You can review the hardware logs and run diagnostics on the memory. Single bit or correctable memory errors can occur without being reported. They only produce an error when the error rate exceeds thresholds. The system maintains a log of memory errors. The IPMI command you are using may be reporting that there are correctable memory errors reported against the modules. If you are not seeing the errors reported by our management and monitoring tools then it is not exceeding thresholds.
All those 6 servers have iDRAC9 Enterprise (v3.21.21.21).
Can i upgrade/update something to make the servers "identical" when it comes to IPMI? All servers have the same specs (same CPUs, memory, disks, controllers, etc etc).
I don't know what IPMI IDs you are referring. Those pictures are not pulling up for me. The iDRAC acts as the BMC, so updating the iDRAC to the same firmware revision should have them all respond the same. The system BIOS may also affect the enumeration. If the IDs are are not somehow static then there may not be a way to get them all enumerated the same way.

Ok @DELL-Daniel My, thanks for the explanation!
One thing that i would like to fix though is that in these 6 new M640 blades, i dont see the same IPMI-IDs presented.
From 4 of the servers i see this: https://hastebin.com/azopazoxag.rb
From the remaning 2 i see all this: https://hastebin.com/gexidataki.rb
All those 6 servers have iDRAC9 Enterprise (v3.21.21.21).
Can i upgrade/update something to make the servers "identical" when it comes to IPMI? All servers have the same specs (same CPUs, memory, disks, controllers, etc etc).
