Results
If the memory test results in 25 or less errors, then the RMT basic feature automatically fixes the issues. The test will indicate
a pass result since the defect(s) have been removed. If the memory test results in 26 - 50 errors, the RMT basic feature masks
the defective memory blocks and results in pass with no memory replacement requirement. If the memory test results in more
than 50 errors, then the test is stalled and the result indicates that memory module replacement is required.

Thunderbolt over Type-C

Thunderbolt is a hardware interface that combines data, video, audio, and power in a single connection. Thunderbolt combines
PCI Express (PCIe) and DisplayPort (DP) into one serial signal, and additionally provides DC power, all in one cable. Thunderbolt
1 and Thunderbolt 2 use the same connector as miniDP (DisplayPort) to connect to peripherals, while Thunderbolt 3 uses a USB
Type-C connector.
