Hi all,
I have a query about adding memory to a dual-processor Sun Fire V240. I
have looked at the related documents (handbooks on SunSolve), but could
still do with some clarification. If anyone could clear this up, it
would be much appreciated - as usual, I will provide a summary.
The server currently has 4Gb, made up of 512Mb DIMMS in all 8 sockets.
The plan is to leave 2 Gbs of this in place, and add 4x 1Gb DIMMS to
take the total to 6Gb. As each CPU has 4 sockets available, The layout
for each CPU will look like :
512Mb DIMM
512Mb DIMM
1Gb DIMM
1Gb DIMM
However, the Sun handbook for the server says "DIMMS must be identical"
and "Do not mix DIMM capacities". It is not clear whether this refers to
the system as a whole, each CPU, socket or bank. Could anyone who has
upgraded their memory confirm whether this configuration will work ?
Many thanks in advance,
-Mark
