3.5.5 APM Configuration
Allows you to configure the Advance Power Management (APM) settings.
Restore AC Power Loss [Last State]
[Power Off] The system goes into off state after an AC power loss.
[Power On] The system will reboot after an AC power loss.
[Last State] The system goes into either off or on state, whatever the system state was
before the AC power loss.
Power On By PCI-E [Disabled]
[Disabled] Disables the PCIE devices to generate a wake event.
[Enabled] Enables the PCIE devices to generate a wake event.
Power On By RTC [Disabled]
[Disabled] Disables RTC to generate a wake event.
[Enabled] When set to [Enabled], the items RTC Alarm Date (Days) and
Hour/Minute/Second will become user-configurable with set values.

performs L3 packet forwarding.
[Accelerator Throughput] Tuned to maximum peer-to-peer PCIe throughput
with accelerators such as GPU’s.
[VMware vSphere Optimized] Tuned for general virt+P3+Q4.
[Linux KVM Optimized] Tuned for general virtualization performance when
using Linux KVM.
[Container Optimized] Optimized for container performance.
[RDBMS Optimized] Tuned for relational databases.
[Big Data Analytics Optimized] Tuned for big data analytics.
[IOT Gateway] Tuned for throughput analytics as observed by IOT
gateways.
[HPC Optimized] Tuned for general HPC performance.
[OpenStack NFV] Tuned for Openstack based NFV workloads.
[OpenStack for RealTime Kernel] Tuned for Openstack with RealTime kernal
enabled.
