Yes, that worked:

```
[  436.584741] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged
[  436.590638] [Hardware Error]: Corrected error, no action required.

Code: 0, DRAM ECC error.
[  436.628942] [Hardware Error]: cache level: L3/GEN, tx: GEN, mem-tx: RD
```

It says “no action required”, but out of the identical 14 servers with 
the same workload this is the only one having shown this errors three times.

Maybe the DIMM at bank 17 should just be replaced.

Kind regards,
