LH4 Memory Error

Ernesto ETCHART — Fri, 13 Feb 2004 10:44:34 GMT

Dear,
IÂ´m having a Memory Error. Control Panel says itÂ´s on Board 1, but in motherboard references are Board A and B.
Board A is Board 0? ...or itÂ´s Board 1?
Thank You in advance,
E

Ernesto.

I believe the translation from the front panel regarding memory boards.
Board A= Board 0
Board B= Board 1

Are you getting single bit errors?

Ciao,
Greg

Ernesto,

If you install instant top tools, you'll be able to see both memory boards and verify the dimm location and status. ITT installs without a reboot required.

Hello Ernesto,

unfortunately this logging and mapping to the right physicall slot is not so straight forward. If you see a single bit error in the front panel or hardware log (SEL) as being Bank 7, Board 1 then this should be the DIMM in J6 on board 1 (which is the board on the right side)

Mem board Phys.Slot Bank/Board SEL Slotnr
------------------------------------------
A (Right) J6 1 7

So the Board numbering maps to :

Board=0 is memory carrier B
Board=1 is memory carrier A

The Bios offset and log offset are 0-based and 1-based, this is why they are a value of 1 off and the 7 translates in to the J6 to replace.

hope this helps

Kris
