DIMM slot numbers. Board labeling prepends a "D" to the slot number (for

example: D0–D11).

Channel B slots: D0–D2 for memory buffer 0; D6–D8 for memory buffer 1.

Channel A slots: D3–D5 for memory buffer 0; D9–D11 for memory buffer 1.

Memory buffer 0.

Memory buffer 1.

Troubleshooting a Multi-DIMM Failure State

A multi-DIMM failure state is when a single DIMM failure causes other DIMMs in the same

channel (or a second channel) on a memory riser card to become disabled or appear as if they

have failed.

When a DIMM failure occurs, check the Oracle ILOM system event log (SEL) to:

■

Identify the first DIMM that failed.

■

Note any additional DIMM failures occurring closely after the initial DIMM failure.

■

Identify the memory riser card that contains the failed DIMM.

■

Note the channel(s) in which any additional DIMM failures have occurred.

If another DIMM (or DIMMs) has failed after the initial occurrence of a single DIMM failure,

and, if the DIMM failure is on the same memory riser card, then the server might be in multi-

DIMM failure state.

For example, you might see the following in the system error log:

135 Sun May 21 00:53:57 2000 DIMM Service Required Memory P0/MR0/D9 (CPU
Memory Riser 0 DIMM 9)
A failure has occurred during Memory Reference Code (MRC) DIMM module
training. (Probability:100, UUID:2a182715-983f-c4fb-e94f-b5a5b50d3650, Part
