Dell R710 Hardware Diagnostics Errors
I ran a hardware diagnostic test on my system, and got these error messages:
- System firmware: memory sensor (Mem ECC warning) transition to critical from less severe, DIMM_B2
- System firmware: memory sensor (Mem ECC warning) transition to non-critical from OK, DIMM_B2
- Msg: IPMI ... processor: Processor sensor (Status) IERR "CPU2"
- Uncorrectable ECC error, DIMM_A6
- System firmware: memory sensor (Mem ECC warning) transition to non-critical from OK, DIMM_A6
- System firmware: memory sensor (Mem ECC warning) transition to non-critical from OK, DIMM_A2

Ok.. several memory error messages.
There are 2 kinds of memory errors: Correctables and Uncorrectables. The first one are ok, it's normal DIMM behaviour. The problem is when you get too many correctable errors or an uncorrectable error. Then might mean the DIMM is faulty.
Frist thing you should do is to make sure your BIOS firmware is updated. Newest BIOS increased the memory error threesold.
Second, you can perform the test again. If the error still appears you need to discard if it is a DIMM module error or a motherboard error. In order to do that you can swap modules and check for errors.
Regards.
