      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello.&lt;BR /&gt;According to the hardware log sent by you, it could be a problem with memory DIMMs, CPU and/or mainboard.&lt;BR /&gt;There are many such events in the log&lt;BR /&gt;read 1 correctable ECC errors on CPU1 DIMM B1&lt;BR /&gt;Processor P_CATERR #0x50&lt;BR /&gt;It is recommended in this case:&lt;BR /&gt;1. Perform a deep internal physical cleaning of the blade server (memory slot connectors, CPU heatsink, change the CPU thermal paste), this should be done by experienced technical personnel.&lt;BR /&gt;2. Update all Blade server internal firmware (Bios, Board controller, CIMC, SAS, VIC), clean the internal hardware log.&lt;BR /&gt;Anyway these two activities are healthy for your blade server.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Run the blade server and monitor the hardware log for several days, if the events related to DIMM B1 occur again, it should be changed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You could also directly replace the DIMM B1 with a DIMM from another less important blade server as a test.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
