Re: Upgrade Memory 16GB for rp5470 problems

A module is a pair of dimms. AFAIR the maximum dimm size for this system is 1GB, hence the module is 2GB.

What modules do you have? Looks like they are not intended for this system.

Hope this helps!

Re: Upgrade Memory 16GB for rp5470 problems

hi,

you have faulty or incompatible memory installed.

A = ECC ERROR

what youve posted doesnt telll us much though.

either reduce it and build it up a module at a time to find the faulty module or if you can get to pdc(BCH) then have alook at the memory config listed here.

MA>in me

failing that log on to the gsp and post the last few error logs for us

Re: Upgrade Memory 16GB for rp5470 problems

Are all DIMMs the same type (part number)? Do you reach the boot menu? What firmware is running on this server?

Hope this helps!

Re: Upgrade Memory 16GB for rp5470 problems

44.12 is the latest, but your version is ok.

You probably have a (very) bad dimm. Try to investigate which one it is. Do you reach the start menu with all dimms installed?

Hope this helps!
