I seem to have had trouble subscribing when I tried to
post this earlier. Let's try again.
I'm now the proud new owner of a Digital Server 5000 series
with 2 533 MHz processors but no memory. All of the memory
I've tried so far has failed to work. I'm geting a couple
of errors during the power-on self-tests:
P0 FAIL 91 MEM3*
P0 FAIL 23 MEM0*
On the one hand, it's not too surprising if I need to break
down and buy some memory from someone who advertises that
their's works in this machine. But before I do, there are
a couple of things that are nagging me a bit. First, what
is test 91? I haven't found it mentioned in the documentation.
Also, why would it give an error for bank 3 when bank 0 is
the only one I have memory in? Finally, I'm not getting any
output on a serial console at all. If I read the documentation
correctly, I should see some output even if it's only getting
throught the SCONS tests.
Has anyone seen this sort of thing before? Is this really just
a memory problem and should I break down and buy the "special"
memory? Or do I have something more serious going wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Brian L. Stuart
