Technical Product Specification

Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP TPS BIOS Setup Interface
Revision 1.3
109
Comments: The numbers of cores that appear as selections depends on the
number of cores available in the processors installed. Boards may have as many as 8
cores in each of 1, 2, or 4 processors. The same number of cores must be active in each
processor package.
This Setup screen should begin with the number of currently-active cores as the number
displayed. See note below – this may be different from the number previously set by the
user.
Note: The ME can control the number of active cores independently of the BIOS Setup
setting. If the ME disables or enables processor cores, that will override the BIOS setting,
and the number selected by BIOS will be disregarded.
