Configuring AMP modes

Not all ProLiant servers support all AMP modes. RBSU provides menu options only for the modes supported
by the server. Advanced memory protection within RBSU enables the following advanced memory modes:
•
Advanced ECC Mode—Provides memory protection beyond Standard ECC. All single-bit failures and
some multi-bit failures can be corrected without resulting in system downtime.
•
Online Spare Mode—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is set
aside as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a degraded
DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal or uncorrectable memory error are removed from
operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime.
For DIMM population requirements, see the server-specific user guide.
