scanning for bad ram

[Nick_Parrott at Dell.com]

It will indeed, both Single Bit errors and Multi Bit errors

 

Single bit's are ECC recoverable - so you won't see effect on
applications, multi-bit you'll probably know about..

 

Any fault that the BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) logs will be
displayed in OMSA under "Logs" > "BMC/SEL"

 

Use Dell MPmemory to test DIMMs offline, it's on the 32-bit Diagnostics
CD's. It's a modified memtest86, however memtest86 will fail immediately
as the system BIOS reserves a very small portion of memory space upon
boot

I have yet to install osma on my 1950's I know it will monitor disks but
will it monitor and report problems with ram.
