MPS Revision
The AMIBIOS Setup allows you to select whether to use Multi-Processor Specification
(MPS) 1.1 or 1.4. The MPS is a specification by which PC manufacturers design and
build Intel architecture (IA) systems with two or more processors.
MPS version 1.4 added extended configuration tables to improve support for multiple
PCI bus configurations and improve future expandability. Most newer versions of server
operating systems support MPS 1.4 and, as such, you should not change the BIOS Setup
default of 1.4 to 1.1 if your operating system supports the 1.4 version.
Check with the vendor of your operating system to find out which version to use if you
are unsure. Some operating systems may require version 1.1 for compatibility reasons.
Option Description
1.4 This option allows the BIOS to use MultiProcessor Specification version 1.4. This is the default
setting.
1.1 This option allows the BIOS to use MultiProcessor Specification version 1.1.
