Control panel message Description Recommended action
2E1-MemorySize Error Memory amount has changed since the
last boot (memory added or removed).
The system memory size is different
from the last startup. The most common
reason is the removal of memory from
the system board. Press the f1 key to
save the memory changes.
2E2-Memory Error Memory module configuration failed
during boot-up.
1. Be sure that memory modules are
correctly installed.
2. Verify proper memory module type.
3. Remove and replace the identified
faulty memory modules.
4. If the error persists after replacing
memory modules, replace the
system board.
2E3-Incompatible Memory Module in
Memory Socket(s) X, X, ...
A memory module in memory socket
identified in the error message is
missing critical SPD information, or is
incompatible with the chipset.
1. Verify proper memory module type.
2. Try another memory socket.
3. Replace with a supported module.
2E4-DIMM Configuration Warning Populated DIMM Configuration is not
optimized.
Rearrange the DIMMs so that each
channel has the same amount of
memory.
2E5-ECC Memory Module Detected on
Unsupported Platform
Recently added memory modules
support ECC memory error correction.
1. If additional memory was recently
added, remove it to see if the
problem remains.
2. Check product documentation for
memory support information.
2E6–Memory Not Configured Correctly
for Proper MEBx Execution
DIMM1 is not installed. Be sure that a memory module is in
the DIMM1 socket and that it is properly
seated.
300–Configuration Change Warning A change in storage configuration has
been detected (see the Boot Options
menu in BIOS Setup to enable this
feature). Either the installed hardware
has changed, storage or firmware mode
might have been changed, or a storage
device might have failed to respond.
If no changes were made before this
warning, check that the drives are
connected properly to power cables
and system board. User Diagnostics (f2
during boot-up) might help identify any
problem with specific devices.
301-Hard Disk 1: SMART Hard Drive
Detects Imminent Failure
Hard drive will soon fail. (Some hard
drives have a hard drive firmware patch
that will fix an erroneous error message.)
1. Determine whether hard drive is
giving correct error message. Run
the Drive Protection System test
under using F2 Diagnostics when
booting the computer.
2. Apply hard drive firmware
patch if applicable. (Available at
http://www.hp.com/support.)
3. Back up contents and replace hard
drive.
