7.4.4 Defective Memory Disconnection Function
This server is equipped with the defective memory disconnection function.
This function disconnects the memory judged to be defective (abnormal) during Power On Self Test
(POST) to start the server. When POST is executed, if the memory capacity is discovered to be smaller
than the capacity of the memory installed, there is a possibility of memory defect.
You can check the slot whose memory is defective from the system event log.
Replace the defective memory, if discovered, and then restart the server.
■ Replacing the Defective Memory
1 Check the slot whose memory is defective from the system event log.
"9.3 System Event Log" (pg.280)
2 Replace the defective memory with a new one according to "7.4.3 How to
Install Memory Module" (
pg.192).
3 Turn on the server and start the BIOS Setup Utility.
"8.2.1 Starting and Exiting the BIOS Setup Utility" (pg.231)
4 Select the [Memory Status] submenu from the [Server] menu and check that
[Memory Module nn] (nn is the number of the replaced memory module) is set
to [Enabled].
If the item is set to [Failed], change the setting to [Enabled].
"
■ Memory Status Submenu" (pg.248)
If it is not set to [Enabled], the server will start with the memory module recognized as being
defective and constantly disconnected. To use a new memory module, set the item to
[Enabled] for releasing the failed memory status at the next startup.
