I have a new PC build on Supermicro X11SCA motherboard with Intel XEON E-2288G and 64GB of ECC Ram.
The only reason I paid for the pro version of Memtest64 is that it offered the additional ECC error injection feature.
After installation, Memtest64 reports that although ECC is enabled, injection is not available on my system.
I see that ECC Error Injection is in the E-2200 Datasheets so it is apparently available for this CPU.
No explanation is provided as to why it is not available. I think I saw somewhere mention that sometimes it is disabled in BIOS by the manufacturer but without any details. Any information as to what are the relevant BIOS settings and whether they are available for modification on the Supermicro AMI BIOS to make ECC error injection available?
I would like to test my memory with ECC error injection. Any comments as to whether this might be doable? If this is not doable, I would like a refund if possible.
Also I ran the standard memory test through most of 4 passes overnight (10 hours). Had to end it prematurely part way through test 13 on the 4th pass this morning and it was reporting 0 errors. Does that mean zero errors after ECC correction or would it report ECC correction counts in the on screen status display (which I took a snapshot of). Otherwise some memory sensitivities may be being masked by ECC and I would imagine I should probably run test with ECC disabled to expose that potential problem. Welcome any thoughts on this and other suggestions to thoroughly test the memory.
