Advanced Memory Protection is designed to maintain server availability and memory reliability without service interruption.  Advanced 

Memory Protection consists of a variety of memory protection alternatives, such as Online Spare Memory and Memory Mirroring.   These 

memory configurations provide additional fault tolerance by configuring extra system memory for a fail-over scenario.  Each of these options 
can be configured in ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) by pressing F9 at POST.  Within RBSU, select Advanced Memory Protection from the 

Main Menu.  For additional information on Advanced Memory Protection, go to 

 

 

It is recommended that a full memory test be run when installing new memory options.  There is a feature called ROM Post Speed-Up in RBSU 

that allows the system ROM to do a complete memory test.  When disabled, ROM Post Speed-Up increases the time it takes a system to boot 
by performing a complete memory test.   This feature is enabled by default to provide a shorter boot time. 

 

To run a complete memory test, first install all memory options in the system.  The power on the system and enter RBSU by pressing F9 at 
POST.  Under Advanced Options, disable ROM Post Speed-Up option and exit RBSU.   After the system has completed POST and checked all 

system memory, enter RBSU again by pressing F9 and enable ROM Post speed-up if a faster boot time is desired.  Save and exit RBSU. 

 

Interleaved memory is automatically invoked when DIMMs are populated in identical pairs. Some systems support both interleaved memory 

and non-interleaved memory based on how the memory is configured.   To  invoke  interleaving  on  a  system  with  a  standard  memory 

configuration of 256MB non-interleaved (1x256MB), install an identical 256MB DIMM in DIMM socket 2 and interleaving will automatically 
invoke when the system is powered on.  If additional memory is desired install a pair of identical DIMMs (of any density) in DIMM sockets 3 

and 4.
