Troubleshooting 73
Memory problems
General memory problems are occurring
Action:
• Isolate and minimize the memory configuration. Use care when handling DIMMs ("DIMM handling
guidelines" on page 53).
o Be sure the memory meets the server requirements and is installed as required by the server.
Some servers may require that memory banks be populated fully or that all memory within a
memory bank must be the same size, type, and speed. To determine if the memory is installed
properly, see the server documentation.
o Check any server LEDs that correspond to memory slots.
o If you are unsure which DIMM has failed, test each bank of DIMMs by removing all other
DIMMs. Then, isolate the failed DIMM by switching each DIMM in a bank with a known working
DIMM.
o Remove any third-party memory.
• To test the memory, run HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 42).
