Memory Information Examples: 8-Slot J5xxx

The following example, from a J5xxx, shows the Memory Information
display when memory modules are improperly installed and configured:
MEMORY INFORMATION
MEMORY STATUS TABLE
Slot Size Status
---- ------ -------------
0 512MB Active
1 256MB Active-MBE
2 256MB Active
TOTAL MEMORY = 1024MB
MEMORY FAULT TABLE
Slot Size Status

1 256MB Active-MBE

HVERSION SVERSION
-------- ----------
0x0860 0x0900
The fact that there is an entry beneath the "Memory Fault Table"
indicates that there was a problem detected. The "MBE" stands for
"Multi-Bit Error," which means the computer detected a memory defect
in one or more 4KB areas of the indicated DIMM, and flagged the
defective areas as unusable, although the rest of the DIMM (the huge
majority) will still be used properly—compare the "Active Installed
Memory" value to the "Available Memory" value.
