301-Hard Disk 1: SMART Hard Drive Detects
Imminent Failure
Description
BIOS information passed to the MEBx resulted
in a failure.
MEBx operation experienced a hardware error
during communication with the ME.
Front audio cable has been detached or
unseated from system board.
Memory amount has changed since the last
boot (memory added or removed).
Memory module configuration failed during
boot up.
A memory module in memory socket identified
in the error message is missing critical SPD
information, or is incompatible with the chipset.
The current memory configuration is not
optimized.
Recently added memory module(s) support ECC
memory error correction.
DIMM1 is not installed.
The storage device configuration will be
updated as shown.
Hard drive is about to fail. (Some hard drives
have a hard drive firmware patch that will fix an
erroneous error message.)
Recommended action
1.
Reboot the computer.
2.
If the error persists, update to the latest
BIOS version.
3.
If the error still persists, replace the
system board.
1.
Reboot the computer.
2.
If the error persists, update to the latest
BIOS version.
3.
If the error still persists, replace the
system board.
Reconnect or replace front audio cable.
The system memory size is different from the
last startup. The most common reason is the
removal of memory from the system board.
Press the
F1
key to save the memory changes.
If this message persists, verify that the
memory modules are installed correctly.
1.
Ensure memory modules are correctly
installed.
2.
Verify proper memory module type.
3.
Remove and replace the identified faulty
memory module(s).
4.
If the error persists after replacing
memory modules, replace the system
board.
1.
Verify proper memory module type.
2.
Try another memory socket.
3.
Replace with a supported module.
Rearrange the DIMMs so that each channel has
the same amount of memory.
1.
If additional memory was recently added,
remove it to see if the problem remains.
2.
Check product documentation for
memory support information.
Make sure there is a memory module in the
DIMM1 socket and that it is properly seated.
Not applicable
1.
Determine if hard drive is giving correct
error message. Run the Drive Protection
System test under using F2 Diagnostics
when booting the computer.
2.
Apply hard drive firmware patch
if applicable. (Available at
