Memory configurations
To optimize server availability, the server supports the following AMP modes:
• Advanced ECC—Provides up to 4-bit error correction. This mode is the default option for this server.
• Online spare memory—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is
reserved as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a DIMM
that is degrading. This allows DIMMs that have a higher probability of receiving an uncorrectable
memory error (which would result in system downtime) to be removed from operation.
• Mirrored memory—Provides maximum protection against failed DIMMs. Uncorrectable errors in one
channel are corrected by the mirror channel.
Advanced Memory Protection options are configured in the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU). If the
requested AMP mode is not supported by the installed DIMM configuration, the server boots in Advanced
