How to Test the System with One and Four Memory Modules

Updating the firmware of an Intel® Server System. The system has the factory firmware and shows an alert requesting for an update.

Please try the following suggestion to verify if the issue only happens with one specific processor and/or with one or the four memory modules used in that processor.

1.  Install one processor in CPU 1 socket (located away of the power supply) only, then, install one memory module in DIMM A1 of that processor socket, test the system.
2. Install the remaining memory modules in DIMMs A1, B1, D1 and E1 of that processor socket, test the system.
3. Swap the processor, repeat step 1 and 2.
