Abstract
An information handling system includes a processor, a plurality of dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), and a basic input/output system (BIOS). During a power-on self-test (POST), the BIOS may read serial presence detect data from each of the DIMMs, determine a total amount of installed memory. The BIOS may determine whether the total amount of the installed memory exceeds a maximum memory capacity of the processor. If so, the BIOS may remove memory capacity of the DIMMs to create a second total amount of the installed memory that is less than the maximum memory capacity of the processor, configure a memory address decode register with the second total amount of the installed memory, and complete the POST.
