I swapped DIMM in A5 with DIMM in B5 to see if the error follows the DIMM. Cleared the log

I checked the log today and the error has not returned.

Ok I'll take a stab at another imaging today and see how it goes, thanks!

First attempt to reboot for PXE install stops now with:

UEFI0339: The Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM) in the memory slot B5 is
disabled because of initialization errors caused by uncorrectable memory
errors, invalid configuration, and others.
Check the System Event Log (SEL) or the Lifecycle Controller Log and replace
the identified DIMM.

UEFI0058: Uncorrectable Memory Error has occurred because a Dual Inline Memory
Module (DIMM) is not functioning.
Check the System Event Log (SEL) to identify the non-functioning DIMM, and then
replace it.

Created a self dispatch with Dell for a new DIMM.

@BBlack The DIMM has been replaced with new, please resolve task once satisified
