Memory sparing
Memory sparing is a feature whereby channel 2 of the memory controller in each CPU is designated
as a "spare" channel and the DIMMs (memories) that use that channel are put on standby so that
operations can be automatically switched to a standby DIMM if a correctable error occurs in one of
the DIMMs operating under the control of the memory controller, allowing processing to continue
unimpeded.
IMPORTANT:
„
The memory sparing feature is not supported by the N8100-1654F/1660F.
„
Additional memory sticks (N8102-371/372/373/374/375) are required to use the
memory sparing feature.
„
The capacity of the additional memory sticks must match the capacity of the other
memory sticks used in the server.
