Memory protection modes
To optimize server availability, the server supports the following AMP modes:
•
Advanced ECC—Provides up to 4-bit error correction and enhanced performance over Lockstep
memory mode. This mode is the default option for the server.
•
Online Spare Memory—Provides protection against failing or degraded DIMMs. Certain memory is
reserved as spare, and automatic failover to spare memory occurs when the system detects a DIMM that
