10
RW
0
CHANNEL2_ACTIVE. When set, indicates MC channel 2 is active. This bit is 
controlled (set/reset) by software only. This bit is required to be set for any 
active channel when INIT_DONE is set by software.
9
RW
0
CHANNEL1_ACTIVE. When set, indicates MC channel 1 is active. This bit is 
controlled (set/reset) by software only. This bit is required to be set for any 
active channel when INIT_DONE is set by software. Channel 0 AND Channel 
1 active must both be set for a lockstep or mirrored pair.
8
RW
0
CHANNEL0_ACTIVE. When set, indicate MC channel 0 is active. This bit is 
controlled (set/reset) by software only. This bit is required to be set for any 
active channel when INIT_DONE is set by software. Channel 0 AND Channel 
1 active must both be set for a lockstep or mirrored pair.
7
WO
0
INIT_DONE. MC initialize complete signal. Setting this bit will exit the 
training mode of the Integrated Memory Controller and begin normal 
operation including all enabled maintenance operations. Any 
CHANNNEL_ACTIVE bits not set when writing a 1 to INIT_DONE will cause 
the corresponding channel to be disabled.
6
RW
0
DIVBY3EN. Divide By 3 enable. When set, MAD would use the longer 
pipeline for transactions that are 3 or 6 way interleaved and shorter pipeline 
for all other transactions. The SAG registers must be appropriately 
programmed as well.
5
RW
0
CHANNELRESET2. Reset only the state within the channel. Equivalent to 
pulling warm reset for that channel.
4
RW
0
CHANNELRESET1. Reset only the state within the channel. Equivalent to 
pulling warm reset for that channel.
3
RW
0
CHANNELRESET0. Reset only the state within the channel. Equivalent to 
pulling warm reset for that channel.
2
RW
0
AUTOPRECHARGE. Autoprecharge enable. This bit should be set with the 
closed page bit. If it is not set with closed page, address decode will be done 
without setting the autoprecharge bit.
1
RW
0
ECCEN. ECC Checking enables. When this bit is set in lockstep mode the ECC 
checking is for the x8 SDDC. ECCEN without Lockstep enables the x4 SDDC 
ECC checking.
0
RW
0
CLOSED_PAGE. When set, the MC supports a Closed Page policy. The 
default is Open Page but BIOS should always configure this bit.
