Troubleshooting Your System

13 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 47.

NOTE:

Several configurations for the memory modules exist; see "Memory Module

Installation Guidelines" on page 75.

14 If a diagnostic test or error message indicates a specific memory module as

faulty, swap or replace the module. Otherwise, swap the memory module
in the first DIMM socket with a module of the same type and capacity that
is known to be good. See "Installing a Memory Module" on page 77.

15 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 47.
16 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet, and turn on the system and

attached peripherals.

17 As the system boots, observe any error message that appears and the

diagnostic indicators on the front of the system.

18 If the memory problem is still indicated, repeat step 12 through step 17 for

each memory module installed.

If the problem persists, see "Getting Help" on page 137.
