Mirroring mode

For mirroring mode, the memory contains a primary image and a
copy of the primary image. Therefore, the effective size of
memory is reduced by at least one-half.

Channels 3 has no function and cannot be populated in this mode.

Follow the population rules described in independent mode.

DIMM modules installed in channels 1 and 2 must be identical —
1A and 2A should be the same type, size and manufacturer.
1B and 2B memory should be the same type, size and
manufacturer. However, it is not necessary for slot A to have the
same memory module as slot B within a channel.

The same rule applies to processor 2.
