If the device installed in the slot supports this capability, the "Slot Bifurcated" can be
selected.
When "Auto" is selected, the PCIe slot will train at the maximum width supported by
the slot and end point.
When "Slot Bifurcated" is selected, the PCIe slot will be bifurcated into two equal
width slots.
XX: 1/2/3... (XX appears as specific slot number by the processor or the riser card
configuration.)
Use this option to control the PCIe Management Component Transport Protocol
(MCTP) Support for a given slot. This option can be used to disable MCTP support
to a given PCIe endpoint that may not properly support this protocol. It is
recommended that this option remain enabled for full system functionality.
XX: 1/2/3... (XX appears as specific slot number by the processor or the riser card
configuration.)
Use this option to select the fan cooling solution for the system.
"Optimal Cooling" provides the most efficient solution by configuring fan
speeds to the minimum required speed to provide adequate cooling.
"Increased Cooling" runs fans at higher speeds to provide additional cooling.
Select "Increased Cooling" when third-party storage controllers are cabled to
the embedded hard drive cage, or if the system is experiencing thermal issues
that cannot be resolved.
"Maximum Cooling" provides the maximum cooling available on this platform.
"Enhanced CPU Cooling" provides additional cooling to the processors. When
running certain processor intensive workloads, this option can provide
additional cooling to the processors which can result in improved performance.
