    Viewing Memory Properties

    Procedure
      Step 1   In the Navigation pane, click the Server tab.
      Step 2   On the Server tab, click Inventory.
      Step 3   In the Inventory pane, click the Memory tab.
      Step 4   In the Memory Summary area, review the following summary information about memory:
      Name Description

      Memory Speed field

      The memory speed, in megahertz.

      Failed Memory field

      The amount of memory that is currently failing, in megabytes.

      Total Memory field

      The total amount of memory available on the server if all DIMMs are fully functional.

      Ignored Memory field

      The amount of memory currently not available for use, in megabytes.

      Effective Memory field

      The actual amount of memory currently available to the server.

      Number of Ignored DIMMs field

      The number of DIMMs that the server cannot access.

      Redundant Memory field

      The amount of memory used for redundant storage.

      Number of Failed DIMMs field

      The number of DIMMs that have failed and cannot be used.

      Memory RAS Possible field

      Details about what memory configuration the server supports. This can be one of the following:

      • Memory configuration can support mirroring
      • Memory configuration can support sparing
      • Memory configuration can support either mirroring or sparing
      • Memory configuration cannot support RAS

      Memory Configuration field

      The current memory configuration. This can be one of the following:

      • Maximum Performance—The system automatically optimizes the memory performance.
      • Mirroring—The server maintains two identical copies of the data in memory. This option effectively halves the available memory on the server, as one half is automatically reserved for mirrored copy.
      • Sparing—The system reserves some memory for use in the event a DIMM fails. If that happens, the server takes the DIMM offline and replaces it with the reserved memory. This option provides less redundancy than mirroring, but it leaves more of the memory available for programs running on the server.
      Step 5   In the Memory Details table, review the following detailed information about each DIMM:
