Long time lurker with a fresh install of Lenny x64
I recently picked up a SuperMicro X7SBE board and populated it with
ECC RAM.
Among my random wanderings, I realized that I didn't recall seeing
anything in the BIOS or manual on if the ECC functionality is even
turned on. I've googled around and I can't seem to find anything that
would let me make sure.
I feel like I should know the answer to this already, but damned if I
can find it. Anyone have any pointers?
From here:
www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/3210/X7SBE.cfm it takes
both ECC and NON-ECC
I know it takes either one (it was something I was specifically looking
for when I was researching mainboards), but there isn't any kind of
status indicator that I can find that shows that it's enabling/making
use of the ECC capabilities.
VMWare 'machines' have a setting in their 'BIOS' where one can turn the
ECC functions on and off (and it shows up regardless if the host does
ECC or not), but there isn't anything I can find in the BIOS for this
board to turn it on or off.
Unless it's some kind of auto-detect thing I've never run into before
and that I can't find any documentation on.
