DIMM Configuration Errors

When the server boots, system firmware checks the memory configuration against the rules

described in

“Understanding DIMM Configurations” on page 69

. If any violations of these

rules are detected, the following general error message is displayed.

Please refer to the service documentation for supported memory
configurations.

In some cases, the server boots in a degraded state, and a message such as the following is

displayed:

WARNING: Running with a nonstandard DIMM configuration. Refer to service document for
details.

In other cases, the configuration error is fatal, and the following message is displayed:

Fatal configuration error - forcing power-down

In addition to these general memory configuration errors, one or more rule-specific messages is

displayed, indicating the type of configuration error detected. To identify the DIMMs affected,

use the fmadm faulty command as described in
