Decreasing available
memory
DIMM pairs must be matched
in size, speed, and
technology. The following
DIMM pair is mismatched:
DIMM x and DIMM y.
DIMMs must be populated in
sequential order beginning
with slot 1. The following
DIMM is electrically
isolated: DIMM x.
DIMMs should be installed
in pairs. Pairs must be
matched in size, speed,
and technology.
Causes
Installed memory modules are not the
same type and size; faulty memory
module(s).
Remote Configuration request has
been detected and is being processed.
Remote BIOS update attempt failed. Retry the BIOS update. If problem
NVRAM_CLR jumper is installed.
CMOS has been cleared.
Microprocessors with different cache
sizes are installed.
Faulty or improperly installed memory
modules.
Mismatched or unmatched DIMMs
installed; faulty or improperly seated
memory module(s).
The specified DIMM is inaccessible to
the system due to its location. DIMMs
must be populated in sequential order,
beginning with slot 1.
Mismatched or unmatched DIMMs
installed; faulty or improperly seated
memory module(s). The system will
operate in a degraded mode with
reduced ECC protection. Only
memory installed in channel 0 will be
accessible.
Corrective Actions
Ensure that all memory modules are of
the same type and size and that they are
properly installed. See "Memory" on
page 82. If the problem persists, see
"Troubleshooting System Memory" on
page 124.
Wait until the process is complete.
persists, see "Getting Help" on page 147.
Remove the NVRAM_CLR jumper. See
Figure 6-1 for jumper location.
Ensure that all microprocessors have the
same cache size and that they are
properly installed. See "Microprocessor"
on page 89.
See "Troubleshooting System Memory"
on page 124.
Ensure that all pairs of memory modules
are of the same type and size and that
they are properly installed. See
"Memory" on page 82. If the problem
persists, see "Troubleshooting System
Memory" on page 124.
Populate 2, 4, 8, or 12 DIMMs
sequentially beginning with slot 1. See
"Memory" on page 82.
Ensure that all pairs of memory modules
are of the same type and size and that
they are properly installed. See
"Memory" on page 82. If the problem
persists, see "Troubleshooting System
Memory" on page 124.
