 Before diving into the configuration, here is the spec sheet for each node in the cluster. These units feature Intel

+vPro and ThinkCentre BIOS, which is essential for the advanced BIOS settings that we are about to toggle:
 
 - CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700 @ 3.60GHz (4 Cores / 8 Threads)
 - RAM: 16GB DDR4
 - Storage: 500GB SSD
 - Network: Dedicated 5-port 1Gbps Ethernet Switch
+- Wattage: 65W

+take advantage of features that come with ThinkCentre BIOS such as the auto-power on after a power loss.
