Memory Upgrade issues
I'm having some trouble upgrading my Proliant DL140 G3 from 8GB of RAM to 16GB of RAM. I bought 8 identical (part #/speed..etc..) 2GB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 ECC FBDIMM. I've installed all 8 chips into the 8 available memory slots. However, when I boot up, only 8GB is scanned and reported. When going into the BIOS, it also only reports 8GB of extended memory.
I have updated the BIOS to the latest and swapped the chips around, putting only 4 in at a time so that I know all of the memory chips work. Based on the layout, the memory slots go from 1-8 (with slot 1 closest to the PCI slots). It seems only slots 5-8 recognize the memory in them. I ran the HP diagnostic CD and it claims slots 1-4 are not occuppied.
Doing some research and studying the motherboard layout, slots 1-4 are associated with branch 0 and slots 5-8 are for branch 1. I'm running two Quad core Xeon E5345 running at 2.33 Ghz
BIOS settings under Advanced Chipset Control are using the default settings:
4GB PCI Hole Granularity: 256MB
Memory Branch Mode: Interleave
Branch 0 Rank Interleave: 4:1
Branch 0 Rank Sparing: Disabled
Branch 1 Rank Interleave: 4:1
Branch 1 Rank Sparing: Disabled
Enhanced x8 Detection: Enabled
Am I doing anything wrong? Could there be an issue with the motherboard?
Thanks,
Dennis

Re: Memory Upgrade issues
In the specification I see two 2GB memory part numbers (461828-B21 (Low profile) and 397413-B21). What is your?

Re: Memory Upgrade issues
I thought I did get HP memory.. Actually, now that I look at the site again, it says HP certified memory. Guess I made a false assumption that would work? Here's the site I used:
http://www.datamemorysystems.com/dms-memory/hewlett-packard/proliant-dl140-g3.htm
The chips I bought were these. I thought they were to spec?
2GB DMS Certified Memory FB DDR2-667 (PC2-5300) 256x72 CL5 1.8v 240 Pin ECC FBDIMM (Fully Buffered)
