Mirroring mode
In mirroring mode, each memory module in a pair must be identical in size and architecture. The channels are
grouped in pairs with each channel receiving the same data. One channel is used as a backup of the other,
which provides redundancy.
Note: All memory modules to be installed must be the same type with the same capacity, frequency,
voltage, and ranks.
The following table shows the memory module population sequence for mirroring mode when only one
processor (Processor 1) is installed.
