C-STATE Tech

RMC 7132

1U Rackmount System

C-STATE Tech

If enabled, C-State is set by the system automatically to either C2, C3 or C4 state. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

C-State package limit setting

If set to Auto, the AMI BIOS will automatically set the limit on the C-State package register. The options are Auto, C1, C3, C6 and C7.

C1 Auto Demotion

When enabled, the CPU will conditionally demote C3, C6 or C7 requests to C1 based on un-core auto-demote information. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

C3 Auto Demotion

When enabled, the CPU will conditionally demote C6 or C7 requests to C3 based on un-core auto- demote information. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

DCA Technology

This feature accelerates the performance of TOE devices. Note: A TOE device is a specialized, dedicated processor that is installed on an add-on card or a network card to handle some or all packet processing of this add-on card. For this moth- erboard, the TOE device is built inside the ESB 2 South Bridge chip. This feature is supported only by some types of processors (i.e., Intel Nehalem-WS 1S). The options are Enabled and Disabled.

DCA Prefetch Delay

A DCA Prefetch is used with TOE components to prefetch data in order to shorten execution cycles and maximize data processing efficiency. Prefetching too fre- quently can saturate the cache directory and delay necessary cache accesses. This feature reduces or increases the frequency the system prefetches data. The options are [8], [16], [32], [40], [48], [56], [64], [72], [80], [88], [96], [104], [112], [120]

XAdvanced Chipset Control

The items included in the Advanced Settings submenu are listed below:

QPI Links Speed

Use this feature to select QPI data transfer speed. The options are Slow-mode, and Full Speed.

QPI Frequency

Use this option to set the QPI frequency. The options are Auto, 4.800 GT, 5.866 GT, and 6.400 GT.
