Memory Errors

1.Make sure that the ECC SO-DIMM modules are properly installed and fully seated in the slots.

3.Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots to see if you can locate the faulty modules.

4.Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

If You Lose the System’s Setup Configuration

2.The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one.

3.If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your vendor for repairs.
