DL160 G5 RAM upgrade problems
I've bought a set of 2GB RAM modules of the type 398707-051 (RAM selling website lists them as compatible to the DL160 G5).
But the problem is, that they are only recognized as 1GB modules instead of 2 GB.
Bios is the latest version from 2010...
Is there anything I can do? And will it cause problems still running the server with these rams installed?

Re: DL160 G5 RAM upgrade problems
Hi,
Refer to the Server QuickSpecs .
I guess you have installed these dimms in Slot 1 and 3.
398707-051 = 416472-001 = 2GB PC2-5300 FBD DIMM - RoHS
If 2GB RAM is getting recognised at 1GB, possibilities are:
RAM is faulty.
BIOS configuration problem.
DIMM Slot on system board is faulty.
What you could possibly do is that:
Test these RAM on a known good working server.
Test another set of RAM on this DL160 G5 server.
Clear NVRAM from System Maintenance Switch.
Good Luck!
Thank You!
