AMD Opteron 6200 Series Processors

and System Memory—Information

Update

Important Information

The following Dell PowerEdge systems support the complete feature set of AMD

Opteron 6200 series processors:

• M915

• R715

• R815

The following conditions apply:

• Your system requires a BIOS upgrade to support Opteron 6200 series

processors. You can download the BIOS at

support.dell.com.

• Do not mix Opteron 6100 and 6200 series processors.

• PowerEdge R815 supports a maximum of two 140 W Opteron 6200 series

processors. In a four-processor configuration, install 85 W or 115 W

processors.

2011 - 12 Rev. A01

New System Features With Opteron 6200 Series

Processors

• The processor frequency drops to 500 MHz when the system is idle to reduce

power consumption.

• Application Power Management — The Thermal Design Power (TDP) of the

processor denotes its power consumption. This feature optimizes system

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.

• Low Voltage Memory Modules (DDR3L DIMMs) — The Opteron 6200 series

processors support DDR3L DIMMs at a lower operating voltage of 1.35 V.

NOTE: BIOS setup options allow you to control frequency and voltage

configurations within allowable limits.

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 16) in each processor.

L2 Cache Displays the level 2 cache size (up to 16 MB).

L3 Cache Displays the level 3 cache size (up to 16 MB).

NOTE: Minimum partition size is 2 MB.

Core Performance Boost Mode

(Enabled default)

NOTE: Also known as Turbo CORE.

In this mode, workloads using a lesser number

of cores boost the exercised cores to higher

performance states.

Power Management Screen

System Memory

PowerEdge R815 and R715 systems configured with two memory modules per

channel support up to 1600 MHz memory.

NOTE: For information about the memory configuration guidelines, see your system’s

Hardware Owner’s Manual at support.dell.com/manuals.

System Memory Update—PowerEdge R815

• 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB single- and dual-rank RDIMMs support speeds up to

1600 MHz.

• 32 GB quad-rank RDIMMs support speeds up to 1066 MHz.

• Up to 1 TB of memory (using 32 GB RDIMMs) is supported.

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

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.

Table 1 and Table 2 show the possible memory configurations using 16 GB and

32 GB RDIMMs in two- or four-processor systems.

NOTE: DIMMs A1-A8 are assigned to processor 1, DIMMs B1-B8 are assigned to

processor 2, and so on.

AMD Opteron 6200 系列处理器和系

统内存—信息更新

重要信息

以下 Dell PowerEdge 系统支持 AMD Opteron 6200 系列处理器的完整功能

组：

• M915

• R715

• R815

请遵循以下条件：

•您的系统需要 BIOS 升级以支持 Opteron 6200 系列处理器。您可从

support.dell.com 下载 BIOS。

•请混合使用 Opteron 6100 和6200 系列处理器。

• PowerEdge R815 最多支持两个 140 W Opteron 6200 系列处理器。在四
