5.2.10 Verifying the memory mode
If a memory module fails, the server blade will reboot and the defective module
will be disabled. As a result, the current operation mode (e.g. Mirrored Channel
mode) may no longer be available due to a lack of identical memory module
pairs. In this case, the operation mode will automatically revert to Independent
Channel Mode.
