Super X11DPX-T User's Manual

1.5 Power Supply

As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable
operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates.

1.6 Advanced Power Management

The following new advanced power management features are supported by the motherboard.

Intel Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM)

Intel's Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with real-time thermal
control and power management for maximum energy efficiency. Although IPNM Specification
Version 2.0/3.0 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller), your system
must also have IPNM-compatible Management Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this
feature.
Note: Support for IPNM 2.0/3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used in the
system.

Management Engine (ME)

The Management Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O Hub), provides
Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services provided by SPS are different
from those provided by the ME on client platforms.

1.7 Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Overview

2nd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable-SP processors support new DCPMM (Optane™ DC
Persistent Memory Modules) technology that offers data persistence with higher capacity than
existing memory modules and lower latency than NVMe SSDs. DCPMM memory provides
hyper-speed storage capability for high performance computing platforms with flexible
configuration options.
