Lockstep
Allows the user to
select the memory RAS
Configuration to be
applied for the next
boot.
Available modes depend on the current memory
population. Modes which are not listed as
“possible” should not be available as choices. If
the only valid choice is “Maximum Performance”,
then this option should be grayed out and
unavailable.
Maximum Performance – (default) no RAS but
best memory utilization since full amount of
memory is available; operating in Independent
Channel Mode.
Mirroring - most reliability by using half of
memory as a mirror image; can survive an
Uncorrectable ECC Error.
Rank Sparing – offers reliability by reserving
spare ranks to replace failing ranks which are
generating excessive Correctable ECC Errors.
Lockstep – allows SDDC capability with x8
DIMMs installed. No memory size impact but
does have a performance and power penalty.
Note: Since only RAS Modes which are listed as
“possible” are available for selection, it is not
possible to select a RAS Mode without first
installing an appropriate DIMM configuration.
