SuperServer E300-9A-8CN8 User's Manual
L2 Prefetcher
If enabled, the hardware prefetcher will prefetch streams of data and instructions from the main
memory to the L2 cache to improve CPU performance. The options are Enable and Disable.
ACPI 3.0 T-States
Select Enable to support ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) 3.0 T-States to
determine how the processor will report to the operating system during CPU-Throttling states.
The options are Disable and Enable.
*If the feature above is enabled, T-State Throttle will be availabe for configuration:
T-State Throttle
Use this feature to select the On-Die thermal throttling. The options are default, 12.5%,
25.0%, 37.5%, 50.0%, 62.5%, 75.0%, and 87.5%.
Max CPUID Value Limit
Use this feature to set the maximum CPU ID value. Enable this feature to boot the legacy
operating systems that cannot support processors with extended CPUID functions. The
options are Disable and Enable.
Execute Disable Bit
Set to Enable for Execute Disable Bit support, which will allow the processor to designate
areas in the system memory where an application code can execute and where it cannot,
thus preventing a worm or a virus from flooding illegal codes to overwhelm the processor or
damaging the system during a virus attack. The options are Disable and Enable. (Refer to
the Intel and Microsoft websites for more information.)
Virtualization Technology
Select Enable to use Intel Virtualization Technology to allow one platform to run multiple
operating systems and applications in independent partitions, creating multiple virtual systems
in one physical computer. The options are Disable and Enable.
Extended APIC (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 Enable, 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 Instructions (NI) to
ensure data security. The options are Disable and Enable.
