Memory problems Symptom The amount of system memory displayed is less than the amount of physical memory installed. Suggested action Make sure that: v The memory modules are seated correctly. v You have installed the correct type of memory. v If you changed the memory, you updated the memory configuration in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. v All banks of memory are enabled. The server might have automatically disabled a memory bank when it detected a problem, or a memory bank might have been manually disabled. Check in the POST error log for error message 289: v If the DIMM was disabled by a system-management interrupt (SMI), replace the DIMM. v If the DIMM was disabled by the user or by POST, run the Configuration/Setup Utility program and enable the DIMM. v If this error remains, replace the DIMM. If the problem remains, call for service. Microprocessor problems Symptom Suggested action The blade server emits a The startup (boot) microprocessor is not working correctly. continuous tone during POST.
