Kode Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have a supermicro X8SIL-F motherboard http://www.supermicro.com/xeon_3400/Motherboard/X8SIL.cfm?IPMI=Y I currently have 2GB of memory which is 2RX8 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-hynix-server-memory-ddr3-pc3-8500-(1066mhz)-240-pin-ecc-unbuffered-cas-7-7-7-pc-apple so I checked the compatibility list http://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/memory/display.cfm?sz=4.0&mspd=1.066&mtyp=32&id=30123074929ABE9168856AF4F4BC904B&prid=81695&type=DDR3&ecc=1®=1&fbd=0 for some 4GB modules and found some of the 2nd one down here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4GB-MICRON-MT36JSZF51272PDZ-1G1F1DD-PC3-8500R-DDR3-1066MHz-ECC-8GB-16GB-MEMORY-/390754968517?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_MemoryRAM_JN&hash=item5afacfa3c5 it has come, but when I swap the memory for that the server just does a long continuous beep, which I think looking at the manual http://www.supermicro.com/manuals/motherboard/3420/MNL-1130.pdf means there is no memory installed, whereas the 2GB stick is 2RX8 these are 2RX4, is that the issue? I don't know whether I have got the wrong memory and it's not actually compatible or whether the RAM itself is knackered, any ideas? Quote Link to comment
Kode Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 At the bottom of the compatability table it says: ** Note: Supports 1-Gb and 2-Gb x8 devices only - Intel 3420 / 3400 Chipset Memory Requirements. Is that the 2RX8 and why 2RX4 doesn't work? And if so, wtf is 2RX4 memory doing on the compatability list? Or is it a case that part can come in either 2RX4 or 2RX8? Quote Link to comment
Kode Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 I think the answer to this can be found in my own thread from nearly 3.5 years ago, lol http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7687.0 So the problem is, as I thought, the memory needs to be x8 not x4, in my defence it didn't state anywhere in the listing that the stuff I got was x4, never mind, I've ordered 2 lots of http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4GB-EEC-Memory-Dell-Hynix-4GB-PC3-10600R-1333MHZ-Dimm-/251450619030?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_MemoryRAM_JN&hash=item3a8b9ff496 now (which states in the item details 2Rx8) so hopefully that will work Quote Link to comment
Mynightmare Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Did the Hynix in the 2Rx8 work out? @Kode was looking at HMT351R7BFR8C-H9 Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment
