Memory Troubleshooting
The DIGITAL Server Power-On Self Test (POST) can detect memory errors when it
boots. The error can be isolated to a single DIMM on memory expansion boards 1
and 2.
The memory error message format is:
<Type of error>: <Location>
Where:
Type of error:
Correctable error
Uncorrectable error
Location Memory Expansion Module Jxx (x = DIMM socket number)
Memory Expansion Module Jxx (x = DIMM socket number)
Example:
Uncorrectable Error: Memory Expansion Module 1, Jxx
If a correctable error occurs, the BIOS displays: “Press <F1> to resume” after the
server boots. Press the <F1> key to continue booting the server. The memory error
is automatically corrected.
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the server halts after the memory test and the faulty
DIMM must be replaced immediately.
