Memory Mirroring Support

The system supports memory mirroring if 16 identical memory modules are installed in the system. Mirroring must be enabled in the System Setup program and can be used only if memory sparing is not enabled. In a mirrored configuration, the total available system memory is one-half of the total installed memory.
