recoverable class Fbd error(s)

Question

My server (an XServe xeon 8-core [harpertown arch]) has been spamming kernel warnings lately and I cannot seem to get any concrete information on what may be going wrong. Has anybody encountered such errors before? thanks in advance, |K<

Answer 1

Those are ECC errors. Open Server Monitor and click on the Memory tab; it should tell you which FB-DIMM(s) are bad.

(And yeah, this is not programming-related, shouldn't be on Stack Overflow...)

Answer 2

you should contact your hardware vendor for support.
