booting from the NIC to a PXE server.
Reset the date and time under Control

If the problem persists, replace the RTC
battery. See the Removal and Replacement
section for instructions on installing a new
battery, or contact an authorized dealer or
reseller for RTC battery replacement.

changes.

installed.
2. Verify proper memory module type.

faulty memory module(s).
4. If the error persists after replacing
memory modules, replace the system
board.
Rearrange the DIMMs so that each channel
