Memory Device Messages
Memory device messages listed in Table 2-10 provide status and warning
information for memory modules present in a particular system. Memory
devices determine health status by monitoring the ECC memory correction
rate and the type of memory events that have occurred.
NOTE: A critical status does not always indicate a system failure or loss of data.
In some instances, the system has exceeded the ECC correction rate. Although
the system continues to function, you should perform system maintenance as
described in Table 2-9.
NOTE: In Table 2-9, <status> can be either critical or non-critical.
