(e.g. VMware) or as a software dongle. The baseboard can be equipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM). This module enables programs from third party manufacturers to store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption). Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)
Page 20
Features The TPM is activated via the BIOS system, see the "D3144 BIOS Setup Utility for RX900 S2" manual. CAUTION! – When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the third party manufacturers. – You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow the third party manufacturer's instructions.
DDR channels and two DIMM memory modules are connected to each channel. The DIMM slot number is defined as 2 characters: First digit ("1" or "2") ● Sequence number within the same DDR3 channel Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)

CPUs not included in this configuration are set to "disabled". As soon as the removed CPU has been reinstalled, the system enables all those disabled CPUs that are needed to form the next supported configuration. Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)

QPI scenarios depending on the position of the CPU that has been removed. Configurations with one to three CPUs are not to be understood as minimum configurations. They may occur due to the removal of CPUMEMRs. Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)
Page 29
In a 6 or 8 CPUMEMR configuration, memory mirroring is configured between pairs of CPUMEMRs. Figure 6 shows the CPUMEMR mirroring pairs (1,2), (3,4), (5,6), (7,8) where each pair consists of a green and a light grey CPUMEMR. Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)

BIOS boots without mirroring configuration. 3. If the active DIMM memory modules form a valid mirroring configuration, the BIOS keeps mirroring configuration with the remaining DIMM memory modules. Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)
Data is distributed over these two sections for better performance. As hemisphere mode is used for configurations with more than 4 CPUs, an even number of CPUs is necessary to configure memory-mirroring. Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)

I/O space requirements where "x" indicates that I/O space is required. Please note that I/O space assignment is only needed if Legacy LAN Boot(PXE, iSCSI) and an LSI SAS/SAS_RAID card is used. Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)
Auto and Disabled can be selected in the BIOS setup menu to assign I/O space for onboard devices and for PCIe slots including slot #8 for the Modular RAID controller. Auto is set for all onboard devices and PCIe slots by default. Technical Manual D3144, D3145, D3146 (RX900 S2)
