Ok, so it maintains state. The page will continue to be retired until at some point the entire DIMM is marked faulty (if enough failures occur to do that), presumably replaced, and when the fault is marked as resolved the pages will no longer be retired? What happens if the memory is swapped out, for example a memory upgrade? Will it notice that the DIMM has changed and reset the fault information? Do DIMMs have serial numbers? Hypothetically if the DIMM is swapped out for the exact same model (for whatever reason) will fm know that it is a different DIMM and reset the fault state? -- Paul B.
