       This platform flags file is supplied as an example. Please document bios/firmware settings in your
       systems that are set to non-default values for performance runs.  

       You MUST change the filename tag just below; at the very least, change "Invalid" to your company name.

 <dt><b>Power &amp; Performance:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
    <pre>
    This BIOS option define Power Management on server.
    This can be one of the following:  [Performance], [Balanced Performance], [Balanced Power] or [Power].
    [Performance] option - optimization is strongly toward performance, even at the expense of energy efficiency.
    Users should set this option as [Performance] for performing application benchmarking.
    </pre>
 </dd>

 <dt><b>Enforce POR:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
    <pre>
    Enable to enforce POR restriction for DDR4 frequency and voltage programming.
    This can be one of the following:  [Disabled] or [Enabled].
    When memory modules are populated in two or more Dimm Per Channel, users should set this option as [Disabled] for manually selecting Memory Frequency.
    </pre>
 </dd>
 
<dt><b>Memory Operating Speed Selection:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
    <pre>
    This can be one of the following: [Auto], [1333], [1600], [1866], [2133].
    When Enforce POR option is set as [Disabled], users can manually set Memory Frequency to maximum supported by the processor.
    </pre>
 </dd>

 <dt><b>Cluster-on-Die:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
    <pre>
    This Bios option is visible for Intel(R) E5-26xx v3 processors with 10+ cores.
    Enabling this option reduce coherence traffic and cache-to-cache transfer latencies.
    This can be one of the following:  [Enable] or [Disable].
    Users should set this option as [Enable] for performing application benchmarking.
    </pre>
 </dd>

 <dt><b>Set Fan Profile:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
    <pre>
    This feature allows manually selecting cooling mode.
    This can be one of the following:  [Performance], or [Acoustic].
    [Performance] - Fan control provides primary system cooling before attempting to throttle memory.
    [Acoustic] - The system will favor using throttling of memory over boosting fans to cool the system if thermal thresholds are met.
    Users should set this option as [Performance] for performing application benchmarking.
    </pre>
 </dd>
 
 <dt><b>Fan PWM Offset:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
    <pre>
    This number is added to the calculated PWM value to increase Fan Speed.
    Users can set this option from 0 to 100.
    For best cooling (fans full speed) users can set this option as 100.
    </pre>
