Have you tried it with just the 8GB, I am wondering if there is a difference in the two specs and the 8GB will work fine on its own?
-----Original Message----- From: Sean Rector [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, June 12, 2009 10:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Dell PowerEdge SC1435 needing F1 to continue after RAM upgrade I've got a problem w/ the above after I installed a 8GB kit certified by Crucial to be compatible w/ the SC1435. Dell support says, "It's the RAM, stupid. You didn't buy it from us." I'm getting ready to call Crucial, but wondered if anyone had any thoughts on this or how to get the "System memory configuration is not optimal." error that precedes the F1 to continue message to "go away". I have the server set up w/ the original 2GB kit (from when server was bought) & added the 8GB kit. BIOS sees 10GB of RAM, and Windows sees 10GB of RAM. I've tried it w/ just the 8GB kit installed, and get the same error. If I go back to the 2GB only, the error goes away (of course).
