IBM eServer 336 memory problem
IBM eServer 336 memory problem
(OP)
Hi
I have eServer 336 8837 and i have memory problem with it.
Well let me tell you my problem.
My server support 16Gb ram on 8 slots.
And with 2Gb ram on one slot max. So i have buy more then 8GB ram.
But when i install in slot 8GB ram (4x2GB) then my server work as it should.
When i add 2 more i mean in slot 5 and 6 then my server wont start.
But i use all the same memory and i tested it. I never before have IBM server
so please i need help what to do. And how to install all 16GB memory.
I am thinking that in system board must be some kind of jumper or something, but
i cannot find it.

RE: IBM eServer 336 memory problem
Type: 2-way interleaved PC3200, 400 MHz, ECC DDR II SDRAM, registered DIMMs only
I would make sure they are all ECC and registered DIMMs.
Second thought - Is there a BIOS update. Newer BIOS often include support for more memory or larger DIMMs.

"The parts we currently offer do not support chipkill. However, these parts are fully compatible with this server.Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules.Installed in pairs of modules."

Yes, it would be best if the memory were 100% alike - all ECC and chipkill variety.

But i look all this and all this is good.
I think as i read now my bios is really old
and i think i will change it first then see how will work.
Because all memory are the same and 4 pair work only 6 pair
dont work and its always the same wich memory i add in.
But alaways i use EEC and reg. one with the same speed and
the same memory.
I will be post when i change bios.
Tnx again

Thank you for your help, but i dont have any
led wich is showing that any memory stick is broke,
because i test all before, but now all togethere.
My problem is that when i install all 3 or 4 pair
(they are totaly the same and IBM one) my server
only make noise 3 times (3 times bip) and then ventilators
run and monitor is black and no error message and nothing on
monitor.
If you mybe know where i can get new version of BIOS and some
tutorial i will be so happy.
Thank you so much
