Using this feature, you can monitor the performance
index of CPU, memory, and I/O. Intel ME supports Compute Usage Per
Second (CUPS) functionality for monitoring the performance. The monitoring
is independent of the OS and does not use CPU resources. The Intel
ME displays a platform CUPS sensor that provides the computation,
memory and I/O resource utilization value in the form of a platform
CUPS Index. iDRAC monitors this CUPS index for overall system utilization
and also the instant value of CPU, Memory, and I/O utilization index.

NOTE: To use this feature,
iDRAC enterprise license is required.
