This mode can be used by an operating system that supports the feature to load critical
applications or enables the operating system kernel to maximize system availability.
NOTE:
Only Optimizer Mode should be selected when Intel DC Optane Persistent Memory is
installed.
Current State of
Memory Operating
Mode
Specifies the current state of the memory operating mode.
Node Interleaving
Specifies if Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) is supported. If this field is set to
Enabled
, memory
interleaving is supported if a symmetric memory configuration is installed. If this field is set to
Disabled
, the
system supports NUMA (asymmetric) memory configurations. This option is set to
Disabled
by default.
ADDDC Setting
Enables or disables
ADDDC Setting
feature. When Adaptive Double DRAM Device Correction (ADDDC) is
enabled, failing DRAMs are dynamically mapped out. When set to
Enabled
it can have some impact to system
performance under certain workloads. This feature is applicable for x4 DIMMs only. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
Opportunistic
Self-Refresh
Enables or disables opportunistic self-refresh feature. This option is set to
Disabled
by default and is not
supported when DCPMMs are in the system.
Correctable Error
logging
Enables or disables logging of correctable memory threshold error. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
Persistent
Memory
This field controls Persistent Memory on the system. This option is only available if the persistent memory module
is installed in the system.
