1. Download and Install Dell OpenManage for Windows. You will only need command line toolsat this point, Web-based management tools \/ SNMP tools can wait.<\/p>\n
2. After installing Dell OpenManage go to Windows command line and paste (and push enter) this command to see your DIMMs status:<\/p>\n
\nomreport chassis memory<\/p>\n
The result should be similar to:<\/p>\n
Memory Information<\/p>\n
Health : Critical<\/p>\n
Memory Redundancy<\/p>\n
Fail Over State : Inactive
\nRedundancy Configuration : Disabled<\/p>\n
Attributes of Memory Array(s)<\/p>\n

\nInstalled Capacity : 16384 MB
\nMaximum Capacity : 65280 MB
\nSlots Available : 8
\nSlots Used : 8
\nError Correction : Multibit ECC<\/p>\n
Total of Memory Array(s)
\nTotal Installed Capacity : 16384 MB
\nTotal Installed Capacity Available to the OS : 16046 MB
\nTotal Maximum Capacity : 65280 MB<\/p>\n
Details of Memory Array 1
\nIndex : 0
\nStatus : Critical
\nConnector Name : DIMM1
\nType : DDR2 FB-DIMM - Synchronous
\nSize : 2048 MB<\/p>\n
Index : 1
\nStatus : Ok
\nConnector Name : DIMM2
\nType : DDR2 FB-DIMM - Synchronous
\nSize : 2048 MB<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Index : 7
\nStatus : Ok
\nConnector Name : DIMM8
\nType : DDR2 FB-DIMM - Synchronous
\nSize : 2048 MB<\/p>\n
If you don\u2019t see any errors (it could take some time for errors to appear there), you could also check your System Events Log (SEL) by running the following command:<\/p>\n
racadm getsel<\/p>\n
3. Change your current directory to c:\\Program Files\\Dell\\SysMgt\\omsa\\bin:<\/p>\n
cd c:\\Program Files\\Dell\\SysMgt\\omsa\\bin<\/p>\n
4. Run the following command to reset ECC errors counters:<\/p>\n
dcicfg32 command=clearmemfailures<\/p>\n
It should print:<\/p>\n
clearing failures using mask: 31<\/p>\n
DIMM1 : ok
\nDIMM2 : ok
\nDIMM3 : ok
\nDIMM4 : ok
\nDIMM5 : ok
\nDIMM6 : ok
\nDIMM7 : ok
\nDIMM8 : ok<\/p>\n
5. Run the following command to check if everything OK:<\/p>\n
omreport chassis<\/p>\n
The result should be similar to:<\/p>\n
Main System Chassis<\/p>\n
SEVERITY : COMPONENT
\nOk : Fans
\nOk : Intrusion
\nOk : Memory
\nOk : Power Supplies
\nOk : Processors
\nOk : Temperatures
\nOk : Voltages
\nOk : Hardware Log
\nOk : Batteries<\/p>\n
6. To clear your system events log, run the following command:<\/p>\n
racadm clrsel<\/p>\n
That's it! Errors have been cleared, but it doesn't guarantee that they will not appear again. Basically, these steps do nothing but reset the error counters to their initial value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
