Attribute Name Description
PerformanceThis mode uses the processor's typical power and utilizes discrete
graphics.
HighPerformanceThis mode increases processor sustained power to produce higher
system performance, but produces more noise, increases system surface temperature,
and reduces the battery life.
PrimaryBattChargeCfg Configures the primary battery charge mode. The selected charging mode applies to all
batteries installed in the system. The following are the possible values:
AdaptiveBattery settings are adoptively optimized based on your typical battery
usage pattern.
StandardCharges the battery at a standard rate.
ExpressCharges the battery faster using the express charging algorithm, Dell's fast
charging technology.
PrimAcUseCharges the battery while plugged in, a mode preferred by the users who
operate their systems while plugged in to an external power source.
CustomThe battery charging starts and stops based on user settings specified in
Primary Battery Custom Charge Start and Primary Battery Custom Charge End.
SfpwakeOnLan Enables the system to power on by a special LAN signal, or by a special SFP signal. The
following are the possible values:
SFPAllows the system to be powered on by special SFP signals.
LANSFPAllows the system to be powered on by either by LAN, or by SFP signals.
SFPPXEAllows the system to be powered on by SFP signals, and immediately boot to
PXE.
NOTE: This feature works only if the system is connected to AC power.
SleepMode Determines which sleep mode to be used by the operating system.
NOTE: The BIOS can only support either Modern Standby sleep mode (connected or
disconnected), or S3 sleep mode.
The following are the possible values:
OSAutoSelectionAllows the operating system to select the appropriate sleep mode
automatically.
ForceS3Forces the operating system to use the S3 sleep mode only.
SliceBattChargeCfg Configures the battery slice charging feature. The following are the possible values:
StandardThe battery is charged over a long period of time.
ExpressCharges the battery in Express Charge mode using the express charging
algorithm, Dell's fast charging technology.
PrimAcUseRecommended setting for a user who primarily operates battery while
plugged in.
AdaptiveCharges the battery in Express Charge mode using the express charging
algorithm, Dell's fast charging technology.
CustomCharges the battery in Express Charge mode using the express charging
algorithm, Dell's fast charging technology.
Speedshift Enables or disables the Intel Speed Shift Technology support. Setting this option to
Enabled allows the operating system to select the appropriate processor performance
automatically. The following are the possible values:
Enabled
Disabled
ThermalManagement ThermalManagement cools the fan and the processor to improve the system performance
by reducing noise and temperature. The following are the possible values:
Optimized
Cool
Quiet
UltraPerformance
