Memory Troubleshooting

Your 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>:
This indicates that an error occurred while reading the memory configuration. The
problem is either the DIMM or the processor module. In both cases, the server halts
when this error occurs.
Where:
<Correctable Error>:
If the error is correctable when the server boots, the BIOS displays the following:
Press <F1> to resume
Press the <F1> key to continue booting the server. The memory error is
automatically corrected.
<Uncorrectable Error>:
If the error is uncorrectable, the server halts after the memory test.
<Configuration Error>:
If an uncorrectable error occurs, the server halts after the memory test and the faulty
DIMM must be replaced immediately.
