Memory Errors

1. Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
2. You should be using registered ECC DDR-2 memory (see next page). Also, it is
recommended that you use the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the
system. See
3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and
noting the results.
4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

Losing the System's Setup Configuration

supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to

~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.
3. If the above steps do not fix the setup configuration problem, contact your vendor for
repairs.
