After you select the memory card option by entering 1, a menu displays, allowing the selection of a
memory DIMM. The following is an example of this menu.
MEMORY CONFIGURATION/DECONFIGURATION MENU
1. 3.16(00) Configured by system 2. 3.17(00) Configured by system
3. 3.18(00) Configured by system 4. 3.19(00) Configured by system
5. 4.24(00) Configured by system 6. 4.25(00) Configured by system
7. 4.26(00) Configured by system 8. 4.27(00) Configured by system

Note: This table is built from vital product data collected during the last boot sequence. The first time
the system is powered on, or after the system’s nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) has been erased, this
table may be empty. The table is rebuilt during the next boot into AIX.
The fields in the previous table represent the following:
Column 1
1. Menu selection index/DIMM number
Column 2
xx.xx : DIMM address used by service processor
Column 3
(00) Error status
The error status of the each memory DIMM is indicated by AB, where B indicates the number of errors
and A indicates the type of error according to the following table:
1. Bring-up failure
2. Run-time non-recoverable failure
3. Run-time recoverable failure
4. Group integrity failure
5. Non-repeat-gardable error. The resource may be reconfigured on the next boot.
An error status of 00 (for example, 3.16(00)) indicates that the memory DIMM has not had any errors
logged against it by the service processor.
To change the memory configuration, select the number of the memory DIMM. The memory DIMM state
will change from configured to deconfigured or from deconfigured to configured.
In the previous example menu, each line shows two DIMMs and indicates whether they are configured.
To enable or disable Memory Repeat Gard, use menu option 77 of the Memory
Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu.
To enable or disable runtime recoverable error repeat gard, use option 78 of the Memory
Configuration/Deconfiguration Menu.
The failure history of each DIMM is retained. If a DIMM with a history of failures is brought back online
by disabling Repeat Gard, it remains online if it passes testing during the boot process. However, if
Repeat Gard is enabled, the DIMM is taken offline again because of its history of failures.
