| 1. A Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure residing in a machine-accessible medium to configure a memory module of a
machine, the SPD data structure comprising:
a plurality of SPD tokens logically associated with one another in a string format;
a plurality of SPD values, wherein each unique SPD value is linked to a particular one of the SPD tokens within the string
format; and
a plurality of rules, wherein each rule is associated with a particular linked SPD token-value pair;
wherein the machine when initiated is to parse the SPD tokens acquire the SPD values and enforce the rules to configure a
memory module within the machine for use.
