The Processor Settings screen details are explained as follows:
Menu Item
Logical Processor
Alternate RTID (Requestor Transaction
ID) Setting
Description
Specifies whether system memory tests are run during system boot.
Options are Enabled and Disabled. By default, the System Memory
Testing option is set to Disabled.
Specifies the memory operating mode. The options available are
Optimizer Mode, Advanced ECC Mode, Mirror Mode, Spare Mode,
Spare with Advanced ECC Mode, and Dell Fault Resilient Mode. By
default, the Memory Operating Mode option is set to Optimizer Mode.
NOTE: The Memory Operating Mode can have different default and
available options based on the memory configuration of your
system.
NOTE: The Dell Fault Resilient Mode establishes an area of memory
that is fault resilient. This mode can be used by an operating system
that supports the feature to load critical applications or enables the
operating system kernel to maximize system availability.
Specifies if Non-Uniform Memory architecture (NUMA) is supported. If
this field is set to Enabled, memory interleaving is supported if a
symmetric memory configuration is installed. If the field is set to
Disabled, the system supports NUMA (asymmetric) memory
configurations. By default, the Node Interleaving field option is set to
Disabled.
Specifies the Snoop Mode options. The Snoop Mode options available
are Home Snoop, Early Snoop, and Cluster on Die. By default, the Snoop
Mode option is set to Early Snoop. This field is available only when the
Node Interleaving is set to Disabled.
Description
Enables or disables the logical processors and displays the
number of logical processors. If the Logical Processor option
is set to Enabled, the BIOS displays all the logical processors.
If this option is set to Disabled, the BIOS only displays one
logical processor per core. By default, the Logical Processor
option is set to Enabled.
Enables you to allocate more RTIDs to the remote socket,
thereby increasing cache performance between the sockets
or easing work in normal mode for NUMA. By default, the
Alternate RTID (Requestor Transaction ID) Setting is set to
Disabled.
