I have a headless server running Centos 6.5. Our consultant has asked that I ensure that the power settings are set up for maximum performance as opposed to balanced or energy saving.

How can I check this setting or adjust its configuration?

I know that gnome has power settings in a GUI, but I don't have a desktop environment installed regardless.

    Sounds like your consultant has his head in Windows land and you should take what he says with a grain of salt. :)

It depends...

Do you know anything about the hardware and its BIOS settings? That's where I'd check first.

Outside of that, you can modify the system's tuned-adm performance profile. See the chart here. (see the CPU governor)
