Memory Operating Mode

Specifies the memory operating mode. The options available are

 

Optimizer Mode, Advanced ECC Mode, Mirror Mode, Spare Mode,

 

Spare with Advanced ECC Mode, and Dell Fault Resilient Mode. By

 

default, the Memory Operating Mode option is set to Optimizer Mode.

 

NOTE: The Memory Operating Mode can have different defaults

 

and available options based on the memory configuration of your

 

system.

 

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

If this field is Enabled, memory interleaving is supported if a symmetric

 

memory configuration is installed. If Disabled, the system supports Non-

 

Uniform Memory architecture (NUMA) (asymmetric) memory

 

configurations. By default, Node Interleaving option is set to Disabled.

Snoop Mode

Snoop Mode options available are Disabled, Home Snoop, Early Snoop,

 

Cluster on Die. By default, the Snoop Mode option is set to Disabled. The

 

field is only available when Node Interleaving is Disabled.

Processor Settings screen

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.

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.

Alternate RTID (Requestor

Enables you to allocate more RTIDs to the remote socket, thereby

Transaction ID) Setting

increasing cache performance between the sockets or easing work in

 

normal mode for NUMA. By default, the Alternate RTID (Requestor

 

Transaction ID) Setting is set to Disabled.

Virtualization Technology

Enables or disables the additional hardware capabilities provided for

 

virtualization. By default, the Virtualization Technology option is set to

 

Enabled.

Address Translation Service

Defines the Address Translation Cache (ATC) for devices to cache the

(ATS)

DMA transactions. This field provides an interface to a chipset's Address

 

Translation and Protection Table to translate DMA addresses to host

 

addresses. By default, the option is set to Enabled.

Adjacent Cache Line

Optimizes the system for applications that require high utilization of

Prefetch

sequential 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.
