Help Text:
Allows the user to set an overall power and performance policy for the system, and when
changed will modify a selected list of options to achieve the policy. These options are still
changeable outside of the policy, but do reflect the changes that the policy makes when a new
policy is selected.
Comments: Choosing one of these four Power and Performance Profiles implements a
number of changes in BIOS settings, both visible settings in the Setup screens and non-visible internal
settings.

Memory Configuration
The Memory Configuration screen allows the user to view details about the DDR3 DIMMs that are installed as
system memory, and alter BIOS Memory Configuration settings where appropriate.
For S1400, S1600, S2400, S2600, and S4600 series boards this screen shows memory system information,
has options to select, and allows the user to select the “Configure Memory RAS and Performance” screen for
further system memory information and configuration.
This screen differs somewhat between different boards which have different memory configurations. Some
boards have one processor socket and fewer DIMMs, while other boards have two sockets or four sockets,
more DIMMs, and the boards may have RAS and Performance options if configured for them
To access this screen from the Main screen, select Advanced > Memory Configuration. To move to another
screen, press the <Esc> key to return to the Advanced screen, then select the desired screen.
