Intel Virtualization Technology (Available when supported by the CPU)

Select Enable for Intel Virtualization Technology support, which will allow one
platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent parti-
tions, creating multiple "virtual" systems in one physical computer. The options
are

Enable

and Disable.

Note

: If a change is made to this setting, you will need to reboot the

system for the change to take effect. Refer to Intel’s website for detailed
information.



Advanced Power Management Configuration

This section is used to configure the following CPU Power Management settings.

Power Technology

Select Energy Efficiency to support power-saving mode. Select Custom to custom

ize system power settings. Select Disabled to disable power-saving settings. The
options are Disable,

Energy Efficient

and Custom.

If the Power Technology option is set to Energy Efficient or Custom, the following

items will be displayed:

Energy Performance Tuning (Available when Power Technology is set to

Energy Efficient or Custom)

Select Enable to support energy-performance tuning to enhance CPU energy ef-

ficiency. The options are Enable and

Disable

Energy Performance Bias Setting (Available when Power Technology is set

to Energy Efficient or Custom)

Use this feature to select an appropriate fan-speed setting for your system. Select
Performance to maximize system performance with maximum cooling, which will

increase power consumption. Select Power to maximize energy efficiency by reduc

ing fan-speeds, which might compromise system performance. The fan speeds are

controlled by the firmware management via IPMI 2.0. The options are Performance,

Balanced Performance

, Balanced Power, and Power.

Energy Efficiency Turbo (Available when Power Technology is set to

Energy Efficient or Custom)

Select Enable for Energy Efficiency Turbo support to turn up CPU core frequency
to improve CPU performance without compromising energy efficiency. The options

are

Enable

and Disable.

If the Power Technology option is set to Custom, the following items will be dis

played:



CPU P State Control (Available when Power Technology

is set to Custom)

EIST (P-States) (Available when Power Technology is set to Custom)

EIST (Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology) allows the system to automatically
adjust processor voltage and core frequency to reduce power consumption and
heat dissipation. The options are Disable and

Enable

Turbo Mode (Available when Power Technology is set to Custom)

Select Enable to use the Turbo Mode to boost system performance. The options
are

Enable

and Disable.

P-State Coordination (Available when Power Technology is set to

Custom)

This feature determines how an ACPI-aware operating system will coordi-
nate P-state transitions between logical processors. P-state is also known as
"SpeedStep" for Intel processors. Select HW_ALL to change the P-State coor-
dination type for all hardware components. This option is recommended for the
E5-2600 V3/V4 platform. Select SW_ALL to change the P-State coordination type
for all software installed in the system. Select SW_ANY to change the P-state

coordination type for a particular software program specified by the user. The

options are

HW_All

SW_ALL, and SW_ANY.



CPU C State Control (Available when Power Technology

is set to Custom)

Package C-State limit (Available when Power Technology is set to

Custom)

Use this item to set the limit on the C-state package register. The options are
C0/C1 State, C2 State, C6 (non Retention) State

and

C6 (Retention) State.

CPU C3 Report

Select Enable to allow the BIOS to report the CPU C3 State (ACPI C2) to the
operating system. During the CPU C3 State, the CPU clock generator is turned
off. The options are

Disable

and Enable.

CPU C6 Report

Select Enable to allow the BIOS to report the CPU C6 State (ACPI C3) to the
operating system. During the CPU C6 State, the power to all cache is turned
off. The options are Disable and

Enable
