Default Power Saving Mode on DL385

When I put a dual core 2.2 GHz DL385 into the BIOS power saving mode, the
system boots up at 1.8 GHz. What regulates whether the system will then
later raise to 2.2 GHz? Does this require installation of a Windows driver
to help the system hardware determine the CPU load is high?

looks like its controlled in the OS ...

the speeds will be kicked up when more processing power is required. Sounds
like Cool n Quiet, but for servers.

This is probably what you are looking for he

Looks like good stuff. I wonder how tunable that driver is, and whether
the speed switching technology is reliable. It would be very very nice if
they had a system gadget for Windows where you could manually turn up the
speed while you are working at the console, and when that times out after 30
minutes then it reverts back to the slower speed.

Particularly on a dual core 2.8 and above, you could probably save a lot of
energy expenses.
