DCA Prefetch Delay
A DCA prefetcher is used with a TOE (TCP/IP Ofoad Engine) adapter to prefetch
data to shorten execution cycles and to maximize data processing efciency.
Prefetching data too frequently can saturate the cache directory and delay neces-
sary cache access. This feature reduces or increases the frequency of system data
prefetching activities. The options are Disable, [8], [16], [32], [40], [48], [56], [64],
[72], [80], [88], [96], [104], and [112].
X2APIC (Extended Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller)
Based on the Intel Hyper-Threading technology, each logical processor (thread) is
assigned 256 APIC IDs (APIDs) in 8-bit bandwidth. When this item is set to En-
able, the APIC ID will be expanded from 8 bits to 16 bits to provide 512 APIDs to
each thread to enhance CPU performance. The options are Disable and Enable.
AES-NI
Select Enable to use the Intel Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) New Instruc-
tions (NI) to ensure data security. The options are Enable and Disable.
Intel Virtualization Technology
Select Enable to use Intel Virtualization Technology so that I/O device assignments
will be reported directly to the VMM (Virtual Memory Management) through the
DMAR ACPI Tables. This feature offers fully-protected I/O resource-sharing across
the Intel platforms, providing the user with greater reliability, security and availability
in networking and data-sharing. The settings are Enable and Disable.
Advanced Power Management Conguration
Power Technology
Select Energy Efcient 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 Efcient, and Custom.
Cong TDP
Select Enable to allow the user to congure the Thermal Design Power (TDP)
settings for the system. The TDP refers to the maximum amount of power al-
lowed for running "real applications" without triggering an overheating event. The
options are Disable and Enable.
