Dell EMC Associate – PowerEdge Server Specialist — Question 7

Why is Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory beneficial in Dell EMC PowerEdge servers?

Answer options

• A. Provides a separate memory management scheme for memory operation?
• B. Creates redundancy by mirroring physically installed memory
• C. Can present more memory than what is physically installed
• D. Can repair errors without interrupting other server operations

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is accurate because ECC memory can detect and correct internal data corruption in real-time, allowing the server to maintain operations without interruption. Options A, B, and C do not accurately describe the primary functionality of ECC memory; they either misrepresent its purpose or refer to features that are not related to error correction.
