	 <dt><b>Utilization Profile:</b></dt> 
	 <dd>
	 This BIOS switch allows 2 options: "Even" and "Unbalanced". The default is "Even" 
	 and the best choice for all workloads utilizing the whole system. In cases where 
	 the utilization is highly concentrated on few resources of the system the 
	 performance of the application could be improved by setting to "Unbalanced". 
	 The BIOS switch is only selectable if the BIOS switch "Power Technology" is set to 
	 "Custom" and the BIOS switch "Override OS Energy Performance" is enabled.         
	 </dd>
	 <dd>                
	 Setting this option to "Unbalanced" may improve performance but also 
	 increase the power consumption of the system. Users should only select 
	 this option after performing application benchmarking to verify improved
	 performance in their environment.
	 </dd>

	 <dt><b>Energy Performance:</b></dt> 
	 <dd>
	 This BIOS switch allows 4 options: "Balanced performance", "Performance", 
	 "Balanced Energy" and "Energy Efficient". The default is "Balanced Performance" 
	 optimized to maximum power savings with minimal impact on performance. 
	 "Performance" disables all power management options with any impact on performance. 
	 "Balanced Energy" is optimized for power efficiency and "Energy Efficient" for 
	 power savings. The BIOS switch is only selectable if the BIOS switch "Power Technology" 
	 is set to "Custom" and the BIOS switch "Override OS Energy Performance" is enabled.         

	 </dd>
	 <dd>                
	 The two options "Balanced Performance" and "Balanced Energy" should always be the
	 first choice as both options optimize the efficiency of the system. In cases where
	 the performance is not sufficient or the power consumption is too high the two
	 options "Performance" or "Energy Efficient" could be an alternative.
