Description
The Optimizer Mode if enabled, the DRAM controllers operate independently in the
64-bit mode and provide optimized memory performance.
The Mirror Mode if enabled, the system maintains two identical copies of data in
memory, and the total available system memory is one half of the total installed physical
memory. Half of the installed memory is used to mirror the active memory modules.
This feature provides maximum reliability and enables the system to continue running
even during a catastrophic memory failure by switching over to the mirrored copy.
The installation guidelines to enable Mirror Mode require that the memory modules be
identical in size, speed, and technology, and they must be populated in sets of 6 per
processor.
Single Rank Spare Mode allocates one rank per channel as a spare. If excessive
correctable errors occur in a rank or channel, while the operating system is running, they
are moved to the spare area to prevent errors from causing an uncorrectable failure.
Requires two or more ranks to be populated in each channel.
