SC430 Memory Upgrade
Hello to all. I'm trying to upgrade my Poweredge SC430 server's memory to 4 gigs. After searching around on the net and Dell's website, they suggest to upgrade to PC-5300 @ 667MHz even though the original memory installed is PC-4200 @ 533MHz. At least that's the first thing that comes up after I put in my Service Tag number. So I went out and got 4 1gig stics of Kingston Value Ram model KVR667D2N5/1G.
BIOS system setup shows all 4 in place with a total of 4 gigs of RAM with correct speed and the rest, but after I exit BIOS to continue to boot into the OS I get the "System Halted! Memory type or speed is not supported." error.
Does that mean that SC430 server does not support that memory speed, or are there some settings or jumpers on the mother board that have to be setup in order for the system to use that memory? I've updated BIOS to the latest version 4, but that didn't help.
Has anyone seen this error and knows what's possible solution here? And if this memory is not supported, why whould it come up as an upgrade option on Dell's website?
Thank you in advace for your help.
