Intel® Virtualization Tech (only for CP307)
This function is used to enable a Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to utilize the additional hard-
ware capabilities. To change the state of this function, a hardware reset is necessary.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Enabled
CPU Thermal Monitor Function
SDO
This function is used to specify the Thermal Monitor Feature. BIOS chooses Intel® Thermal
Monitor 1 (TM1) to control the processor temperature and the power consumption by activating
the Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) when the processor silicon reaches its maximum operating
temperature.
If the processor supports the Intel® Enhanced SpeedStep™ technology, BIOS chooses Intel®
Thermal Monitor 2 (TM2), which controls the processor temperature and power consumption
by initiating an Intel® Enhanced Speedstep™ Technology transition when the processor silicon
reaches its maximum operating temperature.
If Disabled is selected, the BIOS disables the Thermal Monitor 1 or the Thermal Monitor 2 Fea-
ture respectively, i.e. the BIOS disables the CPU built in automatic thermal throttling. If the CPU
becomes overheated, the CP307/CP307-V will shut off automatically.
Optimal and Fail-Safe settings: Enabled
Note: Intel® Thermal Monitor 1 or Intel® Thermal Monitor 2 must be enabled for the pro-
cessor to operate within specification.
Execute-Disable Bit Capability
This function is used to enable the Execute-Disable Bit Capability feature.
Optimal and Fail-Safe default settings: Enabled
