R930 Slow boot "configuring memory"
Hi all,
I have a set of R930s with 40C/1TB RAM. Despite the bios configuration being set to skip the memory test on boot, these servers sit at "Configuring memory" during the boot process for 5-10 minutes. Is this fixable? I'm afraid of the R930s with 3TB RAM taking 3x as long to boot...
All 9 of these servers take equally as long with some being marginally faster but only by 30 seconds or so.

Hello
There is nothing broken to fix. The POST and boot process initializes hardware, establishes communication, and tests functionality. Disabling memory testing will stop a full memory test from occurring, but it won't stop configuration and basic functionality testing. The more hardware that the BIOS needs to bring online the longer the POST and boot processes will take.
Thanks
