EDAC errors

[doop]

I received my HP DL380 G6 yesterday.In the kernel log there are lots of EDAC errors. I tried swapping the faulty one with one from the other processor. It still says "Status: DIMM is degraded" Does this mean the RAM is busted? Is there anything else I can try? Change some setting maybe. I tried upgrading BIOS (P62 10/01/2009), but HP didn't want me to download the new one

Have you ran memtest86 on it yet?

 

[doop]

I started memtest now. It looks happy, but it runs very slow. I'm not sure what the text on the bottom means. The DIMM light is also yellow.

 

[doop]

What is the best configuration I can use if I remove the faulty DIMM? Can I do 11 DIMMs?
