METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SETTING HIGH ADDRESS BITS IN A MEMORY MODULE |
| 摘要 |
Provided are a method and apparatus for setting high address bits in a memory module. A memory module controller in the memory module, having pins to communicate on a bus, determines whether high address bits are available for the memory module, uses a predetermined value for at least one high address bit with addresses communicated from a host memory controller in response to determine that the high address bits are not available to address a first address space in the memory module, and uses values communicated from the host memory controller on at least one of the pins used for the at least one high address bit in response to determine that the high address bits are available to address a second address space, wherein the second address space is larger than the first address space. |

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a memory module controller in a memory module having pins to communicate on a bus, to:
determine whether high address bits are available for the memory module;use a predetermined value for at least one high address bit with addresses communicated from a host memory controller in response to determine that the high address bits are not available to address a first address space in the memory module; anduse values communicated from the host memory controller on at least one of the pins used for the at least one high address bit in response to determine that the high address bits are available to address a second address space, wherein the second address space is larger than the first address space. |
