4. Enter the location, where debug information is to be written, in the text box.
When writing debug information under the file name "MEMORY.DMP" in the D drive:
D:\MEMORY.DMP
IMPORTANT:
 [Complete memory dump] should be specified for writing debug information.
However, if the mounted memory size is over 2GB, specify [Kernel Memory
Dump]; you cannot specify [Complete memory dump].Quick dump function is
enabled when specifying the [Complete memory dump]. If you specify the setting
other than the [Complete memory dump], the dump function for OS standard
works.
 Specify a drive which has a free space of the size of memory in the NEC
Express5800/ft series + 12MB or more (If the memory size is over 2GB, 2048MB
+ 12MB).
 If the memory will be expanded to larger than 2 GB, change Write Debugging
Information to [Kernel Memory Dump] before expanding the memory. Size of the
debugging information (memory dump) to be collected will change due to memory
increase. Check how much free space the hard disk to which debugging
information is written has.
 Perform the steps below to change your memory dump setting, if a total memory
capacity exceeds 2GB after additional memory has been installed in the system
with complete memory dump enabled. If the setting is not changed, incorrect
dump files may be collected.
1) Go to [Control Panel], click [System], and then click [Advanced] to open the
[Startup and Recovery] dialog box. Choose “Small memory dump” and click [OK].
2) Return the setting to “Kernel memory dump” and click [OK].
 In the system failure settings, it is recommended to specify “Automatically
restart.” When this option is not selected, the operation cannot be switched to the
disks that are mirrored if the system cannot be started due to a disk error.
