If this warning message appears, complete the following steps:  
1.  Record each of the instructions of changing PMEM slot from XCC events.
2.  Power off the system, and remove the PMEMs that are mentioned in the warning messages. It is 
suggested to label these PMEMs to avoid confusion.
3.  Install the PMEMs in the correct slot number indicated in the warning messages. Remove the labels to 
avoid blocking airflow and cooling.
4.  Complete replacement and power on the system. Make sure there is no similar warning messages in 
XCC.
Note: Do not perform any provisioning on PMEM to avoid data lost when the messages are still present in 
XCC events.
