The amount of system memory that is displayed is
less than the amount of installed physical memory. |
Note: Each time you install or remove a DIMM, you
must disconnect the server from the power source; then, wait 10 seconds
before restarting the server.
- Make sure that:
- No error LEDs are lit on the operator information panel.
- No DIMM error LEDs are lit on the system board.
- The memory modules are seated correctly.
- You have installed the correct type of memory.
- If you changed the memory, you updated the memory configuration
in the Setup utility.
- All banks of memory are enabled. The server might have automatically
disabled a memory bank when it detected a problem, or a memory bank
might have been manually disabled.
- There is no memory mismatch when the server is at the minimum
memory configuration.
- Reseat the DIMMs, and then restart the server.
- Check the POST error log:
- If a DIMM was disabled by a systems-management interrupt (SMI),
replace the DIMM.
- If a DIMM was disabled by the user or by POST, reseat the DIMM;
then, run the Setup utility and enable the DIMM.
- Check that all DIMMs are initialized in the Setup utility; then,
run memory diagnostics (see Running DSA Preboot diagnostic programs).
- Make sure that there is no memory mismatch when the server is
at the minimum memory configuration.
- Add one pair of DIMMs at a time, making sure that the DIMMs in
each pair match.
- Reseat the DIMM.
- Re-enable all DIMMs using the Setup utility, and then restart
the server.
- Replace the following components one at a time, in the order shown,
restarting the server each time:
- DIMMs
- (Trained technician only) Replace the system board
|
Multiple rows of DIMMs in a branch are identified
as failing. |
Note: Each time you install or remove a DIMM, you
must disconnect the server from the power source; then, wait 10 seconds
before restarting the server.
- Reseat the DIMMs; then, restart the server.
- Replace the failing DIMM.
- (Trained technician only) Replace the system board
