Selftest Console Display Messages

The Boot Console Handler (BCH) messages in this section pertain to memory or processor related warning
messages. These messages would be displayed during the particular components selftest routine. These
warnings can also be displayed on the console by issuing the warn command (Kx50, Kx60, and Kx70
systems)

Memory Warning Messages

There are seven possible memory warning messages that may be displayed, they are as follows:
Not enough error-free contiguous memory (GoodMem). Refer to the ME command in the INFORMATION
menu, and the PDT command in the SERVICE menu for error information.
Memory page deallocation has been disabled because the Page Deallocation Table (PDT) is full. If the
Boot command is disabled, a memory error was detected after the table was full. Refer to the PDT
command in the SERVICE menu for error information.
Memory has been initialized, but not tested as a result of FASTBOOT being enabled. To test memory, use
the FASTBOOT command in the CONFIGURATION menu and reboot the system.
Some memory configurations which are valid may erroneously cause the following message to be
displayed. Verify memory configuration, and if valid disregard the message. If not valid, refer to
memory configuration rules and correct the problem.
Memory configuration is not optimized for performance. Refer to Appendix C of this manual for memory
configuration guide lines.
An empty memory slot has been detected which should contain a SIMM. The Boot command has been
disabled to prevent thermal damage. Refer to the memory configuration label for proper sequence.
Memory has been reconfigured due to a physical change or because the Page Deallocation Table (PDT)
was cleared. This is for information only. No action is required.
Memory banks deallocated due to a SIMM size mismatch or a SIMM failure. Refer to the ME command in
the INFORMATION menu for error information.
