Control panel message 00E-Inventory Error during MEBx Execution 00F-Interface Error during MEBx Execution 2E1-MemorySize Error 2E2-Memory Error 2E3-Incompatible Memory Module in Memory Socket(s) X, X, ... 2E4-DIMM Configuration Warning 2E5-ECC Memory Module Detected on Unsupported Platform 2E6-Memory Not Configured Correctly for Proper MEBx Execution 300-Configuration Change Warning 301-Hard Disk 1: SMART Hard Drive Detects Imminent Failure Description Recommended action 4. If the error persists, replace the system board. BIOS information passed to the MEBx resulted in a failure. 1. Reboot the computer. 2. If the error persists, update to the latest BIOS version. 3. If the error still persists, replace the system board. MEBx operation experienced a hardware error during communication with the ME. 1. Reboot the computer. 2. If the error persists, update to the latest BIOS version. 3. If the error still persists, replace the system board. Memory amount has changed since the last boot (memory added or removed). The system memory size is different from the last startup. The most common reason is the removal of memory from the system board. Press the F1 key to save the memory changes. If this message persists, verify that the memory modules are installed correctly. Memory module configuration failed during boot up. 1. Ensure memory modules are correctly installed. 2. Verify proper memory module type. 3. Remove and replace the identified faulty memory module(s). 4. If the error persists after replacing memory modules, replace the system board. A memory module in memory socket identified 1. in the error message is missing critical SPD information, or is incompatible with the chipset. 2. 3. Verify proper memory module type. Try another memory socket. Replace with a supported module. The current memory configuration is not optimized. Rearrange the DIMMs so that each channel has the same amount of memory. Recently added memory module(s) support ECC 1. memory error correction. 2. If additional memory was recently added, remove it to see if the problem remains. Check product documentation for memory support information. DIMM1 is not installed. Make sure there is a memory module in the DIMM1 socket and that it is properly seated. The storage device configuration will be updated as shown. Not applicable Hard drive is about to fail. (Some hard drives 1. have a hard drive firmware patch that will fix an erroneous error message.) 2. Determine if hard drive is giving correct error message. Run the Drive Protection System test under using F2 Diagnostics when booting the computer. Apply hard drive firmware patch if applicable. (Available at http://www.hp.com/support.)
