Reference Guide

Option Description
Write Data CRC Enables or disables the Write Data CRC. This option is set to Disabled by default.
Memory Patrol
Scrub
Sets the memory patrol scrub frequency. 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 Processor Uncore Frequency option.
Dynamic mode enables the processor to optimize power resources across the cores and uncore 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.
Number of Turbo
Boost Enabled
Cores for
Processor 1
NOTE: If there are two processors installed in the system, you will see an entry for Number of
Turbo Boost Enabled Cores for Processor 2.
Controls the number of turbo boost enabled cores for Processor 1. The maximum number of cores is All
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.
NOTE: This option can be disabled only if the C States option in the Custom mode is set to
disabled.
NOTE: When C States is set to Enabled in the Custom mode, changing the Monitor/Mwait setting
does not impact the system power or performance.
CPU
Interconnect Bus
Link Power
Management
Enables or disables the CPU Interconnect Bus Link Power Management. This option is set to Enabled by
default.
PCI ASPM L1 Link
Power
Management
Enables or disables the PCI ASPM L1 Link Power Management. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Intel Persistent
Memory CR QoS
Controls the tuning function for Quality of Service (QoS) knobs. Disabled by default. Recipe 1 is
recommended for 2-2-2 memory configurations in App-Direct. Recipe 2 is recommended for other
memory configurations in App-Direct. Recipe 3 is recommended for 1 DIMM per channel configurations.
Intel Persistent
Memory
Performance
Setting
Controls the thresholds that trigger switching between near (RDIMM/LRDIMM) and far (DCPMM)
memory. BW Optimized, selected by default, optimizes for RDIMM/LRDIMM and DCPMM bandwidth.
Latency Optimized offers better RDIMM/LRDIMM latency in the presence of DCPMM. Balanced
Profile optimizes performance with Memory Mode-configured DCPMM.
