Hello upceo,

I hope this information will be helpful.  Dell PowerEdge BIOS updates will change the "Correctable Error Logging" BIOS setting to disabled by default.  This BIOS option can be re-enabled for customers wanting to continue to see correctable memory threshold events.  : https://dell.to/3Q6JYly

Hi Dell-Charles R,

Thanks for the reply. If the "Correctable Error Logging" BIOS setting is disabled by default, does that mean the correctable errors could be ignored?  I can not reboot the servers often.

After how many correctable errors is it an alter to replace the DIMM as it might be an indication of the Dimm module failure?

Thanks

Hi,

correctable errors could be ignored you could only try to update your firmware to reduce these failures.

Regards Martin

Hi Dell-Martin S,

I see, please don't mind if I ask for clarity . My concern is 

If there are high number of correctable errors happening too fast, don't they get converted into un correctable error at some time which can cause a crash or data corruption ?

Upceo,

That wouldn't be the case, if you have a large string of correctable ECC errors that hit to where there is a response, the response would be that the logging of the errors is suspended, until cleared. As Martin stated though, keeping the server updated will minimize the occurrence.
