Abstract: An information handling system includes multiple dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The DIMMs form a memory system of the information handling system. The BIOS begins a system boot of the information handling system, and performs a first memory reference code training. Based on the first memory reference code training, the BIOS discovers a bad DIMM of the DIMMs, and stores information associated with the bad DIMM. The BIOS reboots the information handling system. During the reboot, the BIOS retrieves the information associated with the bad DIMM. The BIOS disables a slot associated with the bad DIMM. In response to the slot being disabled, the BIOS performs a second memory reference code training. Based on the second memory reference code training, the BIOS downgrades the memory system to a closest possible DIMM population.
