BIOS Settings for Power Saving: CW-AT-10G-8P-N350

During startup, keep pressing the Delete key to enter the BIOS ➡️ Chipset ➡️ System Agent (SA) Configuration ➡️ Graphics Configuration ➡️ Yellow Screen Workaround ➡️ Press Enter. In the pop-up menu, change the setting to Enabled.

Once Yellow Screen Workaround is enabled, all advanced settings menus will become available. A new Power submenu will appear under the Advanced menu, where you can configure L1/L2-related settings and also disable Turbo Mode to further reduce power consumption.

Thanks for your response, so ASPM L1 can be enabled without issues for all these devices?

Hello support, changing ASPM parameters in the BIOS made the AQC113C Nic dissappear. It is no longer detected by Unraid. I tried restoring BIOS defaults but still 10gb NIC is not to be seen. How can I get back the integrated 10GB NIC?

Quick update, I loaded default BIOS config, flashed BIOS using ISO again, turned the machine off and disconnected from power 30 minutes. Turned it on an the AQC113C is back. I will leave BIOS config as is, but any recommended setting to improve idle power consumption is welcomed.
