Cause

This problem is due to using a pair of DIMMs that have the same Manufacturer's Part Number but different JEDEC ID codes programmed in the SPD data.

This error does not remove the memory from use but it does stop the system from booting automatically when "auto-boot?" is set to true.

Solution

Resolution
This issue is fixed with OBP 4.22.23 or later OBP 4.22.23 is contained in patch 121683-04

Relief/Workaround
There is no workaround, the only fix is to have OBP at 4.22.23 or higher.
