• All banks of memory are enabled. The server might have automatically disabled a memory bank when
it detected a problem, or a memory bank might have been manually disabled.
• There is no memory mismatch when the server is at the minimum memory configuration.
2. Reseat the DIMMs, and then restart the server.
3. Check the POST error log:
• If a memory module was disabled by a systems-management interrupt (SMI), replace the memory
module.
• If a memory module was disabled by the user or by POST, reseat the memory module; then, run the
Setup Utility and enable the memory module.
4. Run memory diagnostics. When you start a solution and press the key according to the on-screen
instructions, the LXPM interface is displayed by default. (For more information, see the "Startup" section
in the LXPM documentation compatible with your server at
lxpm_frontend/lxpm_product_page.html
the Diagnostic page, click Run Diagnostic ➙ Memory test.
5. Re-enable all memory modules using the Setup Utility, and then restart the server.
6. (Trained technician only) Install the failing memory module into a memory module connector for
processor 2 (if installed) to verify that the problem is not the processor or the memory module connector.
7. (Trained technician only) Replace the system board.
