Installing System Components
•
Integrated PCI devices (such as NICs) and SCSI controllers
•
PCI expansion cards
At start-up, the BIOS identifies the components that require address space.
The BIOS dynamically calculates the amount of reserved address space
required. The BIOS then subtracts the reserved address space from 8 GB to
determine the amount of usable space.
•
If the total installed system memory is less than the usable space, all
installed system memory is available for use only by the operating system.
•
If the total installed system memory is equal to or greater than the usable
address space, a small portion of installed memory is available for use by
the operating system.
