T7910 - Correctable memory error - Dimm1 CPU2
Hi everyone,
I have a T7910 where all RAM DIMMs are populated with 32G ECC sticks.
I'm facing frequently the message "Correctable memory error has been detected in memory slot dimm1 CPU2".
I swtiched sticks but the error remains, so it's a solt problem (Am I wrong).
I have 2 question:
1-If I bypass the error during boot (by pressing F1), that will affect something once the OS loaded (It term of performance, shutdown possibility, ...)?
2- Is there a way to not use this slot (it's a white slot with n°1, and as I read in the manual: I should populate sticks in order and start with white ones first?
many thanks in advance.

1. It is not critical as it sounds. Correctable means the system automatically corrects the error and continues functioning. Therefore, pressing F1 to bypass will acknowledge the alert message but it does not affect system performance.
2. Correcting the issue at its root cause is better than attempt with non-support memory configurations, unless a hardware failure is identified.
Remember to clear CMOS for each test of DIMM swap. Isolate the issue using Dell Reliable Memory Technology to confirm https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000064540/precision-workstations-where-do-i-look-for-dell-reliable-memory-technology-rmt-errors-to-confirm-memory-issues-and-locations

Ok, Thanks Chino,
I will proceed by clearing CMOS, and see if the error will disappear.
