CONFIGURING the SERVER Select DIMMs and Memory Mirroring Select the memory configuration and whether or not you want the memory mirroring option. The available memory DIMMs and mirroring option are listed in Table 4. NOTE: When memory mirroring is enabled, the memory subsystem simultaneously writes identical data to two channels. If a memory read from one of the channels returns incorrect data due to an uncorrectable memory error, the system automatically retrieves the data from the other c
