IT administrators cannot generally run error correction modes simultaneously. For example, HP Memory Quarantine is not active when the system is configured for memory mirroring mode or for online memory sparing. IT Administrators must choose the most appropriate memory correction mode with the ROM-based Setup Utility (RBSU) of the server platform. 6
