PE 2950 III & Adding Memory
Hello,
We have a PE 2950 III running 32GB (4GBx8) of memory. It's my understanding that the PE 2950 III will support a maximum of 64GB memory. We purchased 6x8GB of the appropriate memory type, however when I remove what we have and add the new memory (filling 6 of the 8 slots), I get nothing on boot - no beep codes, nothing on the screen at all. Can anyone shine some light on how and where I might be going wrong here?
Many Thanks.
Hi -
No relative message on the front LCD panel ... the memory we picked up is "8GB DDR2-667 Fully Buffered ECC". Interesting, we also tried using the six new modules and 2 of our original 4GB modules, for a total of 8 banks filled ... no go on that, same results. We also tried 4 of the new modules and 4 of our original modules - same results.
Thank you.
Here is the link to the information update document:

It says it only supports 8x4 or 8x8

Do you get a message on the front LCD panel? The 2950 does not support a 6-DIMM configuration - must be 2,4, or 8 DIMMs. What are the specs of the memory you purchased?
