This error can be caused by: Incorrectly installed memory A failing memory module A system-board failure Action: 1. If you just installed memory, verify that the new memory is correct for your system, and that the memory modules are installed properly. If the memory is not installed correctly, reseat the memory modules. (See "Working with Memory Modules" on page 63.) Verify that the memory modules are configured correctly. (See Chapter 3, "Configuring Your Server" on page 23.) 2. Run the diagnostic programs to verify the problem. (See "Running the Diagnostic Test Programs" on page 124 for information on running the diagnostic programs that come with your server.) If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the system serviced. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 133
