HWA stands for Hardware Acceleration. For Jellyfin, it refers to using a GPU to handle transcoding instead of the CPU. A GPU can generally encode a video faster than a CPU.

If you enable HWA, the CPU utilization during a transcode on the DS920+ will be around 35-50% for a 1080p to 1080p conversion.
Go to your dashboard and into the playback section for transcoding settings.
You need to pass the GPU into the container first however if you're running Jellyfin in a Docker container.
Look at my guide if you want to see how to do so using Compose: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-guide-runni...er-compose
