When a No-Memory Beep Code is issued by the system, check the following:
1. Make sure that the memory modules are compatible with the system and that
the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. (For memory compatibility,
refer to the Memory Compatibility Chart posted on our Website @ http://www.
supermicro.com.)
2. Check if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed. It is strongly recom-
mended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system.
3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load
Reduced (LRDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC/Non-ECC DDR3
800/1066/1333/1600/1866 MHz memory modules recommended by the manu-
facturer.
4. modules recommended by the manufacturer.
5. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among
all memory slots and check the results.
6. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the
instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2.
7. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in
Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.
