Solution
1. Review the documentation that came with the system to
determine if you are using the correct memory modules
and to verify the proper installation.
NOTE:
DIMM1 or XMM1 must always be installed. On
all computers except the USDT, DIMM1 must be installed
before DIMM2, and DIMM3 must be installed before
DIMM4.
2.
Observe the beeps and LED lights on the front of the
computer. Beeps and flashing LEDs are codes for specific
problems.
3. If you still cannot resolve the issue, contact Customer
Support.
