In a mirrored system, the maximum usable memory is one-half of the installed memory, with a minimum of four DIMMs installed. Since the data is duplicated across DIMMs, it means that up to one-half of the installed DIMMs are actively in use at any one time. The remaining DIMMs are used for mirroring.

Memory mirroring and memory sparing are mutually exclusive. Only one can be active at a time. See the Intel® Server Board S5000VSA Technical Product Specification for additional information regarding the memory sub-system.

Power Supply

A minimum of 550 Watts is required. Your supply must provide a minimum of 3A of 5V standby current or the board will not boot.
