Solving Problems Described by LCD Status Messages

The code and text on the LCD can often specify a very precise fault condition that is easily corrected. For example, if the code E1418CPU_1_Presence
appears, you know that a microprocessor is not installed in socket 1.
In contrast, you might be able to determine the problem if multiple related errors occur. For example, if you receive a series of messages indicating multiple
voltage faults, you might determine that the problem is a failing power supply.

Removing LCD Status Messages

For faults associated with sensors, such as temperature, voltage, fans, and so on, the LCD message is automatically removed when that sensor returns to a
normal state. For example, if temperature for a component goes out of range, the LCD displays the fault; when the temperature returns to the acceptable
range, the message is removed from the LCD. For other faults, you must take action to remove the message from the display:
lClear the SEL — You can perform this task remotely, but you will lose the event history for the system.
lPower cycle — Turn off the system and disconnect it from the electrical outlet; wait approximately ten seconds, reconnect the power cable, and restart
the system.
Any of these actions will remove fault messages, and return the status indicators and LCD colors to the normal state. Messages will reappear under the
following conditions:
lThe sensor returns to a normal state but fails again, resulting in a new SEL entry.
lThe system is reset and new error events are detected.
lA failure is recorded from another source that maps to the same display entry.

Node Interleaving.
The memory configuration does not support
node interleaving, or the configuration has
changed (for example, a failed DIMM) so that
node interleaving cannot be supported. The
system will run but with reduced functionality.
Ensure that the memory modules are installed in a
configuration that supports node interleaving. Check other
system messages for additional information for possible
causes. For memory configuration information, see General
Memory Module Installation Guidelines. If the problem persists,
