 chipset supports the memory sparing technology. Refer to the 

below sections:

At configuration time, a DIMM rank is set aside to replace a defective DIMM rank. 

When the error rate for a failing DIMM rank reaches a pre-determined threshold, 

the memory sparing function will issue an interrupt and initiate a spare copy. At the 

completion of the copy, the failing DIMM rank is disabled and the “spared” DIMM 

rank will be used in its place. 

•  The DIMM rank with the largest size will be assigned as spare rank. Data 

can only be copied from a smaller sized rank to a larger sized one.

•  A DIMM can contain only one or two ranks. To support sparing function, a 

DIMM channel should contain at least two ranks.

•  When sparing function is enabled, the usable memory size will reduce then 

size of the spare ranks.
