Table 17. Serial Communication details (continued) Option Description Failsafe Baud Rate Specifies the failsafe baud rate for console redirection. The BIOS attempts to determine the baud rate automatically. This failsafe baud rate is used only if the attempt fails, and the value must not be changed. This option is set to 115200 by default. Remote Terminal Type Sets the remote console terminal type. This option is set to VT100/VT220 by default. Redirection After Boot Enables or disables the BIOS console redirection when the operating system is loaded. This option is set to Enabled by default.

System Profile Settings details Option Description System Profile Sets the system profile. If you set the System Profile option to a mode other than Custom, the BIOS automatically sets the rest of the options. You can only change the rest of the options if the mode is set to Custom. This option is set to Performance Per Watt (DAPC) by default. Other options include Performance, Performance Per Watt (OS), Workstation Performance and Custom. NOTE: All the parameters on the system profile setting screen are available only when the System Profile option is set to Custom. CPU Power Management Memory Frequency Turbo Boost C1E C States Memory Patrol Scrub Memory Refresh Rate Uncore Frequency Energy Efficient Policy Monitor/Mwait Sets the CPU power management. This option is set to System DBPM (DAPC) by default. Other option includes Maximum Performance, OS DBPM. Sets the speed of the system memory. You can select Maximum Performance, Maximum Reliability or a specific speed. This option is set to Maximum Performance by default. Enables or disables the processor to operate in the turbo boost mode. This option is set to Enabled by default. Enables or disables the processor to switch to a minimum performance state when it is idle. This option is set to Enabled by default. Enables or disables the processor to operate in all available power states. C States allow the processor to enter lower power states when idle. When set to Enabled (OS controlled) or when set to Autonomous (if hardware controlled is supported), the processor can operate in all available Power States to save power, but may increase memory latency and frequency jitter. This option is set to Enabled by default. Sets the memory patrol scrub mode. This option is set to Standard by default. Sets the memory refresh rate to either 1x or 2x. This option is set to 1x by default. Enables you to select the Uncore Frequency option. Dynamic mode enables the processor to optimize power resources across cores and uncores during runtime. The optimization of the uncore frequency to either save power or optimize performance is influenced by the setting of the Energy Efficiency Policy option. Enables you to select the Energy Efficient Policy option. The CPU uses the setting to manipulate the internal behavior of the processor and determines whether to target higher performance or better power savings. This option is set to Balanced Performance by default. Enables the Monitor/Mwait instructions in the processor. This option is set to Enabled for all system profiles, except Custom by default. 16 Pre-operating system management applications

Option
Description
System Profile
Sets the system profile. If you set the System Profile option to a mode other than
Custom
,
the BIOS automatically sets the rest of the options. You can only change the rest of the
options if the mode is set to
Custom
. This option is set to
Performance Per Watt
(DAPC)
by default. Other options include
Performance
,
Performance Per Watt (OS)
,
Workstation Performance
and
Custom
.
NOTE:
All the parameters on the system profile setting screen are available only when
the
System Profile
option is set to
Custom
.
CPU Power Management
Sets the CPU power management. This option is set to
System DBPM (DAPC)
by default.
Other option includes
Maximum Performance
,
OS DBPM
.
Memory Frequency
Sets the speed of the system memory. You can select
Maximum Performance
,
Maximum
Reliability
or a specific speed. This option is set to
Maximum Performance
by default.
Turbo Boost
Enables or disables the processor to operate in the turbo boost mode. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
C1E
Enables or disables the processor to switch to a minimum performance state when it is idle.
This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
C States
Enables or disables the processor to operate in all available power states. C States allow the
processor to enter lower power states when idle. When set to
Enabled
(OS controlled) or
when set to
Autonomous
(if hardware controlled is supported), the processor can operate
in all available Power States to save power, but may increase memory latency and frequency
jitter. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
Memory Patrol Scrub
Sets the memory patrol scrub mode. This option is set to
Standard
by default.
Memory Refresh Rate
Sets the memory refresh rate to either 1x or 2x. This option is set to
1x
by default.
Uncore Frequency
Enables you to select the
Uncore Frequency
option.
Dynamic mode
enables the processor
to optimize power resources across cores and uncores during runtime. The optimization of
the uncore frequency to either save power or optimize performance is influenced by the
setting of the
Energy Efficiency Policy
option.
Energy Efficient Policy
Enables you to select the
Energy Efficient Policy
option. The CPU uses the setting to
manipulate the internal behavior of the processor and determines whether to target higher
performance or better power savings. This option is set to
Balanced Performance
by
default.
Monitor/Mwait
Enables the Monitor/Mwait instructions in the processor. This option is set to
Enabled
for all
system profiles, except
Custom
by default.
