On-Line Spare
On-line spare is a RAS mechanism that allows the system to reserve one rank of one logical DIMM to e
used as a spare rank. The spare rank must e greater than or equal to the size of all other ranks in the
system. The system can switch to the spare rank when system software determines that one of the ranks in
the system is no longer functioning properly and needs to e replaced.
emory Identification
Generally, there are some memory information printed on the la el of DIMM, ut different vendor may have
different format. For example:
4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R xx xx xxx
1. Density
 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB
2. Rank
 1R = Single Rank
 2R = Dual Rank
 4R = Quad Rank
 Note: if any quad rank DIMM is used, maximum only 2 DIMM per channel can e supported
3. Bit Organization
 This platform supports x4 and x8
 Note: It’s not recommend to mix DIMM with different it organization in one system
4. Speed
 PC3 – 6400 => DDR3- 800
 PC3 – 8500 => DDR3- 1066
 PC3 – 10600 => DDR3- 1333
