How does one identify if there ram is HP or other then HP ram? Sys_Info does not and neither does stm. Please advise.

Open the box and look. The whole idea or 3rd-party RAM is that it's compatible and thus indistinguishable to the system.

Hi John,

You could try the bch prompt

otherwise you will have to open the box and physical check the DIMM's.

Hope this helps,
Robert-Jan

Shalom John,

cstm will show you what is where. I don't think there is a way to make the system identify the manufacturer of the ram.

My usual approach in this case is to shut down the box and look inside.

There really isn't much point in identifying the manufacturer anyway.

I appreciate the posting and I too knew these suggestions was just wondering if there was a syntax for this. Thank again.
