Description
Increased memory reliability can be a result from this selectable platform profile that adjusts parameters to
reduce faults regarding refresh rates, speed, temperature, and voltage.
Demand scrubbing is the ability to write corrected data back to the memory once a correctable error is
detected on a read transaction. Patrol scrubbing proactively scans the system memory, detecting and repairing
correctable errors.
Single Device Data Correction provides error checking and correction that protects against any single memory
chip failure and multi-bit errors from any portion of a single memory chip.
This feature helps identify a specific failing DIMM channel pair, enabling the user to replace only the failed
DIMM pair.
Memory mirroring is a method of keeping a duplicate (secondary or mirrored) copy of the contents of memory
as a redundant backup for use if the primary intrasocket memory fails. The mirrored copy of the memory is
stored in memory of the same processor socket.
This feature helps detect transient errors on the address lines of the DDR channel.
Memory sparing allocates one rank per channel as a spare. If excessive correctable errors occur in a rank or
channel, they are moved to the spare area while the operating system is running to prevent the errors from
causing an uncorrectable failure.
This feature helps to optimize power/performance and can also be used to prevent DIMMs from overheating.
