Independent mode:

• Also known as performance mode, each DDR channel is addressed individually via burst lengths of 8 bytes. • All CPUs support SECDED ECC with x8 DRAMs. • All CPUs support SDDC with x4 DRAMs.

Lockstep mode:

• Also known as RAS mode, each pair of channels shares a Write Push Logic unit to enable lockstep. - Channels are paired together as a domain. For CPU1, channels A and B, and channels C and D. For CPU2, channels E and F, and channels G and H. - All CPUs support SDDC with x4 or x8 DRAMs.

Memory RAS mode:

• RAS mode that require matching populations. • Same slot position across channels must hold the same DIMM type (ranks, banks, rows and column)

Intra-Socket Memory Mirroring mode:

- For mirroring mode, the memory image in channel A is maintained the same as channel C and channel B is maintained the same as channel D. Therefore, the effective size of memory is reduced by one-half.

- The DIMM configuration in mirrored channels must be identical. Channel A & channel C with identical DIMMs and also channel B & channel D with identical DIMMs. The DIMM type, size, manufacturer should be the same.

Rank Sparing mode:

- An unused spare rank is reserved on each channel. The spare rank is used to copy the contents of a failing rank on the channel to keep a system working when a rank starts to fail. The reserved rank is not able to be used before the other rank fail.

Memory Identification

Generally, there are some memory information printed on the label of DIMM, but different vendor may have different format. For example:

4 GB 2R×4 PC4-14900R xx xx xxx

1. Density

■ 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB

1. Rank

■ 1R = Single Rank ■ 2R = Dual Rank ■ 4R = Quad Rank

1. Bit Organization

■ This platform supports ×4 and ×8 Note: It's not recommend to mix DIMM with different bit organization in one system
