[SunHELP] U60 dud memory issue (I think?)

[hike]

They are generally labelled on the systemboard.
The schematic/systemboard layout in the Sun Engineers handbook shows the
location.
I don't know if the SE handbook is hosted on Oracle's site or not but a
Google search should help.

Memory errors may or may not point to the offending memory module/s.
Memory errors point to the module reporting the error and that may not be
the problem memory module.
When I was a Field Engineer for Sun, we were instructed to replace the
entire bank and return the suspect memory modules.
