Changing performance level via BMC Interface
266+
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
267+
268+
It is possible to change SST-PP level using out of band (OOB) agent (Via some
269+
remote management console, through BMC "Baseboard Management Controller"
270+
interface). This mode is supported from the Sapphire Rapids processor
271+
generation. The kernel and tool change to support this mode is added to Linux
272+
kernel version 5.18. To enable this feature, kernel config
273+
"CONFIG_INTEL_HFI_THERMAL" is required. The minimum version of the tool
274+
is "v1.12" to support this feature, which is part of Linux kernel version 5.18.
275+
276+
To support such configuration, this tool can be used as a daemon. Add
277+
a command line option --oob::
278+

# intel-speed-select --oob
