Memory Mirroring Feature
Memory Mirroring feature writes the same data into two groups of DIMMs corresponding with each other
between memory channels (channels 2 and 3) to provide data redundancy.
Note
•
Memory Mirroring feature uses channels 2 and 3. In Memory Mirroring configuration, the
memory channel 1 of each CPU (CPU1-DIMM1/4, CPU2-DIMM1/4) is disabled.
•
To use Memory Mirroring feature, install N8102-483/484/485 additional memory board
(two DIMMs of same model).
•
Any other memory board than N8102-483/484/485 cannot be installed together.
•
To use Memory Mirroring feature in 2-CPU configuration, install two sets of 483/484/485
additional memory board (four DIMMs of same model).
Example: 2-CPU configuration
Tips
The operating system only recognizes a half of the total physical capacity.
