User Notification

The first row that contains the defective DIMM will be mapped out and the
system will continue to boot with the remaining memory. An error message will
be displayed to video for the mapped out defect DIMM.

“First row test”

- displayed on the upper LCD line during first row

test

“0064MB”

- displayed on the lower LCD line during first row

test

“Base memory test”

- displayed on the upper LCD line and sometimes

this message can go by very fast

Later an error message for the defective DIMM will be displayed on the video as
follows:

8C9X: "DIMMS mapped out: Upper Board, n-n+3".

Where ‘n’ refers to the DIMM number.

Example: Consider a system that is populated with two rows of 256 MB DIMMS
in the upper board rows 1-4 and 5-8. If a single bit memory error was detected in
DIMM 5 during the first row memory test and if no errors were found during the
base memory test, the following message will appear on the video during POST:

2048 MB Total Memory Installed
1024 MB Configured
1024 MB Tested

The first line is the total memory installed (regardless of condition). The second
line is the total memory useable (and is less than the first line, only if defective
DIMMS were found). The third line counts the memory as the test is being
performed. When the test is completed, the number in this line should equal the
number in the second line.

The following error message for the defective DIMM 5 will be displayed on the
video as follows:

“8C95: DIMMs mapped out: Lower Board, 5 - 8”

User Action

If the user is satisfied with the configured memory on the system, no action is
required. Otherwise, follow these steps:
