Thanks @cywang117 , I updated the section

| The same balenOS versions for Jetson Orin which support configurable fan profiles also offer the possibility for selecting the desired power mode. You can choose between "low", "mid" and "high" or specify the power mode index directly by navigating to the "Device Configuration" page in the balena-cloud dashboard. The available power modes indexes for your device-type are visible in the host OS in `/etc/nvpmodel.conf`. Similar to the fan profile, preloading the desired power mode configuration can be achieved by editing [config.json](/reference/OS/configuration/#about-configjson) and specifying the desired [power mode](/reference/OS/configuration/#powermode) before provisioning the device. |

Selecting the desired option from how? Will it be a dropdown, will it be a checkbox?
What will the option be called on the Device Configuration page.

@cywang117 will this be a drop-down that also allows custom strings, or a string box?

- Let's not mention options mentioned in the docs on the account of Nvidia making a 3rd mode called "High power" and then that prompts us to correct our docs. Looking into the future this decreases our maintenance.
- Additionally, I am right to assume this is also a fleet configuration option?
- Need to be specific at places.

@vipulgupta2048 1) & 3) are addressed. @cywang117 can you please confirm if these configurations will be available for fleets as well?

- Being specific about which versions would support this feature in this section as well would be recommended. Sometimes we would only link this heading in support and the user won't be reading the heading above or understand what are configurable fan profiles. Specific is better.

- is addressed. I guess 2) was a typo or the comment was maybe not saved @vipulgupta2048 ?

| NOTE: In order for the selected configuration to be applied, the device will automatically reboot after you have chosen a different power mode. |

Better to add this to the section above only and not as a note.
