Isolating and minimizing the memory configuration
When troubleshooting memory issues, sometimes it is necessary to isolate DIMMs in a minimum configuration to determine which DIMM failed.
Prerequisites
Use care when handling DIMMs.
Procedure
- If you are unsure which DIMM has failed, test each channel of DIMMs by removing all other DIMMs.
- Isolate the failed DIMM by switching each DIMM in a channel with a known working DIMM.
