Figure 7-5: DIMM-Bank Options Properties Dialog

Figure 7-5shows the dialog for configuring DIMM-bank options.

The PDL Error Simulation Control section specifies the type of error that the DIMM device will generate, when a memory read is attempted and when a Northbridge PDL is set outside the valid response range. These settings apply to all four simulated DIMMs.

If Enable PDL Error Simulation is selected, then the DIMM device monitors PDL settings for all RAM reads. The 0xFF option specifies that the return data should be forced to all ones. The Invert option specifies that the return data should be a bitwise inversion of the valid data.

The SMB Base Address entry selects the 8-bit address that this DIMM device responds to. The SMB address is used for the reading of DIMM SPD data
