DIMM. DIMMs that are likely to receive a fatal/uncorrectable memory error are removed from operation automatically, resulting in less system downtime. See the server-specific user guide for DIMM population requirements. • Mirrored Memory Mode-Provides protection against uncorrectable memory errors that would otherwise result in system failure. In this mode, the system maintains two copies of all data. If an uncorrectable memory error occurs, the system automatically retrieves the good data from the mirrored copy. The system continues to operate normally without any user intervention. If the system supports hot-plug memory, the failed memory can be replaced while the system continues to operate. • RAID Memory Mode-Provides protection levels similar to Mirrored Memory Mode, and it requires less memory allocation than full redundancy. Embedded SATA RAID HP provides the SATA RAID feature through use of the HP Storage Manager. This feature enables RAID functionality (RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 10) for the embedded SATA controller in the system. Required hardware Installing the SATA RAID driver may require a diskette drive and CD-ROM drive. Some server blades do not ship with these drives as standard hardware. NOTE: Systems with Microsoft® Windows Server™ 2003 and HP embedded drivers do not require additional hardware.
