Management Port - how to display RAM slots populated

[Gene Laoyan]

I did this before when we first fired up our 8640 but I forgot how to do it (senior moment).
Can anyone tell me how to navigate to that display from the MP?

Thanks

# echo 'scl q mem;info;wait;il;done' | cstm

OK, it gives me something like this...

Does this mean there are 32 slots/sockets for memory and we can only use 2GB sticks?

Thanks

Shalom,

Second question.

It means there are 24 free slots and 8 are occupied. You probably can use 1 GB or other sticks however, but you must do so in pairs.

From the mentioned manual:

"The servers are capable of supporting as little as 2 GB of main memory using two 1 GB DIMMs
installed on one of the cell boards and as much as 512 GB by filling all 16 DIMM slots on all four cell
boards with 8 GB DIMMs.
DIMMs must be loaded as paired sets at specific locations on the cell board. A paired set of DIMMs is
called a rank. DIMMs in a rank must be of the same capacity. DIMM load order and echelon
numbering are the same. For example, DIMM slots 0A and 0B comprise echelon 0, DIMM slots 1A
and 1B comprise echelon 1, and so on. See Table C-1 and Figure C-1 for DIMM load order and layout
on the cell board."


You can have up to 4 cells in this server - currently you have 1 installed.
Max memory is 256 GB - see
