Menu Item System Memory Testing Memory Operating Mode Node Interleaving Snoop Mode Description Specifies whether system memory tests are run during system boot. Options are Enabled and Disabled. By default, the System Memory Testing option is set to Disabled. 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 default 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. Specifies if Non-Uniform Memory architecture (NUMA) is supported. If this field is set to Enabled, memory interleaving is supported if a symmetric memory configuration is installed. If the field is set to Disabled, the system supports NUMA (asymmetric) memory configurations. By default, the Node Interleaving field option is set to Disabled. Specifies the Snoop Mode options. The Snoop Mode options available are Home Snoop, Early Snoop, and Cluster on Die. By default, the Snoop Mode option is set to Early Snoop. This field is available only when the Node Interleaving is set to 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. 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. Alternate RTID (Requestor Transaction ID) Setting Enables you to allocate more RTIDs to the remote socket, thereby 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. 29
