A PowerEdge server is configured for memory mirroring. The administrator notices that the total usable memory reported by the operating system is half of the installed physical memory. What is the most likely reason for this?

The DIMMs are not seated properly, so half of them are not detected.

The server is using memory sparing, which reserves one rank per channel.

The operating system is 32-bit and cannot address more than 4 GB of memory.

Memory mirroring reserves half of the installed memory for the mirror copy.

An administrator is configuring a PowerEdge server with 16 DIMMs. The server supports memory mirroring and sparing. The administrator wants to maximize memory capacity while still providing some protection against memory errors. Which configuration should they choose?

Memory sparing with all 16 DIMMs installed.

Optimizer mode with all 16 DIMMs installed.

Memory mirroring with all 16 DIMMs installed.

Advanced ECC with all 16 DIMMs installed.
