BL460c G6 memory issues with 2Gb DIMMs
and have a lot of 2Gb DIMMs available which were installed before.
However when i tried to build a test server i packed it with 12x2Gb DIMMs but all i get is a beep and a server red light is blinking.
I've tried with different 2Gb DIMMS and no matter if i just use 1 or 2 or 6 or all twelve i get same result.
Now if i put 4Gb DIMMs into the blade it powers up fine and no problems.
I probably went through about 40 2Gb DIMMs and no luck, that tells me its not the RAM issue but the firmware/bios/... or what could it be.
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Hani

Re: BL460c G6 memory issues with 2Gb DIMMs
could you indicate what the 2Gb models are (PC3-10600R, PC3-10600E, PC3-8500R etc...) and what is the chip manufacturer. Did you verify that all modules are the same type registered or unbuffered.
As you had no problems before using all these Dimms on the same server model, you should check what difference you have between your production and test servers.
You could have a hardware issue on the test server but before you need to check the system rom version and ensure it is at least the same revision that on your production servers. Also do you have any indication in the server IML ?
regards

Page 28, and verify that they're all either RDIMM or UDIMM modules.
(They can't be mixed)

Re: BL460c G6 memory issues with 2Gb DIMMs
these RAM DIMMs are the original ones we've got when we purchased the blades, they are HP branded but the other sticker says hynix 2Gb 2Rx8 PC3 - 10600E - 10 - E0.
HP part number 500209-061.
last week i tried to erase NVRAM when i put 6of these in and the server turned on, but when i upgraded to all 12 it went to the same state again, i can't get any video via iLO and the red LED is blinking on the server.
I tried to put the original 6 ones in and cleared the NVRAM again and nothing.
i tried this with over 40 DIMMs.
i can't imagine all of my dimms are dead.
there's gotta be an explanation.Thank you

Re: BL460c G6 memory issues with 2Gb DIMMs
The BL460c G6 blades are running fine, but when I power off the blade, remove the blade from the C7000 enclosure and reinsert the blade in a C7000 enclosure the blade won't boot properly. The iLO screen stays black and the C7000 active cooling fan keeps running on full speed. After a while the IML log reports uncorrected memory errors on DIMMS.
Replacing the DIMMS corrects the problem, however this has happened to me with already 5 blades. We are currently reseating blades through multiple C7000 enclosures but I have stopped this project until this matter is clear. All DIMM's with errors are of type Hynix (Korea 07) 2Gb 2Rx8 PC3 - 10600E.

Re: BL460c G6 memory issues with 2Gb DIMMs
Lando - I don't believe this is you're problem as this was an issue and a resolution put into place well before the G7's were released.
