Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to
respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a
diskette, a message will warn you that you may lose all data on the diskette.
Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond by
typing
y
(yes) or
n
(no).
NOTE:
Warning messages are generated by either the application or the operating
system. For more information, see the documentation that accompanied the
operating system or application.
Warning: The
current memory
configuration is
not optimal. Dell
recommends a
population of 2,
4, or 8 DIMMs.
DIMMs should be
populated
sequentially
starting in slot 1.
System has detected a
legal but non-optimal
population of DIMMs (for
example, 1 DIMM, 6
DIMMs, 4 DIMMs in slots
1, 2, 5, and 6, etc.). The
system will run with all
memory accessible but will
experience sub-optimal
performance.
Populate 2, 4, or 8 DIMMs
sequentially beginning with
slot 1. See "System Memory"
on page 100.
