Power Management

You can reduce the managed system's processor power consumption by enabling power saver mode.

1. In the navigation area, expand Systems management.
2. In the navigation area, expand Servers.
3. Select the server that you want to enable to use power saver mode.
4. In the tasks area, expand Operations.
5. Click Power Management.
6. Click Enabled.
7. Choose from any of the following Power Saver mode options:
   • Disable Power Saver mode: Disables the Power Saver mode. The processor clock frequency is set to its nominal value and the power that is used by the system remains at a nominal level.
   • Enable Static Power Saver mode: Reduces the power consumption by lowering the processor clock frequency and the voltage to fixed values. This option also reduces the power consumption of the system while delivering predictable performance.
   • Enable Dynamic Power Saver (favor power) mode: Causes the processor frequency to vary based on the processor use. During periods of high use, the processor frequency is set to the maximum value allowed, which might be above the nominal frequency. Additionally, the frequency is lowered below the nominal frequency during periods of moderate and low processor use.
   • Enable Dynamic Power Saver (favor performance) mode: Causes the processor frequency to vary based on processor use. During periods of moderate or high use, the processor frequency will be set to the maximum value allowed, which might be above the nominal frequency. Additionally, the frequency is lowered below the nominal frequency during periods of low processor use.
   • Enable Fixed Maximum Frequency mode: Causes the processor frequency to be set at a fixed value that you can specify. This option allows you to set the maximum limit of the processor frequency and power consumption of the system.
   Note: Enabling any of the power saver modes causes changes in the processor frequencies, changes in processor use, changes in power consumption, and varying performance.
