If an error appears:

ŸIf the computer don't have the base memo

replace the system board.

ŸIf the computer has the base memory slo remove the DIMM installed in the base memo slot and go to step 2 on page 33. Then i error appears, replace the system board.

If an error does not appear, continue the f procedures.

5. Power off the computer and reinstall the DIMM

by one; then power on the computer. Verify t

memory size; then test the memory. If an er

appears,

replace the DIMM.

Note: Make

sure that the DIMM is fully installe

the

connector. A loose connection can caus

an

error.

6.If the problem does not corrected, replace following FRU.

a.System board

b.CPU card

If memory problems occur intermittently, use the option to repeat the test. When the test detec an error log is printed on the printer connected parallel port. See “Displaying the Error Log” on pa for more information.
