I really don't think it's diagnostics, as it's showing one of the original memory modules and one of the new ones, being in error. and from what I've read elsewhere, this is not uncommon if they are not put in the correct order... thus the reason for my question here.
Multi-bit memory errors indicate a hardware failure with the related DIMMs, not a configuration error. Errors can look misleading sometimes when there is problem with one DIMM in a channel. It can sometimes look like a larger issue. You can certainly troubleshoot this. I'd recommend removing all memory from the server and installing a DIMM in A1 only (in a single proc configuration, B1 as well, if dual proc config). You can cycle through all of your DIMMs to test each individually. As for memory configurations, I would refer you to the manual. There isn't enough information in your post to tell if there is a config issue. Pages 116-120 of the manual should provide the info you need.
