Microsoft Management Console

Microsoft® Management Console (MMC) is an extensible common presentation service for management
applications. MMC unifies and simplifies day-to-day system management tasks. It hosts tools and displays
them as consoles. These tools, consisting of one or more applications, are built with modules called snap-ins.
The snap-ins also can include additional extension snap-ins. Microsoft Management Console enables system
administrators to create special tools to delegate specific administrative tasks to users or groups. Microsoft
provides standard tools with the operating system that perform everyday administrative tasks that users need
to accomplish.

Task Orientation

The tools being defined to work with MMC are task oriented in
nature—they cater to the task being performed rather than merely
displaying the raw objects that can be manipulated. Also, because
administrators can customize their own tools, using pieces from
various vendors, they can create tools that contain only the UI they
need to complete their tasks.

Integration

The UI for all the management tasks an administrator must
perform are collected into a single console. As new applications
are added to a computer or network, their administration is
integrated into the existing administration common console.

Customization of Consoles

Administrators can create custom consoles tailored to their
particular management needs. This is useful in enterprise
environments that divide administrator groups according to duties.
For example, you can create a custom console for software
installation and maintenance, another one for scripts

4

Acer AN1600 F1 Network Storage System Specifications

administrators, another one for security Group Policy, and so on.

Delegation

Administrators can easily modify existing tools to create new tools
with reduced functionality and less complex views of the tool
namespace, and then give these tools to others. A person who
receives such a tool is presented with a simpler, more manageable
view of the tasks they are being asked to perform.

Overall Interface
Simplification

All tools built for MMC, from Microsoft or third-party software
vendors, will have a similar appearance, making it easier for users
to use all tools after learning one. Because you can mix and match
tools from any vendor, you can use the best tool from each
management product category. MMC also enables a single piece
of software to provide functionality across the interface in a
consistent manner.

Extensibility

Developers can extend the base functionality of MMC snap-ins by
creating extension snap-ins. This allows software vendors to reuse
Microsoft tools without writing a lot of code. Various mechanisms
are available for extending snap-ins, including extending the
namespace, context menus, toolbars, Property pages, and
creating Wizard 97-style pages.

Memory Support Specification

Memory Population

The systems have twelve DIMM slots. Each CPU controls six slots. The DIMM slots support DDR3-1333
registered ECC memory modules.

 Each CPU has three memory channels (channel 1, 2 and 3)
 Each channel has 2 slots

The socket furthest from the CPU is socket A (P1DIMM1A, P1DIMM2A, P1DIMM3A in blue color), while
the nearest is socket B (P1DIMM1B, P1DIMM2B, P1DIMM3B in black). For all memory modes, socket A
in each channel needs to be populated first. If socket A is empty, socket B cannot be used. It is
recommended that the higher rank and largest capacity DIMM be installed in slot A.

For the system to function properly, DIMM modules must be installed following the slot sequence listed
below. DIMM modules of the same type, size and manufacturer must be installed in the same DIMM
colored slots.

 CPU 1 – populate DIMM slot P1DIMM1A first, followed by slots P1DIMM2A, P1DIMM3A, P1DIMM1B,

P1DIMM2B, P1DIMM3B.

 CPU 2 – populate DIMM slot P2DIMM1A first, followed by slots P2DIMM2A, P2DIMM3A, P2DIMM1B,

P2DIMM2B, P2DIMM3B.

Independent mode (please refer to the User Guide for more information)

 In this mode all memory is accessible and ECC protected

Single-processor configuration

Dual-processor configuration

Mirroring mode:

• In mirroring mode, the memory contains a primary image and a copy of the primary image therefore the
effective size of memory is reduced by one half.

• Channel 3 has no function in these modes.

• Follow the population rules described in independent mode.

• Mirroring mode needs the channel 1 & channel 2 DIMMs to be identical. DIMM slot populations within a

channel do not have to be identical but the same DIMM slot location across channel 1 and channel 2
must be the same. DIMM1A and DIMM2A should be the same type, size and manufacturer. DIMM1B
and DIMM2B memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer. DIMM1C and DIMM2C
memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer.

• Same rules apply to CPU2.

• Please refer to the User Guide for complete population rules for both single and dual processor

configurations.

Lockstep mode:

• In Lockstep Channel Mode, each memory access is 128-bit data access that spans Channel 1 and
Channel 2. This is done to support SDDC for DRAM devices with 8-bit wide data ports. The same
address is used on both channels such that an address error on any channel is detectable.

12

Acer AN1600 F1 Network Storage System Specifications

• Lockstep Channel mode is the only RAS mode that supports x8 SDDC.

• Channel 3 has no function in these modes.

• Follow the population rules described in independent mode.

• Lockstep mode needs the channel 1 & channel 2 DIMMs to be identical. DIMM slot populations within a

channel do not have to be identical but the same DIMM slot location across channel 1 and channel 2
must be the same. DIMM1A and DIMM2A should be the same type, size and manufacturer. DIMM1B
and DIMM2B memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer. DIMM1C and DIMM2C
memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer.

• Same rules apply to CPU2.

• Please refer to the User Guide for complete population rules for both single and dual processor

configurations.

Sparing mode:

• In sparing mode, if the system detects degrading memory, the data in the failed channel will be copied to

the spare channel. The failed channel is then isolated and the spare channel becomes active. Any
uncorrectable error detected before the isolation will cause the system to stop normal operation.

• Channel 3 is the spare channel. Therefore, the effective size will be reduced by one-third.

• Follow the population rules described in independent mode.

• Sparing mode needs all three channels to utilize identical DIMMs. 1A, 2A and 3A should be the same

type, size and manufacturer. 1B, 2B and 3B memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer.
1C, 2C and 3C memory should be the same type, size and manufacturer.

• Same rule is applied to CPU2.

• Please refer to the User Guide for complete population rules for both single and dual processor

configurations.

Memory Identification

Generally, there is memory information printed on the label of the DIMM, but different vendors may have
different formats. For example:
4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R xx xx xxx

1. Density

 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB
 Intel® Xeon® 5600 series processors support DIMMs organized by 1Gb, 2Gb or 4Gb DRAM chips

2. Rank

 1R = Single Rank
 2R = Dual Rank
 4R = Quad Rank

3. Bit Organization

 This platform supports x4 and x8
 Note: It’s not recommend to mix DIMMs with different bit organizations in one system

4. Speed

 PC3 – 6400 => DDR3- 800
 PC3 – 8500 => DDR3- 1066
 PC3 – 10600 => DDR3- 1333
 PC3 – 12800 => DDR3- 1600
