          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 the 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 can support lockstep
          • 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, because 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.
          • Lockstep—The system uses two memory channels at a time and provides a higher level of protection. This option is most reliable, but it reduces the total memory capacity by one-third.
          Step 5   In the Memory Details table, review the following detailed information about each DIMM:
