Identifying Correctable Dimm Errors (Ces) - Oracle SUN Fire X4640 Diagnostics Manual

Remove the CPU module that has the DIMM problem, and remove another CPU module that
18
does not indicate a DIMM problem.
Refer to the
Remove both DIMMs of the pair and install them into paired slots on the second CPU module
19
that did not indicate a DIMM problem.
Using the slot numbers in the example, install the two DIMMs from CPU0, slots 1 and 0 into
CPU1, slots 1 and 0 or CPU1, slots 3 and 2.
Reinstall both CPU modules that you removed.
20
Refer to the
Reconnect AC power cords to the server.
21
Power on the server and run the diagnostics test again.
22
Review the log file.
23
If the error now appears under the CPU that manages the DIMM slots you just installed, the
■
problem is with the DIMMs. Return both DIMMs (the pair) to the Support Center for
replacement.
If the error remains with the original CPU, there is a problem with that CPU module.

Identifying Correctable DIMM Errors (CEs)

CEs rarely occur, therefore during a short POST, the BIOS might not be able to catch a CE to log
it in the server's IPMI SEL (system event logs). Memory Correctable Errors are usually reported
and handled by the supporting operating systems. See the following procedures for more
information:
"How to Identify CEs on a Solaris Server" on page 19

How to Identify CEs on a Solaris Server
●
Use Solaris FMA to identify memory CEs.
