HP B2B94UT B2B94UT#ABA, Z220 F1J90UAABA Bios errors and warnings, Dimm installation guidelines

BIOS errors and warnings

The BIOS generates warnings/errors on invalid memory configurations:

●If the BIOS can find a valid memory configuration by disabling plugged-in memory, it does so and reports a warning during POST. the workstation can still be started. The warning will indicate the location of the failed DIMM on the system board.

●If there is no way for the BIOS to obtain a valid memory configuration by disabling plugged-in memory, the BIOS halts with a diagnostics 2006 code for memory error (five beeps and blinks).

DIMM installation guidelines

●Install only HP-approved DDR3 DIMMs

CAUTION: HP ships only DIMMs that are electrically and thermally compatible with this workstation. Because third-party DIMMs might not be electrically or thermally compatible, they are not supported by HP.

●Install only HP-approved DDR3 DIMMs. See http://www.hp.com/go/quickspecs to find DIMMs that are compatible with the workstation.

●Do not intermix DIMMs of different technologies. ECC Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs), Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), and Load Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs) are supported on HP Z series Workstations. Supported DIMM configurations on page 101 specifies which technologies are supported on each platform.

CAUTION: DIMMs and their sockets are keyed for proper installation. To prevent socket or DIMM damage, align these guides properly when installing DIMMs.
