Enable Intel
On Demand
A processor is equipped with various computing capabilities. Basic capabilities are available at the initial
processor installation, while others remain inactivated. As development environment and tasks evolve,
computing demands may accelerate and require leverage of the previously inactivated processor
capabilities. In such cases, user can select desired processor capabilities and activate them through Intel On
Demand feature-a feature that allows user to customize processor capabilities according to environment
and tasks at hand. The following section specifies system hardware and software requirement, Intel On
Demand enabling and transferring procedures, and list of processor capabilities.
This documentation includes the following sections:
•
"Supported processor" on page 63
•
"Installation tool" on page 63
• XCC and LXCE OneCLI instructions for:
-
"Reading PPIN" on page 65

this document.
Supported processor
Intel On Demand is only supported by Intel On Demand capable processors. For more information on Intel
On Demand capable processors supported by SD530 V3, see
Note: All processors in a system must be installed with identical Intel On Demand feature.
Installation tool
Intel On Demand can be installed via Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) and Lenovo XClarity Essentials
OneCLI (LXCE OneCLI). After confirming that your processor supports Intel On Demand, you also need to
make sure the XCC and LXCE OneCLI installed in your system supports installing Intel On Demand.
1. Check if Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) supports installing Intel On Demand (two methods provided):
• Via XCC WebGUI
Go to BMC Configuration ➙ License, if there is a section named On Demand Capabilities for Intel
CPU in the page, it indicates that current XCC supports installing Intel On Demand, otherwise you
need to update XCC firmware to the latest version to ensure it supports installing Intel On Demand.
