All 8 modules are installed, 7 of them are working though,</P><P>The problem is that I see only 4GB enabled. Other 3 are disabled.</P><P>I tried putting 4 modules into branch 1 and 2 into branch 2 (forst according to rules from product spec, then all combinations) but still board doesn't enable them.</P><P>If I swap modules between branches they work, so the problem is not in modules themselves. </P><P></P><P>How would I enable remaining memory?</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P>--Art</P> Sat, 04 Dec 2010 20:08:35 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/S5000pal-memory-disabled/m-p/230201#M1632 idata 2010-12-04T20:08:35Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Xeon-Processor-and-Server/S5000pal-memory-disabled/m-p/230202#M1633 <P>Two things to check: one, how much memory does the BIOS report, versus the OS.
