2.7.3 Performance-related individual system settings
The UEFI default settings are configured to provide optimal performance with reasonable
power consumption. Other operating modes are also available to meet various power and
performance requirements. However, individual system settings enable users to fine-tune the
desired characteristics of the IBM eX5 servers.
This section describes the UEFI settings that are related to system performance. Remember
that, in most cases, increasing system performance increases the power consumption of the
system.
Processors
Processor settings control the various performance and power features that are available on
the installed Xeon processor.
Figure 2-25 on page 44 shows the UEFI Processor system settings window with the default
values.
