Dell Precision T7920 - ECC disabled but seen in linux

[grape1412]

Hello, I purchased the Pro license for MemTest86 and wanted to use it on my Dell Precision T7920 to verify that ECC is actually working, but it’s still being reported as disabled. However, when I run:

dmidecode -t memory

It correctly shows that ECC is doing single-bit correction:

Handle 0x000B, DMI type 16, 23 bytes
Physical Memory Array
    Location: System Board Or Motherboard
    Use: System Memory
    Error Correction Type: Single-bit ECC
    Maximum Capacity: 2304 GB
    Error Information Handle: Not Provided
    Number Of Devices: 6​

Is there any way to enable ECC polling so I can actually test it? It seems ECC is enabled in the system, but I’d like to see it in action.

Why can't i see it enabled in the test?

Screen shot is a bit strange, as the ECC status appears to be detectable, but the status is OFF.

What model RAM are you using?

Can you post or Email us the debug log file.

I believe this is what you're looking for? I hope this is what you need. I have to setup everything to do another test. It also seemed like the memory was not in the correct DIMM slots in the GUI either. One of these I did with all the same brand NEMIX RAM 64GB (8X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ PC4-25600 1Rx8 1.2V CL22 288-PIN ECC RDIMM Registered Server Memory KIT. The next test the one that is later i did with 4 additional memory sticks that were a different brand HYNIX 8gb 1Rx8 2666.

The memory is installed per D64R and D96R below:

Thanks for the logs. I've sent a direct message with a new MemTest86 build to test.
