v Performance Mode Setup Menu
If certain types of processor cards are installed in the system, this menu is not
applicable. For other types of processor cards, this menu will be active after the first
boot as noted below.
Note: The first time the system is booted after NVRAM is cleared, Not Applicable
will display under Performance Mode Setup Menu on the screen. This may
also happen if the service processor is replaced, or the processor MCMs are
upgraded.
If option 12 is selected when Not Applicable is on the screen, the system will
respond with Not Applicable and redisplay the system information menu.
The setup menu can be displayed after the performance mode is set, which
happens the first time the system is booted.
The default performance mode is set by the firmware during IPL. The default mode
provides the optimum performance for the hardware configuration of the system. The
performance mode is systemwide; it cannot be set on a per-partition basis.
You can override the default setting by using the performance mode setup menu.
The performance mode setup menu will be similar to the following:
