Enabling Memory Proximity Reporting for I/O

Enables or disables whether the system ROM reports the proximity relationship between I/O devices and system memory to the operating system. Most operating systems can use this information to efficiently assign memory resources for devices, such as network controllers and storage devices.

Procedure
  1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Power and Performance Options > I/O Options.
  2. For the option Memory Proximity Reporting for I/O, select one of the following:
    • Enabled

    • Disabled

    NOTE:

    Certain I/O devices might not be able to take advantage of I/O handling benefits if their OS drivers are not properly optimized to support this feature. For more information, see your operating system and I/O device documentation.

  3. Save your changes.
