Memory Options
menu appears.
For details about the options, see the table below.
Option
Parameter Description
Advanced Memory
Protection
Fast Fault Tolerant (ADDDC)
[Advanced ECC Support]
Online Spare with Advnced ECC
Support
Mirrored Memory with Advanced
ECC Support
Use this option to configure additional memory
protection with ECC (Error Checking and
Correcting). Options and support vary per
system.
Advanced ECC keeps all installed
memory available for use while still protecting the
system against all single-bit failures and certain
multi-bit failures.
Online Spare Memory enables a
system to automatically map out a group of
memory that is detected to be at an increased risk
of receiving uncorrected memory errors based on
an advanced analysis of corrected memory errors.
The mapped out memory is automatically replaced
by a spare group of memory without interrupting the
system.
Mirrored Memory provides the maximum
protection against uncorrected memory errors that
might otherwise result in a system failure.
Fault
Tolerant Advanced Double Device Data Correction
(ADDDC) enables the system to correct memory
errors and continue to operate in cases of multiple
DRAM device failures on a DIMM. This provides
protection against uncorrectable memory errors
beyond what is available with Advanced ECC.
Memory Refresh Rate
[1x Refresh]
2x Refresh
This option controls the refresh rate of the memory
controller and might affect the performance and
resiliency of the server memory. It is recommended
that you leave this setting in the default state unless
indicated in other documentation for this server.
Channel Interleaving
[Enabled]
Disabled
You can only configure this option if the Workload
Profile is set to Custom. Use this option to modify
the level of interleaving for which the memory
system is configured. Typically, higher levels of
memory interleaving result in maximum
performance. However, reducing the level of
interleaving can result in power savings.
Maximum Memory Bus
Frequency
[Auto]
2667 MHz
2400MHz
2133 MHz
1867 MHz
You can only configure this option if the Workload
Profile is set to Custom. Use this option to
configure the memory system to run memory at a
lower maximum speed than that supported by the
installed processor and DIMM configuration.
Setting this option to Auto configures the system to
run memory at the maximum speed supported.
Memory Patrol
Scrubbing
[Enabled]
Disabled
This option corrects memory soft errors so that,
over the length of the system runtime, the risk of
producing multi-bit and uncorrectable errors is
reduced.
