Notes:

  • DDR2 ECC DIMMs, combined with an integrated ECC memory controller, correct many soft and hard single bit memory errors, and minimize disruption of service to LAN clients. DDR2 memory stands for double data rate, which means you get 2x data in the same clock cycle. Actual data transfer is at 333 MHz.
  • ECC memory to detect double-bit errors and correct single-bit errors.
  • Chipkill distributes information covered by error correction coding across separate memory chips so if any of the chips fail, the data can still be reconstructed from the remaining chips and the system can continue running.
  • AMF Advanced memory protection features let you write to two branches of memory in real time for 100% redundancy.
  • Increased processor performance coupled with DDR memory enables you to retrieve and process information faster and more efficiently. DDR memory executes twice the number of operations per cycle than traditional SDRAM memory, effectively doubling the data exchange rate between memory and processors.
  • Memory mirroring requires an exact match between the DIMM types and sizes on both memory buses. Memory-mirroring effectively reduces available memory by half.
  • System will support 32 GB of memory with the 4 GB memory DIMMs installed (when available).
