Description

Memory Throttling Mode

Enables or disables the memory to run in closed-loop

(Enabled default)

thermal throttling mode.

Memory Operating Mode

Select the type of memory operation if a valid memory

(Optimizer Mode default)

configuration is installed.

 

• Optimizer Mode: The two memory controllers run in

 

parallel 64-bit mode for improved memory

 

performance.

 

• Spare Mode: Enables memory sparing

 

• Mirror Mode: Enables memory mirroring

 

• Advanced ECC Mode: Controllers are joined in

 

128-bit mode running multi-bit advanced ECC.

Demand Scrubbing

Enables or disables DRAM scrubbing.

(Enabled default)

DRAM scrubbing is the ability to write corrected data

 

 

back to the memory once a correctable error is detected

 

on read transaction.

Patrol Scrubbing

Enables or disables patrol scrubbing.

(Enabled default)

Patrol scrubbing proactively searches the system

 

 

memory, repairing correctable errors.

Memory Operating Voltage

If set to Auto, the system sets the voltage to an optimal

(Auto default)

value based on the capacity of the installed memory

 

modules. You can also set the voltage of the memory

 

module to a higher value (1.5 V) provided that the

 

modules support multiple voltages. Options are [Auto],

 

[1.5 volts], and [1.35 volts].

 

NOTE: BIOS will auto restrict selection if DIMM is not

 

supporting low voltage.

NUMA Support

Enables or disables Non-Uniform Memory Access

(Enabled default)

(NUMA) support to improve processor performance.

 

NOTE: This option is available for NUMA systems that

 

allow memory interleaving across all processor nodes.

Memory Mapped I/O

Select the base address register for the PCIe memory

(Auto default)

space. Options are [Auto], [32-bit], and [64-bit].

Memory Refresh Rate

Enables or disables the 2X memory refresh rate.

(X1 default)
