Degradation Feature
The degradation feature automatically isolates a failed DIMM or processor to assure
continuous operation of the server when the POST (Power On Self-Test, self-diagnosis
program after power on) detects such a DIMM or processor.
Note:
The degradation feature is only available when at least two
DIMMs or processors are installed.
Failed DIMMs and processors may be identified on the screen that the POST displays,
or with the BIOS setup utility of the server, "SETUP." They may also be identified on
the system that has the NEC ESMPRO installed.
Memory RAS Features
Your server board has memory mirroring and online spare memory features. For more
information see
“Using the Memory RAS Features” on page 161 .
