This section outlines recommended BIOS settings that can help maximize CN5000 fabric performance. These settings are ideally applied during the initial cluster bring-up and validation phase to ensure the fabric is operating as expected.

After successful validation, you may consider adjusting the BIOS to prioritize power savings, though this may come at the cost of reduced application and fabric performance.

For both Intel and AMD processors, if the BIOS allows, disable PCIe ASPM (Active State Power Management).
