Dell EMC PowerEdge MX740c Reference Guide

Option Description
Directory AtoS AtoS optimization reduces remote read latencies for repeat read accesses without intervening writes.
This option is set to Disabled by default.
FastGo Enables you to select CR OOS Configuration Profiles.
IRQ Throttle Enables you to throttle local requests that are targeting a remote address.
Logical Processor
Idling
Enables you to improve the energy efficiency of a system. It uses the operating system core parking
algorithm and parks some of the logical processors in the system which in turn allows the corresponding
processor cores to transition into a lower power idle state. This option can only be enabled if the
operating system supports it. It is set to Disabled by default.
NOTE: This feature is not supported if CPU Power Management is set to Maximum Performance.
Configurable TDP Enables you to configure the TDP level. The available options are Nominal, Level 1 and Level 2. This
option is set to Nominal by default.
NOTE: This option is only available on certain stock keeping units (SKUs) of the processors.
x2APIC Mode Enables or disables the x2APIC mode. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Dell Controlled
Turbo
Controls the turbo engagement. Enable this option only when System Profile is set to Performance.
NOTE: Depending on the number of installed CPUs, there might be up to two processor listings.
Dell AVX Scaling
Technology
Enables you to configure the Dell AVX scaling technology. This option is set to 0 by default.
AVX ICCP Pre-
Grant
Allows the system to select between different AVX ICCP transition levels offered by Intel. The default
level is 128 Heavy.
Number of Cores
per Processor
Controls the number of enabled cores in the processor. Under certain circumstances, you may see limited
performance improvements to Intel Turbo Boost Technology and benefits from potentially larger shared
caches, when you reduce the number of enabled cores. Most computing environments tend to benefit
more from larger number of processing cores, so you must carefully weigh the disabling of cores to gain
nominal performance enhancements.
Process Core
Speed
Displays the core speed of the processor(s).
Process Bus
Speed
Displays the bus speed of the processor(s).
Processor n
The following settings are displayed for each processor installed in the system:
Option Description
Family-Model-
Stepping
Specifies the family, model, and stepping of the processor as defined by Intel.
Brand Specifies the brand name.
Level 2 Cache Specifies the total L2 cache.
Level 3 Cache Specifies the total L3 cache.
Number of Cores Specifies the number of cores per processor.
Maximum
Memory Capacity
Specifies the maximum memory capacity per processor.
Microcode Specifies the microcode.
SATA Settings
You can use the SATA Settings screen to view the SATA settings of SATA devices and enable SATA and PCIe NVMe RAID
mode on your system.
