2.3.3. Memory.mirroring.and.sparing.technology
The Intel ® 5000P chipset supports the memory mirroring and sparing technology.
Refer to the below sections:
Memory.Mirroring:
When enabling memory mirroring function in the BIOS setting (please refer the
section 5.4.2 Chipset Configuration and configure the option.Memory.Branch.
Mode.as.[Mirror]), Branch 1 contains a replicate copy of the data in Branch 0. The
DIMMs must cover the same slot position on both branches. DIMMs that cover a
slot position must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization. DIMMs
within a slot position must match each other, but aren’t required to match adjacent
slot positions.
And the total memories size will be the half of all installed memories.
