摘要
A method for determining the maximum amount of physical memory present in a data processing system that can be configured to have one or more memory modules where the memory modules may be one of several types having different amounts of memory locations. By having signals indicating the presence of a memory module and the module type directly available with minimal intervening logic, a diagnostic process can accurately determine the amount of memory present in the system and reduce the possibility of a failed memory module going undetected. A method is also descibed using these memory module present and module type signals for detecting an attempt by either the central processor or an input/output controller to access a memory location that is not physically present within the data processing system.
