Support for 200 Watt Slots
In order to run the board in a 200 watt slot, the ATCA-7365 IPMC offers two ATCA power levels:
One with 200 watt and one with 260 watt. If the shelf manager selects the 200 Watt power
level, BIOS reduces the number of P-states (Performance states) for both CPUs in the ACPI table
to meet the 200 watt power dissipation requirement for this slot. When the operating system

200 watt mode, the highest CPU frequency is 1.73 GHz.
The selected ATCA power level is displayed on the console at power up and after reset:
