To maintain optimum system operation in the event of a memory failure, you can set the Memory Configuration for memory Mirroring or Sparing. Memory mirroring stores duplicate data on two DIMMs to prevent data loss if a DIMM fails. Memory sparing removes the failed memory from the system configuration and activates a Hot Spare Memory pair of DIMMs to replace the failed memory pair of DIMMs. Before you can enable the memory mirroring or sparing, at least two pairs of DIMMs must be installed in the blade server that adhere to the special requirements described in "Installing Memory Modules" on page 22. Set the Memory Configuration to Flat to disable memory mirroring and sparing. Note: Memory mirroring is available only when an optional Intel® Blade Server Memory and I/O Expansion Blade is installed on the blade server. - CPU Options Select this choice to disable the microprocessor cache or to set the microprocessor cache to use the write-back or the write-through method. Write-back caching generally provides better system performance. You can also select this choice to enable or disable hyper-threading and adjust microprocessor performance settings. If enabled, hyper-threading will only be active if it is supported by your operating system. - PCI Bus Control Select this choice to view and set interrupts for PCI devices and to configure the master-latency-timer value for the blade server. - Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) Settings Select this choice to enable or disable the Reboot on System NMI option on the menu. If you enable this option, the blade server will automatically restart 60 seconds after the service processor issues a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) to the blade server. You can also select this choice to enable or disable and set the timeouts for the POST and OS loader watchdog timers and view BMC version information. -- BMC Network Configuration Select this choice to set the network addresses of the BMC. -- BMC System Event Log Select this choice to view and clear BMC event log entries. • Save Settings Select this choice to save the changes you have made in the settings. • Restore Settings Select this choice to cancel the changes you have made in the settings and restore the previous settings. • Load Default Settings Select this choice to cancel the changes you have made in the settings and restore the factory settings. • Exit Setup 60 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User's Guide
