I-error messages displayed for an AMD-based blade server

I-error messages are displayed in the advanced management module event log. Use this procedure to resolve problems that cause I-error messages with Opteron-based blade servers.

Problem​

The advanced management module event log displays I-error messages for one of the Opteron-based blade servers.

Investigation​

Perform these steps to resolve the problem:
  1. For the I-error message, look at the message text:
    E       BLADE_07     08/24/06, 17:38:25 (id14c2n07) Memory disabled: DIMM number 2  
    E       BLADE_07     08/24/06, 17:38:25 (id14c2n07) Memory disabled: DIMM number 1
  2. Check to see if any of the Light Path diagnostic LEDs on the blade server are lit. See Module LEDs.
  3. If the problem is associated with the memory DIMMs, the failing memory banks on the blade server are disabled. If either of the LEDs for the blade server memory DIMMs are lit:
    1. Replace both memory DIMMs.
    2. Press F1 while restarting the blade server to bring up the POST BIOS CMOS settings.
    3. Re-enable the disabled memory bank.
