Broken memory/CPU on mw1275
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

While reimaging mw1275 went down, "racadm getsel" lists a couple of errors, but I'm unsure if the CPU error is fallout from the broken DIMM or whether both are faulty?

The server is depooled, you can power if off for maintenance at any time.

Event Timeline

I swapped the DIMM with A1, cleared SEL and powered back on. Let's see if the error returns and/or moves.

@MoritzMuehlenhoff The error has not returned, go ahead and re-install. The error was correctable, so moving and reseating may have fixed the issue.

The server has been reimaged and is currently serving production traffic without any issues, closing.
