I have two L2000 HP Boxes and they have
2 Gig of RAM and I want to increase them to
4 Gig of RAM each.
How do I tell what type of memory to get?
I did an ioscan and it just said
8 memory
160 processor
166 processor
They are both dual processor 440MHZ each.
My vendor wants to know if I need a
512 board or a 1 gig board and how much
SIMM...Help I don't know how to tell...
Can someone help me here...
TIA,
Laurie

Re: How to tell type of Memory? SIMM Question
You can check it with STM. Do you have it installed?
If so, run stm and then run "Information" on the memmory.
If not, I think the only way is to shutdown your system and stop the startup. Then run inf on the memmory.
Still, the easiest way is installig the stm (OnlineDiag from Support CD).
good luck.

SolutionYou can assess the physical memory chips installed by using the Support Tools Manager (STM):
# echo "selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog"|cstm > /tmp/meminfo
From this output, you will be able to see the chips and the chip sizes installed. You will need to consult the hardware specifications to see if you need to add another memory carrier for more slots.

cstm>selclass qualifier memory;info;wait;infolog
^-- (SelClass) is currently disabled. --
Is there any other way to tell? I don't have
time to install any new products today?

Re: How to tell type of Memory? SIMM Question
The only way I know to "see" the board arrangement (and sizes) is to use the STM tool.
I would install the Online Diagnostics from the SupportPlus CDROM (or download STM from the ITRC). If I remember correctly, you no longer need to boot to affect this installation.
On the SupportPlus cdrom, you will find them under /cdrom/DIAGNOSTICS/B.11.00
If you wish, download the latest STM from here:
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B6191AAE
Sooner or later, you, or your local engineers will want STM installed.

This gives you more info than you need but will give you slot info along with other memory (RAM) info

Re: How to tell type of Memory? SIMM Question
As the others have said, you need to inventory what you have. STM or the script provided will do the job for you. I usually use the X-windows version - xstm.
Here are some memory basics for an L. It can have up to 2 memory carriers. Each carrier has 8 slots for a total of 16.
Memory is installed in pairs using 2 slots. If you install 1GB you will actually be putting in two 512MB DIMMs.
You need to find out if you have 1 or 2 carriers and how many slots are available. If you bought all 2GB DIMM pairs you can go up to 16GB total.
You can use 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB DIMM pairs in an L.
Honestly, your dealer should have been able to tell you this. If they don't know memory you should be careful with whatever else they suggest you buy.
