v Mirrored channel mode: In mirrored channel mode, channels 2 is not used. The
memory contents on channel 0 are duplicated in channel 1. The effective
memory available to the system is only half of that installed. The maximum
available memory (with 16 GB dual-rank DIMMs) is 48 GB for a
single-microprocessor system and 96 GB for a dual-microprocessor system.
The following table shows the order that memory DIMMs are installed to use a
mirrored channel mode.
