XDIMM Configuration

Current Memory Mode

This item displays the current memory mode.

Current Memory Speed

This item displays the current memory speed.

Mirroring

This item displays if memory mirroring is supported by the motherboard.

Sparing

This item displays if memory sparing can be supported by the motherboard.

XDIMM Information

The status of the memory modules will be displayed as detected by the BIOS.

Memory Mode

When Independent is selected, all DIMMs are available to the operating system. When Mirroring is selected, the motherboard maintains two identical copies of all data in memory for data backup. When Lockstep is selected, the motherboard uses two areas of memory to run the same set of operations in parallel. The options are Independent, Mirroring, Lockstep and Sparing.

Spare Err Threshold (Available if Sparing is selected for Memory Mode)

This item allows the user to determing the amount of correctable ECC errors that can accumulate before an event log is recorded. The default setting is 15.

DRAM RAPL BWLIMIT

This item sets the limits on the average power consumption and the bandwidth of a DRAM module in operation so that the OS can manage power consumption and energy budget of hardware more effectively within a certain window of time. The options are 0, 1, 8, and 16
