Option Description

NOTE: The Dell Fault Resilient Mode option 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 the 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. This option is set to Disabled by default.

Snoop Mode Specifies the Snoop Mode options. The Snoop Mode options available are Home Snoop, Early Snoop, and

Cluster on Die. This option is set to Early Snoop by default. This field is available only when the Node

Interleaving is set to Disabled.
