Power Throttling Configuration in BIOS Setup Utility
Before enabling the power throttling feature, you must set the Power Management option to
Active Power Controller or Node Management. Access this option through the BIOS setup
utility’s Server menu. Then from the Server menu you can enable or disable power throttling
and power CAP, and set the chassis CAP value.
Only MB4 can display the power throttling behavior setting in the BIOS setup menu.
Additional Power Throttling Information
• The power throttling feature takes advantage of the node management function to
control
CPU frequency.
• If the chassis CAP function is disabled and power throttling is enabled, the BMC will
set a power supply unit (PSU) limit of one as the chassis CAP value.
• After the power throttling and chassis CAP settings are changed, the main logic board
(MLB)
must be restarted.
• The power cap feature cannot be enabled concurrently with the Intel
®
Data Center
Manager
(DCM).
Power Throttling Protection
The power throttling feature is a full power redundancy feature. This feature adjusts CPU
frequency via a PROCHOT# signal to reduce the MLB's power consumption.
