Intel QPI Link Frequency

NOTE:

This option is available on Gen8 servers with multiple Intel processors.

This option enables you to set the QPI Link frequency to a low speed. Running at a lower frequency
may reduce power consumption, but may also impact system performance.

Options include:

•

Auto

(default)

•

Min QPI Speed
