Menu Item Description System Memory Speed Displays the system memory speed. System Memory Voltage Displays the system memory voltage. Video Memory Displays the amount of video memory. System Memory Testing 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. Memory Operating Specifies the memory operating mode. The options available are Optimizer Mode, 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 Serial Debug Output 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. By default, it is set to disabled. Processor settings screen NOTE: Depending on the platform, some attributes may or may not be displayed. Menu Item Logical Processor QPI Speed Description Allows you to enable or disable logical processors and display 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. Allows you to set the QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) data rate settings. By default, the QPI Speed option is set to Maximum data rate. NOTE: QPI Speed displays only when both the processors are installed. Alternate RTID (Requestor Allows you to allocate more RTIDs to the remote socket, increasing cache performance between the sockets or work in normal mode for NUMA. By default, the Alternate RTID (Requestor Transaction ID) Setting is set to Disabled. 86
