Intel (R) Turbo Boost Technology
Use this option to enable or disable Intel Turbo Boost Technology. The technology controls whether the
processor transitions to a higher frequency than the processor's rated speed if the processor has available
power and is within temperature specifications.
Enabling or disabling Intel Turbo Boost Technology
Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Performance Options > Intel (R) Turbo Boost Technology and press Enter.
2. Select a setting and press Enter.
a. Enabled—Enables the logical processor cores on processors supporting hyperthreading technology.
b. Disabled —Reduces power usage and also reduces the system’s maximum achievable performance
under some workloads.
3. Press F10.
ACPI SLIT Preferences
Use this option to enable or disable the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface System Locality
Information Table (ACPI SLIT). It defines the relative access times between processors, memory subsystems,
and I/O subsystems. Operating systems that support the SLIT can use this information to improve
performance by allocating resources and workloads more efficiently.
Enabling or disabling ACPI SLIT preferences
Procedure
1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU) > Performance Options > ACPI SLIT Preferences and press Enter.
2. Select a setting and press Enter.
