It indicates a faulty DIMM that should be replaced but from what poweredge diagnostics I read on blogs, the alert often clears and does not come back after reboots. Since it only tripped once for me, I cleared the memory errors using OMSA (dcicfg32.exe) and so far so good. share|improve this answer answered Sep 5 '13 at 14:02 AXE-Labs 6361616 This was a good move - replacement typically isn't warranted after a single occurrence, though I'd seriously consider it if the problem ever returns on that particular DIMM. –JimNim Sep 6 '13 at 14:52 Similarly, I was seeing "Single bit warning error rate exceeded" and "Single bit failure error rate exceeded" on a Linux host. These can be cleared as well but with omconfig: 'omconfig system alertlog action=clear' and 'omconfig system esmlog action=clear'. Lets hope they don't come back or its trash for the dimms. –AXE-Labs Mar 6 '14 at 20:18 Make sure you've got the latest firmware/BIOS too -- I have seen cases where these sorts of errors were spurious and "fixed" by firmware. –Wil Cooley May 19 '14 at 8:09 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote Cause of error according to Dell: "A memory device correction rate exceeded an acceptable value, a memory spare bank was activated, or a multibit ECC error occurred. The system continues to function normally (except for a multibit error). Replace the memory module identified in the message during the system's next scheduled maintenance.

Severity:Critical, Message:Memory device status is criticalMemory device location: DIMM3 Possible memory module event cause:Single bitwarning error rate exceeded,Single bit failure error rate exceeded I am just wondering if anybody has seen this error and what the solution could be. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, john.ross Like 0 Reply You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available. Posted by DELL-Abhijit P on 31 Jul 2012 10:17 Hi John.ross, The error looks like an issue with the DIMM in slot 3. You might want to call Tech support and they can help you diagnose it further.

My issue now is that my server is out of warranty. Do you know any tool - preferably from dell- that I can use to diagnose this issue? Like 0 Reply You have poste
saw that one of the memory chips (B3) had a parity error - "single-bit failure error rate exceeded". Since the server wasn't in production yet, I was able to run all the available updates. http://hardwarmotherbord.blogspot.com/2011/03/memory-error-isnt-ram.html After a reboot, the error vanished - so, problem solved, right? Wrong! A week later, the B3 memory chip was showing a parity error again. Having no updates to run, I tried a reboot. This cleared https://hahaaoao.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/single-bit-failure-error-rate-exceeded/ the error again, but I was very uncomfortable putting a server into production with a hardware problem. Dell suggested swapping memory chips to verify whether the error would follow the chip. The technician was suspecting either a error rate bad chip or a bad slot on the motherboard. After a trek to the data center and swapping the suspect B3 chip with nearby chip B5, the problem resurfaced. On the B5 chip. It looked like the problem was a faulty chip. Not a problem - Dell shipped all new RAM. After swapping out all the chips however, the same problem showed up a day later. On chip B4. The previous error following the error rate exceeded chip now seemed nothing more than a coincidence. This was getting odd. The technician asked me what memory chips I swapped & which was now showing the error. Since the issue stayed with the chip, this technician believed the CPU to be at fault & asked me to swap CPU's. After doing this, sure enough the error happened again - on the same bank of memory chips, but a different slot this time - B2. Dell replaced the motherboard, suspecting the DIMM slots were bad, and the CPU's for good measure. No go. The problem happened yet again a few days later. My server's problem was escalated. This was getting very odd. The next technician, looking at the DSET that I sent earlier, asked me to change a BIOS setting involving power saving features for the CPU. The idea was that since the server was not under a production load, when it was idle overnight one of the CPU's was put in a low power state. If a network request or anything else came in while the CPU was in this state, and since the memory controller was built in to the CPU's on this server, any requests involving the CPU would be held in the memory controller until the CPU could 'wake up'. It could be that th
the following error in the event log: "Single bit warning error rate exceeded,Single bit failure error rate exceeded" from the research that I did it basically means that the data and/or ECC bits on the DIMM are incorrect, but the error will not continue to occur once the data and/or ECC bits on the DIMM have been corrected. what you should do is the following: 1). upgrade all the Firmware/Bios on the server 2). call Dell to get that memory replaced.

I got a similar error on a server, rebooted it, and ran a memory diagnostic for days without a repeat of the error. No trackbacks yet. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Enter your comment here...
