USER MANUAL PowerEdge R515 DELL
AMD Opteron 4200 Series Processors —Information Update
Important Information
The following Dell PowerEdge systems support the complete feature set of Opteron 4200 series processors:
• R515 II
• R415 II
These systems can be identified by the Roman numeral II marked on the system identification panel. See Figure 1.
NOTE: PowerEdge R515 and R415 (not marked with the Roman numeral II) do not support Opteron 4200 series processors.
NOTE: Do not mix Opteron 4100 and 4200 series processors.

New System Features With Opteron 4200 Series Processors
- Application Power Management — The Thermal Design Power (TDP) of the processor denotes its power consumption. This feature optimizes system power consumption.
- Turbo CORE /Core Performance Boost — Boosts all core frequencies when additional TDP is available in a given workload. With lightly threaded workloads, half the processor cores enter C6 sleep state thereby enabling higher speeds.
- The processor frequency drops to 500 MHz when the system is idle to reduce power consumption.
- Performance Monitoring Counters — The Northbridge P-States (performance states) allows more users to access the performance monitor counters at the same time. This feature reduces power consumption and optimizes performance within the specified TDP.
- System Memory:
- Low Voltage Memory Modules (DDR3L DIMMs) — The Opteron 4200 series processors support DDR3L DIMMs at a lower operating voltage of 1.35V .
NOTE: BIOS setup options allow you to control frequency and voltage configurations within allowable limits.
- Memory Speed — DIMM speeds up to 1600 MHz is supported. If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they will operate at the speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).
New BIOS Setup Options
Processor Settings Screen
| Option Description | |
| Number of Cores per Processor(All default) | Allows you to control the number of enabled cores (up to eight) in each processor. |
| L2 Cache Displays the level 2 cache size | (up to 8 MB). |
| L3 Cache Displays the level 3 cache size | (up to 8 MB per socket). |
| Core Performance Boost Mode(Enabled default) | In this mode, workloads using a lesser number of cores boost the exercised cores to higher performance states. |
| NOTE: Also known as Turbo CORE. | |
Power Management Screen
| Option Description | |
| Power Management | Options are OS Control, Custom, and Maximum Performance. The BIOS pre-configures the power settings on this screen as follows:OS Control sets the processor power to OS DBPM, the fan power to Minimum Power, and the memory power to Maximum Performance. In this setting, all processor performance information is passed from the system BIOS to the operating system for control. The operating system sets the processor performance based on processor utilization.Maximum Performance sets all fields to Maximum Performance.If you select Custom, you can configure each option independently. |
