164 A change in the memory configuration occurred. This message might
appear after you add or remove memory.
Note: The server can be used with decreased memory capacity.
Action: 1. If POST error message 289 also occurred, follow the
instructions for that error message first.
2. If you just installed or removed memory, run the
Configuration/Setup Utility program; then exit, saving the
new configuration settings.
If the message appears again, shut down the server, reseat
the memory modules, and restart the server.
3. If the problem remains, check to see if the system has
isolated the problem to a memory module:
• If the Fault light on the operator information panel is on,
check to see if the MEM LED on the diagnostic LED
panel is on. (See “Level 2 diagnostic panel LEDs” on
page 124.) If it is on, check the DIMM Error LEDs next
to the memory sockets. If a DIMM error LED is on, run
the diagnostic program for the memory.
Note: If the server had a DIMM failure, an LED on the
memory board indicates the failing DIMM. If the
LED is not visible with the memory board in its
connector, you can remove the memory board
and press the button on the board to light the
LED for the failing DIMM.
— If the tests fail, replace the DIMM. If the problem
remains after you replace the DIMM, call for
service.
— If the memory tests do not fail, call for service.
• If no error LED is on, the error logs in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program might provide
additional information on the memory error.
If the problem remains, call for service.
