7.3.4 Defective Memory Disconnection Function

This server is equipped with the defective memory disconnection function.
This function disconnects the memory judged to be defective (abnormal) during Power On Self Test
(POST) to start the server. If the memory capacity is discovered to be smaller than the capacity of the
memory installed during POST, there is a possibility of memory defect.
You can check the slot whose memory is defective from the system event log.
Replace the defective memory, if discovered, and then restart the server.
