Not ApplicableThe version of the bios of this server is 2.3.2
According to the memory autorepair documentation[3], an PPR (Post Package Repair) is not planned if other errors are not detected.
The recommanded first action is to proceed to a reboot:
With BIOS 2.1.x or later, the first recommended step is to reboot/restart (without moving DIMMs to a different slot). This allows the new BIOS enhancements to run, potentially resolving (self-healing) the DIMM errors without the need to schedule any DIMM replacements.
It's also recommended to upgrade the bios and idrac software to improve the error detection but let this for later if the problem is still present after the reboot
