Memory Troubleshooting - Digital Equipment 3100R Series Service Maintenance Manual

Memory Troubleshooting

The DIGITAL Server's Power-On Self Test (POST) can detect memory errors when
it boots. The error can be isolated to a single DIMM on the processor module.
The memory error message format is:
<Type of error>:
Where:
<Correctable Error>:
If the error is correctable when the server boots, the BIOS displays the following:
Press <F1> to resume
<Uncorrectable Error>:
If the error is uncorrectable, the server halts after the memory test.
<Configuration Error>:
This indicates that an error occurred while reading the memory configuration. The
problem is either the DIMM, the processor module, or the main logic board. In all
cases, the server halts when this error occurs and the faulty DIMM must be replaced
immediately.
