If the appliance is operational, run the appropriate diagnostic test. See the Using system diagnostics section for the available
diagnostic tests.
If the diagnostic tests indicate a fault, follow the corrective actions provided by the diagnostic tests.

Wait at least for 10 seconds, and then reconnect the appliance to the power source.

Turn on the appliance and attached peripherals, and note the messages on the screen.
If an error message is displayed indicating a fault with a specific memory module, go to step 12.
