BIOS Parameters by Server Model

Advanced BIOS Parameters for C22 and C24 Servers

Name

Description

Patrol Scrub

Whether the system actively searches for, and corrects, single

 

bit memory errors even in unused portions of the memory on

 

the server. This can be one of the following:

 

DisabledThe system checks for memory ECC errors

 

only when the CPU reads or writes a memory address.

 

EnabledThe system periodically reads and writes

 

memory searching for ECC errors. If any errors are found,

 

the system attempts to fix them. This option may correct

 

single bit errors before they become multi-bit errors, but

 

it may adversely affect performance when the patrol scrub

 

is running.

Demand Scrub

Whether the system corrects single bit memory errors

 

encountered when the CPU or I/O makes a demand read. This

 

can be one of the following:

 

DisabledSingle bit memory errors are not corrected.

 

EnabledSingle bit memory errors are corrected in

 

memory and the corrected data is set in response to the

 

demand read.

Altitude

The approximate number of meters above sea level at which the

 

physical server is installed. This can be one of the following:

 

AutoThe CPU determines the physical elevation.

 

The server is approximately 300 meters above sea level.

 

The server is approximately 900 meters above sea level.

 

The server is approximately 1500 meters above sea

 

level.

 

The server is approximately 3000 meters above sea

 

level.
