Additional requirements for memory sparing
The following rules apply for memory sparing:
• As with independent memory mode, all memory channels must have at least two ranks.
• Every populated memory channel must have at least two ranks of DIMMs.
• If a memory channel has only single rank DIMMs, populate both single rank DIMMs on one channel.
• Single DIMM-per-channel systems do not support single-rank DIMMs in sparing mode.
