Memory Initialization at the beginning of POST includes multiple functions, including: discovery,
channel training, validation that the DIMM population is acceptable and functional, initialization
of the IMC and other hardware settings, and initialization of applicable RAS configurations.
When a major memory initialization error occurs and prevents the system from booting with data
integrity, a beep code is generated, the MRC will display a fatal error code on the diagnostic
LEDs, and a system halt command is executed. Fatal MRC error halts do NOT change the state
of the System Status LED, and they do NOT get logged as SEL events. The following table lists
all MRC fatal errors that are displayed to the Diagnostic LEDs.

No usable memory error
01h = No memory was detected from SPD read, or invalid config that
causes no operable memory.
02h = Memory DIMMs on all channels of all sockets are disabled due to
hardware memtest error.
3h = No memory installed. All channels are disabled.
