Re: Install Fails on T5240

Also note:

As a test on my T5120.  Just a heads-up, something to think about.

Installed 8 matching 4GB "Samsung M395T5160QZ4-CE66 0819" dimms in DIMM 
D0 slots (32GB) and 8 matching 4GB "Samsung M395T5160QZ4-CE66 0816" 
dimms in DIMM D1 slots (32GB).  For a total of 64GB with no errors. 
Debian 12 sees all 64GB and "show faulty" ilom cli doesn't report any 
memory error(s).

PS:

Time for me to focus on IBM Power 8 and AIX stuff now  :-)


Best of luck Jeremy.


Regards,

Tony
