System BIOS
30 Setting up BIOS on 15th Generation (15G) Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers | 508
Management is set to Maximum Performance and Turbo
Boost is Enabled.
Note: Additional options such as “Controlled Turbo Limit
Minus 1 Bin”, “Controlled Turbo Limit Minus 2 Bins”, and
“Controlled Turbo Limit Minus 3 Bins” may be available if a
valid DPAT 2.0 (Dell Processor Acceleration Technology
2.0) Enterprise license is installed on the system.

Controls the number of enabled cores in each processor.
Under certain circumstances, limited performance
improvements to Intel Turbo Boost Technology and
potentially larger shared caches may benefit some
workloads. Most computing environments tend to benefit
more from larger number of processing cores. Therefore,
disabling cores to gain nominal performance enhancements
must be carefully weighed prior to changing this setting
from the default.
Processor
Core Speed
N/A
Indicates the maximum non-turbo core frequency of the
processor(s).
Processor
Bus Speed
N/A
Indicates the bus speed of the processor(s).
Local Machine
Check
Exception
• Enabled
• Disabled
Enable or disable the LMCE feature. This is an extension of
the MCA Recovery mechanism providing the capability to
deliver Uncorrected Recoverable (UCR) Software
Recoverable Action Required (SRAR) errors to one or more
specific logical processor threads receiving previously
poisoned or corrupted data. When enabled, the UCR SRAR
Machine Check Exception is delivered only to the affected
thread rather than broadcast to all threads in the system.
The feature supports Operating System recovery for cases
of multiple, recoverable faults detected in proximity which
would otherwise result in a fatal machine check event. The
feature is available only on Advanced RAS processors.
Family-Model-
Stepping
N/A
Indicates the family, model, and stepping of the processor.
Brand
N/A
Indicates the brand name provided by the processor
manufacturer.
Level 2 Cache
N/A
Indicates the total size of L2 cache.
