I've the following problem:
Today I installed two identical DL380 G3servers with Windows 2003 Server Enterprise.
The servers contains 6144MB memory. The selftest and bios displays 6144MB. Windows 2003 Server Enterprise displays only 3584MB memory on both servers. Insight management displays 3349000KB of memory.
Need some help.
Thanx,
Roger

Re: Lost some memory on a DL380 G3
So you could change the memory setting in the BIOS to be able to use it all.
According to your math, that would still leave about 512 MB unaccounted for, but that's probably some kind of memory shadowing being used for BIOS (just a guess).
So if you need all 6 GB, just change the setting in BIOS.
Thanks,
Doug

SolutionCheck to see if online spare is configured.
To enable windows to see over 4GB the /PAE switch has to be used in the boot.ini.
Hot plug PCI will also utilize some of the RAM. If not required disable it from the RBSU (F9)

Re: Lost some memory on a DL380 G3
I took a view at the Rbsu but can't find the option. I do the following:
Start server, Press F9, System Option, Advanced Memory Protection. The only options i've seen are, Advanced ECC support and Online spare with ECC support.
This options does't resolve my problem. Need a little bit more help. I think the answer is almost there.

Re: Lost some memory on a DL380 G3
if you have already set /PAE switch in your boot.ini ( which enables 32 bit windows O/S to "see" more than 4 GB memory), you please disable online spare memory support in APM option of RBSU.

Re: Lost some memory on a DL380 G3
The processor of my DL380 G3 is 32bits.
2^32= 4294967296bits = 4096Mbits. So that this is the limit of the memory. I discover that it's not possible to create a pagefile larger 4096Mb on my new DL380G3.
Is there a manner to use the full 6144Mb memory?

Re: Lost some memory on a DL380 G3
the logic used in your last thread would be right and thats why you need to add /PAE for Physical Address Extension which allows 32 bit Windows to use more than 4GB ram.
As suggested in the previous replies, please modify the boot.ini appending the /PAE switch in the end and reboot.
This should solve your problem
Yes, the max sixe of pagefile on Windows is 4096 but then you could setup multiple pagefile.sys on different volumes/partition if you needed a larger pagefile.
Hope it was of help and could you please assign points to the replies.
