Table 19. 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 (OS)
by
default. Other options include
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
OS DBPM
by default. Other option
includes
Maximum Performance
.
Memory Frequency
Sets the speed of the system memory. You can select
Maximum Performance
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.
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.
Write Data CRC
When set to
Enabled
, DDR4 data bus issues are detected and corrected during 'write'
operations. Two extra cycles are required for CRC bit generation which impacts the
performance. Read-only unless System Profile is set to
Custom
. This option is set to
Disabled
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.
Workload Profile
Allows optimization of performance based on the workload type. The
Workload Profile
setting is not a
state
. Setting a workload profile is a one-time action that in turns modifies
various BIOS settings to be optimized for the requested workload type. This option is set to
Not Configured
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.
Determinism Slider
Set the system determinism by
Power Determinism
or
Performance Determinism
. This
option is set to
Power Determinism
by default.
Efficiency Optimized Mode
Efficiency Optimized Mode maximizes Performance-per-Watt by opportunistically reducing
frequency/power. Enables or disables the Efficiency Optimized Mode.
Algorithm Performance
Boost Disable (ApbDis)
Enables or disables the Algorithm Performance Boost Disable (ApbDis). This option is set to
Disabled
by default.
