Re: Install Fails on T5240

[Tony Rodriguez <unixpro1970@gmail.com>]

Typically, I agree. However, Samsung dimms "Samsung M395T5160QZ4-CE66 
0819"  and "Samsung M395T5160QZ4-CE66 0816" both work on my end (without 
any errors), provided they are all the same type/revision and no mixing 
between them.  I also installed sets of 8 or 16 (each dimm is 4GB and 
1.8v.) .


Agreed, best to avoid going into that rabbit hole mixing dimms 
capacities and types (especially on sparc hardware).  Keep it simple 
principal :-)


Regards,

Tony
