This option allows the user to choose
a Fan Profile that is optimized for
maximizing performance or for
minimizing acoustic noise.

When Performance is selected, the
thermal conditions in the system are
controlled by raising fan speed when
necessary to raise cooling
performance. This provides cooling
without impacting system
performance, but may impact system
acoustic performance

performance. This provides cooling
without impacting system
performance, but may impact system
acoustic performance
– fans running
faster are typically louder.
When Acoustic is selected, then
rather than increasing fan speed for
additional cooling, the system will
attempt first to control thermal
conditions by throttling memory to
reduce heat production. This
regulates the system’s thermal
condition without changing the
acoustic performance, but throttling
memory may impact system
performance.

Disabled
Enabled
Enabling this option allows the
system fans to operate in Quiet
‘Fan off’ mode while still maintaining
sufficient system cooling. In this
mode, fan sensors become
unavailable and cannot be
monitored. There will be limited fan

system fans to operate in Quiet
‘Fan off’ mode while still maintaining
sufficient system cooling. In this
mode, fan sensors become
unavailable and cannot be
monitored. There will be limited fan
related event generation
.
When enabled, this option allows fans
to idle or turn off when sufficient
thermal margin is available,
decreasing the acoustic noise
produced by the system and
decreasing system power
consumption. Fans will run as needed
to maintain thermal control. The actual
decrease in fan speed depends on the
system thermal loading, which in turn
depends on system configuration and
workload.

Security Screen (Tab)
The Security screen allows the user to enable and set the user and administrative password
and to lock out the front panel buttons so they cannot be used. This screen also allows the user
to enable and activate the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security settings on those boards
that support TPM.
