Mixing of Registered and Unbuffered DIMMs is not allowed per platform.
Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS 3.2.4.3 Product Architecture Overview Publishing System Memory The BIOS displays the “Total Memory” of the system during POST if Quiet Boot is disabled in BIOS setup. This is the total size of memory discovered by the BIOS during POST, and is the sum of the individual sizes of installed DDR3 DIMMs in the system. The BIOS displays the “Effective Memory” of the system in the BIOS setup.
Product Architecture Overview 3.2.4.4.3 Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS Mirror Mode Memory mirroring mode is the mechanism by which a component of memory is mirrored. In mirrored mode, when a write is performed to one copy, a write is generated to the target location as well. This guarantees that the target is always updated with the latest data from the main copy. The iMC module supports mirroring across the corresponding mirroring channel within the processor socket but not across sockets.
Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS Product Architecture Overview The system BIOS has logic to cope with the random factor in correctable ECC errors. Rather than reporting every correctable error that occurs, the BIOS has a threshold and only logs a correctable error when a threshold value is reached. Additional correctable errors that occur after the threshold has been reached are disregarded.
Product Architecture Overview Intel® Server Board S2600GZ/GL TPS An SFO Event is logged to the BMC SEL. The failing rank is then disabled, and any further Correctable Errors on that now non-redundant channel will be disregarded. The correctable error that triggered the SFO may be logged to the BMC SEL, if it was the first one to occur in the system. That first correctable error event will be the only one logged for the system.
