12.2.2.2 Power & Performance
The Power & Performance screen allows the user to specify a profile which is optimized in the direction of
either reduced power consumption or increased performance.
To access this screen from the Main screen, select Advanced > Power and Performance. To move to
another screen, press the <Esc> key to return to the Advanced screen, then select the desired screen.
There are four possible profiles from which to choose. When a Power and Performance Profile is chosen, that
in turn will cause the system to implement a defined list of Setup option settings and internal (non-visible)
settings.
There is an explanation displayed on the screen, because of the fact that other settings may be adjusted
without specifically notifying the user.
