The left side of the home page displays the currently active and inactive profiles for select applications. A profile is a collection of system settings that are grouped together to optimize the Dell Precision workstation’s performance for your application. You can activate or de-activate a profile. Multiple profiles may be active at the same time. Even after you exit the Dell Precision Optimizer user interface, the selected profile(s) remain active.
Dell Precision Optimizer has several application specific profiles to help improve the user experience. These profiles are disabled by default. You may have to enable the profile for your given application (if available in Dell Precision Optimizer) to see its benefits.
New application profiles will be made available via Optimizer system updates available in the System Maintenance module or Check New Profiles.
When this button is clicked, the application checks if there are any new profiles that are available on the server. New profiles are downloaded, obsolete profiles may be deleted and some profiles may get updated from the server.
This section lists the profiles that are currently active on your system. A profile is considered active if it is enabled and its policies are started every time the system starts. The user can click on any of these profiles to navigate to the Profiles and Policies page and see the details of the selected profile. Users will also be able to disable an active profile or enable an inactive profile.
A profile that is not active is called an inactive profile. These profiles are disabled by the user.
