Hello Admin Wizards,
offtopic question, but I expect some knowledge of these dinosaurs in
here ....
Since my old mirror system got busted by a currency problem, I need to
reactivate the even older one until we can afford a new solution (and
that will take some months - too much risk to go so long without a
fallback system).
Now the elder server - a standalone DEC Alpha 1000 / 256 (?), this big
grey chest with the built in drive array - works pretty fine and I got
it running. But it has only 64 MBs built in (4x16 MB on bank 0)
The system has 4 Mem banks, 4 slots per bank, for 72-pin mem bars, and 1
slot for the extra ecc chip per bank.
Even worse, the documentation of this precious is gone with the wind,
probably dumped by our secretary while doing a cleanup in the office ...
well, question is:
What kind of memory do I need to upgrade to at least 128 (better 256) MB
RAM? Is the use of ECC-Chips (one per bank, 4 slots per bank, 72-pin mem
bars) necessary? In my spare part inventory, I have found one 64 MB chip
that would fit, but can I use one of them alone?
sorry for the dull question - but it is important for me to get the
mirror running within this week ...
thanx for any answer
