Table 33. Setup Utility — Memory Configuration Screen Fields
Setup Item Options Help Text Comments
Total Memory
Information only. The amount of memory
available in the system in the form of
installed FBDIMMs, in units of MB or GB.
Effective Memory
Information only. The amount of memory
effective in MB or GB.
The Effective Memory is the difference
between Total Physical Memory and the
sum of all memory reserved for internal
usage, RAS redundancy and SMRAM.
This difference includes the sum of all
FBDIMMs that failed Memory BIST during
POST, or were disabled by the BIOS
during memory discovery phase in order to
optimize memory configuration.
Current Configuration
Information only. Displays one of the
following:
Maximum Performance Mode: System
memory is configured for optimal
performance and efficiency and no RAS is
enabled.
Single-Channel Mode: System memory is
functioning in a special, reduced efficiency
mode.
Current Memory
Speed
Information only. Displays speed the
memory is running at.
Memory RAS and
Performance
Configuration
Configure memory RAS
(Reliability, Availability,
and Serviceability) and
view current memory
performance information
and settings.
Select to configure the memory RAS and
performance. This takes the user to a
different screen.
DIMM_# Displays the state of each DIMM socket
present on the board. Each DIMM socket
field reflects one of the following possible
states:
Installed: There is a FBDIMM installed in
this slot.
Not Installed: There is no FBDIMM
installed in this slot.
Disabled: The FBDIMM installed in this
slot has been disabled by the BIOS in
order to optimize memory configuration.
Failed: The FBDIMM installed in this slot is
faulty/malfunctioning.
Spare Unit: The FBDIMM is functioning as
a spare unit for memory RAS purposes.
