vCenter Server and FIPS

So I'm trying to understand exactly what actions get their encryption upgraded to FIPS approved algorithms when enabling FIPS mode on the vCenter Server: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-BE450893-83A4-4F8....

We were going through the STIGs and have FIPS enabled on VAMI (server.fips-mode="enable" in /opt/vmware/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf), so what does checking the box on vCenter through the vSphere Client actually add? Just a bit confused here since it's off by default. Thanks for any help!
