Note: On the Server Board SE7520JR2, when using all dual rank DDR-333 or DDR2-400 
DIMMs, a total of four DIMMs can be populated. Configuring more than four dual rank DDR-
333 or DDR2-400 DIMMs will result in the BIOS generating a memory configuration error. 
 
Note: Memory between 4GB and 4GB minus 512MB will not be accessible for use by the 
operating system and may be lost to the user, because this area is reserved for BIOS, APIC 
configuration space, PCI adapter interface, and virtual video memory space. This means that if 
4GB of memory is installed, 3.5GB of this memory is usable. The chipset should allow the 
remapping of unused memory above the 4GB address, but this memory may not be accessible to 
an operating system that has a 4GB memory limit. 
 
3.3.3 
ECC Memory Initialization 
ECC memory must be initialized by the BIOS before it can be used. The BIOS must initialize all 
memory locations before using them. The BIOS uses the auto-initialize feature of the MCH to 
initialize ECC. ECC memory initialization cannot be aborted and may result in a noticeable delay 
in the boot process depending on the amount of memory installed in the system. 
3.3.4 Memory 
Test 
System memory is classified as base and extended memory.  Base memory is memory that is 
required for POST.  Extended memory is the remaining memory in the system.  Extended 
memory may be contiguous or may have one or more holes.  The BIOS memory test accesses 
all memory except for memory holes. 
Memory testing consists of separate base and extended memory tests.  The base memory test 
runs before video is initialized to verify memory required for POST.  The BIOS enables video as 
early as possible during POST to provide a visual indication that the system is functional.  At 
some time after video output has been enabled, BIOS executes the extended memory test.  The
