Enabling replaced components in the system BIOS

After replacing the defective component, it needs to be reenabled in the system board BIOS.

5.2.9

Verifying the memory mode

If a memory module fails, the server will reboot and the defective module will be disabled. As a result, the current operation mode (e.g. Mirrored Channel mode) may no longer be available due to a lack of identical memory module pairs. In this case, the operation mode will automatically revert to Independent Channel

Mode.

I

For detailed information on memory operation modes available for your server, refer to section

"Memory sequence" on page 264 .

After replacing the defective module(s) the memory operation mode is automatically reset to its original state. It is recommended to verify that the operation mode has been correctly.
