Gather remaining SPD data
Program registers on the memory controller level
Evaluate RAS modes and save rank information
Program registers on the channel level

Hardware memory test and init
Execute software memory init
Program memory map and interleaving
Program RAS configuration
Memory Initialization at the beginning of POST includes multiple functions, including: discovery,
channel training, validation that DIMM population is acceptable and functional, initialization of
the IMC and other hardware settings, and initialization of applicable RAS configurations.
When a major memory initialization error occurs and prevents the system from booting with data
integrity, a beep code is generated, the MRC will display a fatal error code on the diagnostic
LEDs, and a system halt command is executed. Fatal MRC error halts do NOT change the state
of the System Status LED, and do NOT get logged as SEL events. The following table lists all
MRC fatal errors that are displayed to the Diagnostic LEDs.
