Systems and methods include an Information Handling System (IHS) that is adapted to provide memory diagnostics for use in identifying replaceable memory modules that are starting to fail. Upon initialization of an IHS that includes replaceable memory modules, a plurality of memory device drivers are loaded for use in accessing the replaceable memory modules. Each memory device driver is adapted to support a diagnostic API (Application Programming Interface). The IHS detects memory errors resulting from attempts throughout the IHS to access the replaceable memory modules. A memory address associated with the detected memory error is determined and the diagnostic API of a memory device driver is used to identify a specific replaceable memory module as the source of the memory error.
An Information Handling System (IHS), that comprises:
A method for memory diagnostics by an Information Handling System (IHS), the method comprising:
A non-transitory storage device that comprises instructions stored thereon, wherein execution of the instructions by one or more processors of an Information Handling System (IHS) causes the one or more processors to:
