Hello, Is it possible to turn ECC off on the PowerEdge 1950? I have servers from other manufacturer where this is possible, but I cannot find this option in the PE 1950. I'd like to test the memory with ECC turned off.
Here is Background: I have a PowerEdge 1950 (one of over 100+ identical systems) that freezes on startup. I can reimage the node fine, the freeze on startup persists. The node passes Dell Diagnostics including overnight memory testing. Nothing in the ESM log. I reseated the RAM and other components. No solution. On a lark I decided to change all 8 memory sticks.. this solved the problem! The system starts up fine. So it seems there is a bad memory module, but I have no idea which ones. I am trying to avoid the one-by-one (or batch-by-batch) testing method and I was thinking that (maybe) turning ECC off might help locate the bad module. Any ideas? - Henrik _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list Linux-PowerEdge@dell.com https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
