Dell R710 Mem ECC Warning: Memory sensor, transition to critical from less severe

delldell-poweredge

I purchased a DELL R710 Server, and it consistently produces memory error warnings:

"Normal","Tue Jan 18 2011
03:46:33","System Board SEL: Event Log
sensor for System Board, log cleared
was asserted"

"Warning","Tue Jan 18 2011
23:43:01","Mem ECC Warning: Memory
sensor, transition to non-critical
from OK ( DIMM_B4 ) was asserted"

"Critical","Tue Jan 18 2011
23:43:02","Mem ECC Warning: Memory
sensor, transition to critical from
less severe ( DIMM_B4 ) was asserted"

I've reseated the DIMM's and event exchanged a whole server (i.e., got a whole new one, with new DIMMs), and the errors still occur.

The DIMMs are Hynix, which are not factory default Dell DIMMs, so I suspect them. Any advice/pointers would be much appreciated.

If you've replaced the entire server from Dell, then it has to be your RAM - that's the only variable you haven't eliminated.

I'm surprised Dell issued you an RMA without forcing you to change the RAM in the first place.
