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.
