| Memory configuration or incompatible error
| Memory subsystem configuration activity is in progress. No memory
modules were detected.
If customer can assist to troubleshoot, narrow down the issue by
removing one by one the memory on motherboard to determine which
one failed. Also, combining the configuration to validate
appropriate combination.
If identified the component failed, replace the component.
If none of the component failed, replace the motherboard. |

7 blinks > long pause > repeats
| Possible memory failure
| Memory subsystem configuration activity is in progress. Memory
modules have been detected but appear to be incompatible or in an
invalid configuration.
If customer can assist to troubleshoot, narrow down the issue by
removing one by one the memory on motherboard to determine which
one failed.
If identified the memory failed, replace the memory.
If else, replace the motherboard. |
