Hello,
I have a T310 that I would like to upgrade the RAM in. It has the latest BIOS (1.11.0) and I would like to install RAM into it that I believe should be fully compatible. I have four 4GB sticks, all identical, Hynix part HMT141R7BFR4C-H9. These are dual ranked (2Rx4) 1333MHz (10600R) registered ECC modules pulled from another server with an X3430 CPU, and are known good.
From my understanding of the T310 Owner's Manual, the T310 should support two dual ranked modules at 1333MHz, per channel, with each module being up to 8GB.
However, when I install these modules in the (1,2)(3,4) configuration, the system doesn't appear to work correctly. The machine boots, the fan runs at 100% for a few seconds, then slows - but it never completes POST or boots. The iDRAC page says the machine is on and doesn't report any errors, but noting is displayed on the virtual or local console.
What's going on?
Thanks,
John M
