Processor Settings screen details

Menu Item	Description
	NOTE: The Dell Fault Resilient Mode establishes an area of memory that is
	fault resilient. This mode can be used by an operating system that supports the
	feature to load critical applications or enables the operating system kernel to
	maximize system availability.
Node Interleaving	Specifies if Non-Uniform Memory architecture (NUMA) is supported. If this field is
	Enabled, memory interleaving is supported if a symmetric memory configuration is
	installed. If Disabled, the system supports NUMA (asymmetric) memory
	configurations. By default, Node Interleaving option is set to Disabled.
Snoop Mode	Specifies the Snoop Mode options. Snoop Mode options available are Home
	Snoop, Early Snoop, Cluster on Die. By default, the Snoop Mode option is set to
	Early Snoop. The field is only available when Node Interleaving is Disabled.

Processor Settings screen details

You can use the Processor Settings screen to view the processor settings and perform specific functions such as enabling virtualization technology, hardware prefetcher, and logical processor idling.

You can view the Processor Settings screen by clicking System Setup Main Menu → System BIOS → Processor Settings.

The Processor Settings screen details are explained as follows:

Menu Item	Description
Logical Processor	Enables or disables the logical processors and displays the number of logical
	processors. If the Logical Processor option is set to Enabled, the BIOS displays all
	the logical processors. If this option is set to Disabled, the BIOS only displays one
	logical processor per core. By default, the Logical Processor option is set to
	Enabled.
Maximum data	QPI Speed maximum data rate 9.6 Gt/s, 8.0 GT/s, 6.4 GT/s
rate
Alternate RTID	Enables you to allocate more RTIDs to the remote socket, thereby increasing
(Requestor	cache performance between the sockets or easing work in normal mode for
Transaction ID)	NUMA. By default, the Alternate RTID (Requestor Transaction ID) Setting is set to
Setting	Disabled.
Virtualization	Enables or disables the additional hardware capabilities provided for virtualization.
Technology	By default, the Virtualization Technology option is set to Enabled.
Address	Allows you to define the Address Translation Cache (ATC) for devices to cache the
Translation	DMA transactions. This filed provides an interfaces to a chipset’s Address
Services (ATS)	Translation and Protection Table to translate DMA addresses to host addresses. By
	default, the option is set to Enabled.
Adjacent Cache	Optimizes the system for applications that require high utilization of sequential
Line Prefetch	memory access. By default, the Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch option is set to
	Enabled. You can disable this option for applications that require high utilization of
	random memory access.
Hardware	Enables or disables the hardware prefetcher. By default, the Hardware Prefetcher
Prefetcher	option is set to Enabled.
DCU Streamer	Allows you to enable or disable the Data Cache Unit (DCU) streamer prefetcher. By
Prefetcher	default, the DCU Streamer Prefetcher option is set to Enabled.
