128-bit Advanced 

ECC mode 

disabled. For 

128-bit Advanced 

ECC, DIMMs must 

be installed in 

pairs. Pairs must 

be matched in 

size and 

geometry.

The Advanced ECC option 
was enabled in BIOS, but is 
no longer valid due to an 
unsupported memory 
configuration, possibly a 
faulty or removed memory 
module. The Advanced ECC 
setting has been disabled.

Check other messages for a 
faulty memory module. 
Reconfigure the memory 
modules for Advanced ECC 
mode. See "System Memory."

Alert! Advanced 

ECC Memory Mode 

disabled! Memory 

configuration 

does not support 

Advanced ECC 

Memory Mode.

Advanced ECC Memory 
Mode was enabled in the 
system setup program, but 
the current configuration 
does not support Advanced 
ECC Memory Mode. A 
memory module may be 
faulty.

Ensure that the memory 
modules are installed in a 
configuration that supports 
Advanced ECC Memory 
Mode. Check other system 
messages for additional 
information for possible 
causes. For memory 
configuration information, 
see "General Memory 
Module Installation 
Guidelines." If the problem 
persists, see 
"Troubleshooting System 
Memory."
