Name

Description

Select Memory RAS

How the memory reliability, availability, and serviceability

 

(RAS) is configured for the server. This can be one of the

 

following:

 

System performance is optimized.

 

MirroringSystem reliability is optimized by using half

 

 

the system memory as backup.

 

SparingThe system reserves some memory for use in

 

 

the event a DIMM fails. If that happens, the server takes

 

 

the DIMM offline and replaces it with the reserved

 

 

memory. This option provides less redundancy than

 

 

mirroring, but it leaves more of the memory available for

 

 

programs running on the server.

NUMA Optimized

Whether the BIOS supports NUMA. This can be one of the

 

following:

DisabledThe BIOS does not support NUMA.

EnabledThe BIOS includes the ACPI tables that are required for NUMA-aware operating systems. If you enable this option, the system must disable Inter-Socket Memory interleaving on some platforms.
