If there is still no error beep, try to turn on the system again with only one processor installed in CPU Socket#1. If there is still no error beep, replace the motherboard. • there are error beeps, clear the CMOS settings by unplugging the power If cord and contacting both pads on the CMOS Clear Jumper (JBT1). (Refer to Section 2-8 in Chapter 2. ) 2. Remove all components from the motherboard, especially the DIMM modules. Make sure that the system's power is on, and memory error beeps are activated. 3.

Losing the System’s Setup Configuration 1. Make sure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 2-7 for details on recommended power supplies. 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.

It is strongly recommended that you use the same RAM speed for all DIMMs in the system. 3. Make sure that you are using the correct type of Registered (RDIMM)/Load Reduced /(LRDIMM)/Non-Volatile (NVDIMM) ECC or Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC/Non-ECC DIMM modules recommended by the manufacturer. 4. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping a single module among all memory slots and check the results. 5. Make sure that all memory modules are fully seated in their slots. Follow the instructions given in Section 2-4 in Chapter 2. 6. Please follow the instructions given in the DIMM Population Tables listed in Section 2-4 to install your memory modules.
