Memory problems

General memory problems are occurring

Action:

•Isolate and minimize the memory configuration.

•Be sure the memory meets the server requirements and is installed as required by the server. Some servers may require that memory banks be fully populated or that all memory within a memory bank must be the same size, type, and speed. Refer to the server documentation to determine if the memory is installed properly.

•Check any server LEDs that correspond to memory slots.

•If you are unsure which DIMM has failed, test each bank of DIMMs by removing all other DIMMs. Then, isolate the failed DIMM by switching each DIMM in a bank with a known working DIMM.

•Remove any third-party memory.

•Run HP Insight Diagnostics (on page 61) to test the memory.

Server is out of memory

Action:

1.Be sure the memory is configured properly. Refer to the application documentation to determine the memory configuration requirements.

2.Be sure no operating system errors are indicated.

3.Be sure a memory count error ("Memory count error exists" on page 41) did not occur. Refer to the message displaying memory count during POST.

Memory count error exists

Possible Cause: The memory modules are not installed correctly.

Action:

1.Be sure the memory modules are supported by the server. Refer to the server documentation.

2.Be sure the memory modules have been installed correctly in the right configuration. Refer to the server documentation.

3.Be sure the memory modules are properly seated.

4.Be sure no operating system errors are indicated.

5.Restart the server and check to see if the error message is still displayed.

6.Run Insight Diagnostics ("HP Insight Diagnostics" on page 61) and replace failed components as indicated.

Server fails to recognize existing memory

Action:

1.Reseat the memory.

2.Be sure the memory is configured properly. Refer to the server documentation.

3.Be sure a memory count error ("Memory count error exists" on page 41) did not occur. Refer to the message displaying memory count during POST.

ProLight Server specifications

The HP ProLiant server series is designed to deliver exceptional performance, scalability, and reliability for a variety of workloads, making it a popular choice among businesses of all sizes. Known for its robust architecture, the ProLiant series integrates cutting-edge technologies to support critical applications, virtualization, and cloud computing.

One of the defining features of HP ProLiant servers is their advanced management capabilities, facilitated by HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) technology. This embedded management tool offers remote access and monitoring capabilities, enabling IT administrators to oversee servers even when they are powered down. iLO provides essential features like firmware lifecycle management, power consumption monitoring, and system health checks, all of which simplify management and enhance uptime.

HP ProLiant servers leverage Intel's latest Xeon processors, which deliver impressive processing power and energy efficiency. The architecture supports multi-core processing, allowing for greater parallelism and improved operational efficiency. Furthermore, the series supports various memory configurations, with options for scalable and high-speed memory that can significantly enhance performance in memory-intensive applications.

Storage is another strength of the HP ProLiant series. The servers provide a range of storage options, including HDDs and SSDs, which enable organizations to configure systems to meet their performance and capacity requirements. HP’s Smart Array technology allows for advanced RAID capabilities, providing added data protection and redundancy, ensuring that critical information remains secure even during hardware failures.

HP ProLiant servers also focus on security, featuring built-in security technologies to protect against potential threats. Technologies such as silicon root of trust, secure boot, and firmware validation help safeguard server integrity from the ground up.

Scalability is essential for growing businesses, and the ProLiant series is designed to accommodate increasing workloads efficiently. Its modular architecture allows for seamless upgrades, ensuring that organizations can expand their infrastructure as needed without extensive downtime or resource expenditure.

In conclusion, the HP ProLiant server series blends performance, management, security, and scalability, making it a reliable choice for enterprise IT environments. With its robust features, advanced technologies, and focus on security and manageability, HP ProLiant servers provide businesses with the capability to meet their evolving IT demands effectively.
