The Boot Console Interface Displaying the Memory Configuration Memory Information Examples: 8-Slot J5000 The following example, from a J5000, shows the Memory Information display when memory modules are improperly installed and configured: MEMORY INFORMATION MEMORY STATUS TABLE Slot ---- 0 1 2 Size ------ 512MB 256MB 256MB Status Active Active-MBE Active TOTAL MEMORY = 1024MB MEMORY FAULT TABLE Slot ---- 1 Size ------ 256MB Status Active-MBE Active, Installed Memory Deallocated Pages Available Memory Good Memory Required by OS Memory HVERSION SVERSION 0x0860 0x0900 : 1024MB of SDRAM : 1 Page ----------: 1023MB : 0 (Not Initialized) The fact that there is an entry beneath the "Memory Fault Table" indicates that there was a problem detected. The "MBE" stands for "Multi-Bit Error," which means the computer detected a memory defect in one or more 4KB areas of the indicated DIMM, and flagged the defective areas as unusable, although the rest of the DIMM (the huge majority) will still be used properly-compare the "Active Installed Memory" value to the "Available Memory" value.
