Complete the following steps:

  1. If the node has recently been installed, moved, serviced, or upgraded, verify that the DIMM is properly seated and visually verify that there is no foreign material in any DIMM connector on that memory channel. If either of these conditions is found, correct and retry with the same DIMM. (Note: Event Log may contain a recent 00580A4 event denoting detected change in DIMM population that could be related to this problem.)
  2. If no problem is observed on the DIMM connectors or the problem persists, replace the DIMM identified by LightPath and/or event log entry.
  3. If problem re-occurs on the same DIMM connector, replace the other DIMMs on the same memory channel.
  4. Check IBM Support website for an applicable service bulletin or firmware update that applies to this memory error.
  5. (Trained service technician only) If problem re-occurs on the same DIMM connector, inspect connector for damage. If found, replace system board.
  6. (Trained service technician only) Replace affected Processor.
  7. (Trained service technician only) Replace system board.
