Devices and I/O Ports
Items on this menu vary by server platforms. Items described here might be slightly different from those for your server.
Item | Options | Description |
---|---|---|
MM Config Base |
| [Auto]: The system assigns the value automatically. A higher value increases memory available to the operating system below 4GB but reduces memory mapped I/O (MMIO) resources available to PCI adapters. A lower value increases MMIO resources but decreases memory available to the operating system below 4GB. If any issue occurs after changing the setting, you can revert to the previous selection. |
MMIOH Base |
| Set the MMIOH High base address. This setting can be configured with a value that is higher than the total memory installed, including any CXL memory. |
MMIOH Size |
| Select the available granularity size used to assign MMIO high resources. Per stack, MMIO high resource assignments are multiples of the granularity where 1 unit per stack is the default allocation. |
SRIOV |
| Enable or disable support of resource allocation for Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) virtual functions during system boot. Note When a preset workload profile is selected, this setting is not changeable and is grayed out. To change the setting, select first. Then, you can change this setting. |
Resizable BAR |
| Resizable Base Address Register (BAR) is a PCIe capability. It essentially allows the compatible PCIe devices to negotiate more BAR resources from the system, resulting in improved performance. |
DMA Control Opt-In Flag |
| Enable or disable the DMA Control Opt-In Flag (DMA_CTRL_PLATFORM_OPT_IN_FLAG) in the DMA Remapping (DMAR) ACPI table. This item is not compatible with Direct Device Assignment (DDA). |
Pre-boot DMA Protection |
| Enable or disable Direct Memory Access (DMA) protection in the pre-boot environment. |
Enable/Disable Onboard Device(s) | N/A | Enable or disable onboard devices or slots. |
Enable/Disable Adapter Option ROM Support | N/A | Enable or disable UEFI-compliant adapter support. Disabling UEFI support may adversely affect pre-boot/boot functions. |
PCIe Gen Speed Selection | N/A | Choose the generation speed for the available PCIe slots. |
Override Slot Bifurcation | N/A | This setting is used to override the bifurcation setting of the physical x16 slot to support the adapter with multiple devices. |
PCIe Link Degraded Reporting Selection | N/A | Choose whether to suppress the PCIe link degraded error for available PCIe slots. |
Console Redirection Settings | N/A | Configure console redirection and COM port settings |
Intel® VMD technology | N/A | Enable or disable Intel® Volume Management Device (VMD) technology. |
