The System Event Log displays events with color-coded severity levels. The
event for the failed DIMM displays the slot number of the DIMM module that
failed.
In the following example, the error occurred on DIMM-A7, meaning that the
DIMM is located in slot A7.

5. Record the slot number of the failed NVDIMM device in the NVDIMM
information table.
Note:
If the slot number points to a regular DIMM as faulty, use the DIMM
replacement procedure instead.
6. From the Dell console main window, select System
Inventory.
7. Expand the entry for the relevant DIMM.
The console displays information regarding the DIMM you identified in the
previous steps. If an NVDIMM's battery needs to be replaced, proceed to the
task "Gracefully shut down the node."
The DIMM's PrimaryStatus should appear as Degraded.
8. Using SSH, log in to the Linux server.
9. View information for the faulty DIMM:
dmidecode --type memory | grep "Non-" -B 3 -A 3 | grep -E
'Locator|Serial' | grep -v Bank
Output similar to the following appears:
Locator: A7
Serial Number:
Locator: B7
Serial Number: 1649251B
