Linux基础：如何找出你的系统所支持的最大内存

linux  /  管理员 发布于 7年前   149

大多数情况下你可以从BIOS、产品目录或者干脆手动找出你的系统所持的最大内存。这里，我们介绍一种简单有用的技巧――使用dmidecode来找出系统支持的最大内存，这样你就无需打开机箱或者参照BIOS和产品目录了。

什么是 dmidecode?

就像你可能知道的一样， dmidecode是一个将计算机DMI（又名SMBIOS）表的内容转换为可读格式的工具。这个表包含了系统硬件组件的介绍以及其他一些如序列号和IOS版本等有用的信息。使用dmidecode你能够获取此项信息，而无需去探测真实的硬件。

找出你的系统所支持的最大内存

请确定你已经在系统中安装了dmidecode，我觉得你的操作系统应该已经自动安装过了，不过并不非常确定。

在基于Deb的系统中安装

sudo apt-get install dmidecode

在基于RPM的系统中安装

sudo yum install dmidecode

在SUSE/openSUSE中安装

sudo zypper in dmidecode

好了，我们已经安装了dmidecode，接下来让我们找出支持的最大内存。输入以下命令：

sudo dmidecode -t 16

输出样本

# dmidecode 2.12SMBIOS 2.6 present. Handle 0x0014, DMI type 16, 15 bytesPhysical Memory Array Location: System Board Or Motherboard Use: System Memory Error Correction Type: None Maximum Capacity: 16 GB Error Information Handle: Not Provided Number Of Devices: 2

就像你看到的，我的系统支持最大内存到16G，并且有两个内存插槽，简单吧？

接下来，让我们找出现在已经安装的内存的详细信息。

sudo dmidecode -t 17

输出样本

# dmidecode 2.12SMBIOS 2.6 present. Handle 0x0017, DMI type 17, 28 bytesMemory Device Array Handle: 0x0014 Error Information Handle: 0x0000 Total Width: Unknown Data Width: Unknown Size: No Module Installed Form Factor: DIMM Set: None Locator: DIMM_B Bank Locator: BANK 2 Type: Unknown Type Detail: None Speed: Unknown Manufacturer: Not Specified Serial Number: Not Specified Asset Tag: Not Specified Part Number: Not Specified Rank: Unknown Handle 0x0015, DMI type 17, 28 bytesMemory Device Array Handle: 0x0014 Error Information Handle: 0x0000 Total Width: 64 bits Data Width: 64 bits Size: 4096 MB Form Factor: SODIMM Set: None Locator: DIMM_A Bank Locator: BANK 0 Type: DDR3 Type Detail: Synchronous Speed: 1067 MHz Manufacturer: 014F Serial Number: 00092AF2 Asset Tag: 54114000   Part Number: JM1066KSN-4G   Rank: Unknown

就像上边输出的一样，我在插槽1里边安装了一个内存条。内存大小为4G，类型为DDR3，速度为1067 MHz。

同样的，我们可以通过下边命令得到完整的内存信息。

sudo dmidecode -t memorysudo dmidecode -t memory | lesssudo dmidecode -t memory | more

输出样本

# dmidecode 2.12SMBIOS 2.6 present.

如果你好奇想要知道整个系统的详细信息，例如主板、内存、BIOS等，那么可以输入以下命令来获取。

sudo dmidecode
