Identify and note the location of the failed DIMM by pressing the Fault Remind

See Using the Server Fault Remind Button.
Failed DIMMs are identified with a corresponding amber LED on the motherboard.

If the DIMM Fault LED is off, then the DIMM is operating properly.

If the DIMM Fault LED is on (amber), then the DIMM is failed and must be replaced [1].

Rotate both DIMM slot ejectors outward as far as they will go.
The DIMM is partially ejected from the slot.
