Use this window to view information for a particular memory device.
Status |
Normal, prefailure,
or failure performance of the connector or slot for a memory module. |
Device Name |
The alphanumeric text
that uniquely identifies each memory slot, whether occupied or unoccupied. |
Size |
Capacity of the memory
slot expressed in MB or GB. |
Type |
Synchronous dynamic
random access memory (SDRAM) chip sets operate fast enough to synchronize with the
CPU clock, eliminating wait states. The SDRAM chip set has two cell
blocks, allowing more efficient data access. In dynamic random access memory (DRAM) each bit
of storage is built from a single transistor and capacitor, allowing more memory bits to
fit in the same chip area. However, DRAM has to be refreshed because the charge on the
capacitor, which represents the stored bit value, decays with time. During a refresh, the
memory module must read every bit and write it back at full strength. |
Speed |
The rate, in
nanoseconds, at which the memory module can read the second and all contiguous characters
in a data word. The standard rate for SDRAM is 10ns. |
Failures |
If the value is other
than None, one or more of the following strings is displayed:
- Single bit warning error rate exceeded
- Single bit failure error rate exceeded
- Multi bit error encountered
- Single bit error login disabled
- DIMM disabled by way of spare memory activation
