ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. ECC Memory Setup Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Netfinity* ECC Memory Setup enables a user to monitor and manage ECC
memory. User-selectable options are:
o Single-Bit Error Scrubbing
o Single-Bit Error Counting
o Single-Bit Error Threshold Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI)
You can also set the single-bit error threshold value that will trigger the
NMI if the Single-Bit Error Threshold option is selected.
For detailed instructions on configuring ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Single-Bit Error Scrubbing ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Activating the Single-Bit Error Scrubbing option instructs ECC Memory Setup to
activate the automatic error correction features of the ECC memory in the
system. This will immediately correct any single-bit errors that occur.
Selecting this option may cause a slight performance impact on some systems,
but ensures greater data integrity. Check your system documentation for more
information.
For detailed instructions on configuring ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Single-Bit Error Counting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Activating the Single-Bit Error Counting option instructs ECC Memory Setup to
keep a running count of all single-bit errors that occur in the ECC memory.
For detailed instructions on configuring ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Single-Bit Error Threshold NMI ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Activating the Single-Bit Error Threshold NMI option instructs ECC Memory Setup
to cause a Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) if the number of single-bit errors
exceeds the user-specified threshold. An NMI will often cause the system to
immediately shutdown, so this feature should only be enabled if the system
contains special NMI handling hardware or software.
For detailed instructions on configuring ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Single-Bit Error Count ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Single-Bit Error Count field displays the number of single-bit errors that
have been detected by ECC Memory Setup during the current session.
Note: The single-bit error count is for the current session ONLY. The count
is reset to zero upon restart. If you wish to carry a count over from a
previous session, you must enter the error count manually from the
configuration screen.
For detailed instructions on configuring ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Single-Bit Error Threshold ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Single-Bit Error Threshold field displays the user-specified number of ECC
single-bit errors that will be allowed before ECC Memory Setup will trigger a
Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI). If the NMI feature is not active, the Single-Bit
Error Count will be reset to zero when the threshold is reached.
Note: An NMI only occurs if you activate the Single-Bit Threshold NMI option.
For detailed instructions on configuring the ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Address of Last Error ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Address of Last Error value is the specific memory address where the most
recent single-bit ECC memory error occurred.
For detailed instructions on configuring the ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Save Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Save button saves the current ECC Memory Setup configuration. This
configuration includes selected options and the NMI threshold value.
For detailed instructions on configuring the ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Reset Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Reset button discards all changes made in the configuration of ECC Memory
Setup since the previous save.
For detailed instructions on configuring the ECC Memory Setup, see the
Configuration Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Exit Button ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select the Exit button to exit ECC Memory Setup.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. Configuration Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To configure ECC Memory Setup:
1. Select the actions that you wish ECC Memory Setup to perform. Available
options are:
o Single-Bit Error Scrubbing
o Single-Bit Error Counting
o Single-Bit Error Threshold NMI
2. Change the Single-Bit Error Count, if desired.
3. If you have chosen the Single-Bit Error Threshold NMI option, set a
Single-Bit Error Threshold value.
4. When you are satisfied with the selections you have made, click on the
Save button.
All functions of ECC Memory Setup may also be accessed from your OS/2* command
line. For more information, see the Command Line Help topic.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Command Line Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The command line format for ECCMEM.EXE is:
ECCMEM < /INIT > < /SCRUB:<ON OFF> > < /THRESH:<ON OFF> > < /COUNT:<ON OFF> > <
/QUIET > < /COUNTVAL:num > < /THRESHVAL:num >
where:
/INIT - Causes the ECC memory to be initialized to the saved settings
/QUIET - Causes ECCMEM to generate no textual output
*/SCRUB:<ON OFF> - Enables or disables single-bit error scrubbing
*/COUNT:<ON OFF> - Enables or disables single-bit error counting
*/THRESH:<ON OFF> - Enables or disables single-bit error threshold NMI
/COUNTVAL:num - Sets the single-bit error count to a given value
*/THRESHVAL:num - Sets the single-bit error threshold to a given value
* = This option updates the saved settings to the value provided. Upon
restarting the system, the saved settings can be used to configure the ECC
memory through the /INIT option.
