Each group of profiles allows for varying fan control policies based on the altitude. For a given
altitude, the Tcontrol SDRs associated with an acoustics-optimized profile generate less noise
than the equivalent performance-optimized profile by driving lower fan speeds, and the BIOS
reduces thermal management requirements by configuring more aggressive memory throttling.
The BMC only supports enabling a fan profile through the command if that profile is supported
on all fan domains defined for the given system. It is important to configure platform Sensor
Data Records (SDRs) so that all desired fan profiles are supported on each fan domain. If no
single profile is supported across all domains, the BMC, by default, uses profile 0 and does not
allow it to be changed.
6.10.4 Memory Thermal Throttling
The server board provides support for system thermal management through open loop throttling
(OLTT) and closed loop throttling (CLTT) of system memory. Normal system operation uses
closed-loop thermal throttling (CLTT) and DIMM temperature monitoring as major factors in
overall thermal and acoustics management. In the event that BIOS is unable to configure the
system for CLTT, it defaults to open-loop thermal throttling (OLTT). In the OLTT mode, it is
assumed that the DIMM temperature sensors are not available for fan speed control. Throttling
levels are changed dynamically to cap throttling based on memory and system thermal
conditions as determined by the system and DIMM power and thermal parameters. The BMC’s
fan speed control functionality is linked to the memory throttling mechanism used.
The following terminology is used for the various memory throttling options:
 Static Open Loop Thermal Throttling (Static-OLTT): OLTT control registers that are
configured by BIOS MRC remain fixed after post. The system does not change any of
the throttling control registers in the embedded memory controller during runtime.
 Static Closed Loop Thermal Throttling (Static-CLTT): CLTT control registers are
configured by BIOS MRC during POST. The memory throttling is run as a closed-loop
system with the DIMM temperature sensors as the control input. Otherwise, the system
does not change any of the throttling control registers in the embedded memory
controller during runtime.
 Dynamic Open Loop Thermal Throttling (Dynamic-OLTT): OLTT control registers are
configured by BIOS MRC during POST. Adjustments are made to the throttling during
runtime based on changes in system cooling (fan speed).
 Dynamic Closed Loop Thermal Throttling (Dynamic-CLTT): CLTT control registers
are configured by BIOS MRC during POST. The memory throttling is run as a closed-
loop system with the DIMM temperature sensors as the control input. Adjustments are
made to the throttling during runtime based on changes in system cooling (fan speed).
