Using the Redundant Memory Feature
The NAS system's redundant memory feature (also known as "memory spare row") allows the system to identify a row of
faulty RAM and to hot-swap the faulty memory with a reserved row of memory. The chip set reports a faulty row when the
threshold of single-bit ECC errors in a single bank is exceeded. When a faulty row is reported, the system copies the faulty
row to the spare row and then configures it for access.
System Requirements
To use the redundant memory feature, your NAS system must meet the following requirements:
All three banks of system memory must use the same type of DIMM.
The system must be operating in memory-interleaved mode.
Considerations for Using Redundant Memory
When the redundant memory feature is enabled, only two-thirds of the installed memory is available to the system.
The redundant memory feature is supported on a per-bank basis. The smallest unit of redundant memory is a bank.
The spare bank can be used only once per boot. After a bank is swapped, the system has no more redundant memory
until it is reset.
