RAM Bank Setup Question

Hi Folks,
A while ago some kind person posted a message about the posistioning of my RAM modules to get the most out of my MacPro.
I have upgraded again and would like some more advice,
The Upper BANK A i have 2 * 1GB Modules
The Lower BANK B i have 4 * 512M Modules
In order to gain the most from the system i have order a further 2 * 1GB modules for the remaining slots in BANK A.
I assume that will create the best setup to maxmise performance as per the Apple recomendations?
Thanks in advance.

Dont follow sorry,
Current Setup
Riser A1/2 - 2 x 1GB
Riser B1/2/3/4 - 4 x 512MB
Are you proposing this setup after my 2*1GB arrives?
Riser A1/2 - 2 x 1GB 3/4 2 x 512MB
Riser B1/2 - 2 x 1GB 3/4 2 x 512MB
Or this one
Riser A1/2 - 2 x 1GB 3/4 2 x 1GB
Riser B1/2/3/4 - 4 x 512MB
Thanks in advance just want to get the memory setup correctly, Cheers

  • External Bank Setup and Bank Reconciliation Issue

    Hello Friends!
    I have a question regarding external bank setup in the Banking module of PeopleSoft. Peoplebooks say that you have to define your external bank accounts so that there are no duplicate general ledger business unit and general ledger account combinations. This will cause issues during Bank Reconciliation. Does anyone know what knid of issues are faced? We are actually planning to use one cash account for all banks for a GLBU. But along with every account there is another chartfield so even if the cash account is the same for a GLBU, the combination of account and the other chartfield will be unique. Will this work for bank to book reconciliation?
    Thank you in advance!

    You can go to Administration> System Initialisation>Company details> basic initialisation> (check) Bank Processing.
    Also, you need to do a few set ups before you start using the bank statement facility. You can find this in SET Up> Banking> Bank Statement Processing.
    When you check this, you would be able to see the Bank Statement Processing Form in the banking module.
    all the information that you might need for the Bank Statement Processing for versions A and B can be found in the Portal under the following path:
    SAP Portal -> Support -> Documentation Resource Center -> Modules and Features -> Bank Statement Processing (BSP)
    Hope the documentation helps you.

  • HT1547 How do I repair RAM banks?

    System,
    Mac BookPro i7, 2.66 intel
    late 09/early10
    Samsung 5ooG SSD
    16G RAM
    Symptom,
    System freeze as audio loops or skipps, followed by 3 beeps then auto shut down
    30% of the time it restarts after showing grey multi language screen.
    60% of the time I can get things back up by pulling out then reseating RAM
    Movement dosen't seem to effect things either way as it fails sometimes just sitting
    there, and sometimes after being in transit, there is no one action that initates failure.
    Same problem before and after ROM & RAM upgrades.
    Troubleshoot,
    RAM itself confirmed good. New SSD seems good. OS seems good, while operating
    properly all ports & DVD nominal
    Suspected problem,
    RAM bank faliure, pin connection failure.
    Question,
    The only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling the OS, Is there any reason to think this is a
    OS problem?
    Any thoughts anyone??

    I agree with Ralph having Apple check it, I have heard the best RAM tests available at home are not that much compared to what the big companies have in the arsenal.
    Corsair is a good reputable company but RAM is such an insanely precise thing to get right, which is why all the trustworthy RAM companies have lifetime exchange warranties on their RAM. Even they know it isn't enough to be the best RAM company, mistakes slip through.
    I never buy RAM from Apple and most of the time it's great and I saved money, and the rest of the times I exchange the chips for ones that don't crash.

  • No RAM banks passed memory testing?

    I was running Firefox and everything froze up, even the mouse was stuck. I tried to force quit, but it didn't work. So, I turned the computer off, and when I tried to restart I get nothing. The fans start up, but the screen remains black and I hear 3 loud beeps.
    I looked this up and it means *no RAM banks passed memory testing*. I have no idea what that means, but I need to fix it ASAP since all my schoolwork is on this computer. With limited computer knowledge, is there a way I can fix this myself? (i.e., mashing special sequences of keys while putting my feet behind my head and chanting OM?)
    The nearest Apple store is soo far away... This has never happened before, and I haven't had any problems since I bought the thing almost 3 years ago.
    Maybe I'm just due?

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    First, remove anything attached externally to your Powerbook.
    Reset your PMU: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    Next, reset PRAM: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Can you boot now?
    If not, next you should reseat (take it out and put it back in) the memory. Can you boot now?
    Next, you can try replacing the memory (take both out if you have 2 and get one replacement to see if it works). Can you boot now?
    If these steps didn't work, this is likely a logic board issue. There are some vendors who will repair the memory slots, or Apple will replace the logic board (Apple doesn't repair your logic board). Some Apple stores have a flat rate (around $325+) to repair anything wrong with your Powerbook.
    If may be that an Apple Authorized Service Provider is closer to you, which you can find at http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/

  • LoginModule with JAAS, setup question for Frank Nimphius

    Hi Frank,
    i am trying to use a custom LoginModule in conjuction with the setup procedure in your "J2EE Security in Oracle ADF Web Applications" white paper. Have you done this before? can you provide roadmap for additional/alternate setup steps needed to use a LoginModule?
    this is my original post from early this week:
    JAAS Setup question
    thanks,
    brenden

    Brenden,
    please refer to the OC4J security documentation which si a part of the Oracle Application Server documentation that can be looked up online here on OTN. Custom LoginModule configurations require OC4J 9.0.4. In addition, this feature also only works with the jazn-data.xml provider and not with OID.
    From the perspective of this whitepaper, the LoginModule will be used by the OC4J container to authenticate users and thus should not require any change in teh paper.
    I haven't yet had the time created an example and document that showcases how to do this. Hopefully christmas will give me some rest to look into this.

  • Why is one of my ram bank not working on my iMac?

    I have an iMac purchased in 2008 equipped with one Hynix 1GB PC2-6400-ddr2-800MHZ ram. I have two ram banks. I wanted to upgrade the ram and purchased 2 Crucial DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHZ ram bars. When I insert one of the Crucial bar in the ram bank occupied by the old ram, it works. But when I insert the second Crucial bar in the second bank, I hear the usual starting chime, but then it doesn't go any further and the screen stays black. I tried and re-tried to insert the bar, but always get the same problem. Any idea what causes the problem?

    Try with one crucial module and your original Hynix module. Does it start? Swap Crucial modules and try again. If it starts with one module and not the other you got a bad module from Crucial. If that's the case they have a lifetime warranty and great customer service.
    If after trying different combinations in different slots you isolate it to a bad ram slot then you're looking at a bigger problem. Believe it or not ram slots can fail, even if they've never been used. The heat inside an iMac alone could cause solder joints to fail and render a slot useless.

  • Lenovo G50-30 RAM Bank Problem

    Okay so I purchase an additional 4GB of RAM to stick into the laptop as i've read there are 2 RAM slots available. Ran a Speccy scan - also said 2 memory slots with 1 free memory slot. After taking off the back cover, I see Slot B is already in use with 4GB of RAM. There is a Slot A empty. But there is no bank to stick the RAM into. There is only a bank in Slot B - which would be the slot furtherest north directly on top of Slot A. Now why are there two slots but only one bank? Is there somewhere else that can take the extra RAM? Or so I just return for a 8GB piece of RAM? I've read on numerous sites that this laptop has two slots. But seems only one is capable of having RAM inserted into it?   

    Hi Geronimofinch,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with RAM bank in your Lenovo G50-30 laptop.
    As per the specification this model has 2 RAM slots, you can refer the manual 2 RAMs can be fitted to this system.
    Click here for the manual and refer page number 41.

  • New W530 setup questions...

    Just received my W530 in the mail and I've been trying to get up to speed on all the new technology out there and how to properly setup my computer... I've tried various searches but haven't got a clear answer I don't think - here goes: 
    W530 8gb RAM (2x4), K2000, 500 gb HDD with raid option, x64 win 7, hi res screen
    I already bought a Samsung EVO SSD 250GB for the main drive which I will pickup from my US mailbox on Monday.
    The reason I bought the computer is because my 4 year old Acer just couldn't handle the intensity of PlanSwift and On-Centre digital estimating programs for construction. In addition I dabble with Chief Architect Premiere for 3D house design and the Adobe Suite to do graphics stuff for the company, etc., etc. I will likely take some CAD related courses at school as well in the future.
    My plan was to install OS and programs on the new SSD in the main bay and keep current project files on there. All misc pictures, videos and company files and other things on the HDD which would be in the UltraBay. I currently use about 180 GB and have another 250GB stored on an old laptop which I'd like to transfer over so everything is on one laptop. That one will be for internet searches in the garage for dirtbike repairs 
    Questions:
    1. Is it worth getting a 128 GB mSata drive for the OS (under $100 for Crucial)? Then have all program files on SSD in main bay and misc files on HDD in ultrabay? do I need an adapter for the ultrabay or is it already able to accept the HDD in the ultrabay? I haven't popped out the ultrabay yet to see... 
    2. I hear of using the mSata drive for Caching? Is 128 GB enough for OS and caching? When is the caching helpful? Should I use the mSata just for caching?
    3. Do I setup the computer with the OS on the HDD in the main bay and then clone/image it to the mSata drive oro SSD drive? Or do I start with the SSD in the main bay? I'm really confused on this part... 
    4. If necessary I will upgrade the RAM later - I think this is a straightforward upgrade as long as the voltages with the original RAM are the same - is this correct?
    5. I currently use a Sony KDL 40XBR8 TV as a second monitor at work - what connection should I be using to get the best display settings? I currently use an HDMI with my Acer for no particular reason. I also have an Acer 23" at home which will be replaced with another Sony or Samsung TV when we move into our new house... 
    sorry for the noob questions... I am typically really good at finding answers to my questions but i really didn't find any clear answers or they were so technical I didn't realize it was the answer to my question ;-)
    Can someone give me a practical approach to setting up my computer so I can start off right... thanks!!
    Daniel
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel
    ps can't wait to light this thing up with the SSD! It should rip pretty good... 
    | W530 | i7-3630QM | 16GB DDR3 | 128GB mSATA | 250GB 840 EVO | 500GB HDD | 1920x1080 | QUADRO K2000M |

    Hi Daniel.  When I bought my w530 I immediately installed a 256gb SSD. And now, over a year later I'm looking at getting a 256gb mSata for the boot drive. 
    1. The mSata port may only be Sata II but I figure it's not likely that I'll notice the difference.  High transfer rates are really only realized with large files and the OS is usually a large collection of very small files.  But that's just an opinion and your experience may vary.
    For an ultrabay adapter, check out newmodeus.  Quite a few forum posts mention success with this adapter versus the cheap ones from eBay.  I haven't bought one yet myself, but this is what I will get when the time comes.  (they also sell an adapter  to convert your optical drive into an external USB optical drive.)
    http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_7&products_id=400
    Also, search the forum and be aware that there are many who report problems of the w530 kicking out the ultrabay drive, but it seems better with the newmodeus adapter (as I recall; it was quite a while back when I read about it).  I haven't looked at what ncix carries for adapters but would be interested to know if you find something that works.
    And the drives shipped with the w530 come in different heights, and if it doesn't match the height of your SSD you will need rubber rails.  I still haven't ordered mine and I'm letting my drive sit in the overheight internal bay without proper support.   I just carry it very carefully.  I'm not sure of the best place to get rails, direct from Lenovo or elsewhere.  Last time I checked with Newmodeus they didn't sell just rails, but that may have changed (it was quite a while ago that I checked).
    2. Caching only helps if your OS boot partition is on a traditional harddrive.  With an SSD you won't utilize the caching as it won't be any faster (and may be slower).
    3. I would try installing direct to the mSata/SSD instead of cloning.  For a new system it's probably just as easy and less prone to issues.  Windows will take care of alignment, etc., and turning off features unnecessary for SSD (superfetch/prefetch/and all that).
    I also don't believe it necessary to install Win7 fresh.  It depends on your view.  I didn't want the hassle of tracking down a legit copy of Win7 install that I would trust, not to mention the hassle of installing it.  Instead, I made the restore DVD(s) using the Lenovo tools whlie the original harddrive was installed, then switched the drive with the new SDD and restored from the DVDs.  Then I went through and uninstalled any Lenovo software I didn't think was useful.  It's been working nicely ever since and I don't regret not starting with a fresh install.  Your experience may vary, though.
    4. Upgrading ram is very easy.  I'm not sure about specs, but if you don't match voltage and speed the system will downgrade both to the lowest common available.  You should be able to find many discussions about matching RAM voltage on the 'net.  You also would have to wait until your system arrives anyways because you don't know the specs of the RAM in advance (since Lenovo uses different suppliers).
    I'm not sure how much RAM you'd need for CAD software.  I upgraded mine to 32gb because I didn't want to find myself wishing I had more (for software development).  I think I only ever hit as high as 20gb used, and am usually around the 6-12gb mark (depends on how many VMs I have going).
    5. Sorry, I can't answer your video question.  I use the docking station with two monitors via DVI.  I haven't tried HDMI.
    Before you sell off the extra parts, make sure you don't need them for warranty coverage.  Warranty will only cover the system with original parts, so if you have to send in your system you would remove all custom parts and reinstall the originals.  I'm not sure about onsite service, if you have to revert your system or not to original specs.
    All comments I made above were in respect of Win7 Pro.  I have no idea if anything changes under Win8/8.1.
    Good luck!  I hope you enjoy your w530 as much as I do mine.

  • Mac Pro Hard Drive Setup Question

    Mr. FedEx brought me my Mac Pro today and I'm getting ready to set it up. I'm migrating from a PowerBook G4 17 inch and got the Mac Pro 3.0 GHz, 8 GB RAM, and four 500 GB hard drives. I figure I should do a freash install of Aperture instead of using the Migration Wizard. The question for the night is, how should I handle the four hard drives? Out of the box I see four seperate hard drives labled Macintosh HD. For Aperture, should I use software raid across all four drives or only three leaving the OS drive by itselft for applications?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Sure you can... I got a Raid 0 on two 300Gb drives on my boot drive... They host the OS and my apps.
    The trick is that its got to be a fresh install. You boot with your hardware giag disk and in the menu you have the disk utility. Create the RAID setup and then quit. You can now boot the disk with the OS install and it will recognize it as such.
    Now - a few things to consider. Next version of OS X has Time Machine that that expects a volume (a disk, the whole disk) for it to work. So it would be cool if you find out about it and sort of prepare for it.
    Having said that I would Raid0 two pairs and Raid1 the two. This is called Raid 1+0 or Raid 10. Its a good compromise but if drive 1 AND 3 fail then there is no backup. I would also get an external firewire disk (say 300Gb or 500Gb) and use it as a vault. But that is because I can't think of running the machine with a full backup of what I got, still not a perfect solution.
    The way I got it is using Raid 0 on my OS and Apps (600Gb) with an external Firewire disk for backup. (no Raid 0 - so there is no statistical odds to beat)
    Apeture has two drives. Two Firewire 800 (1Tb) drives, one the library and the other is the vault. The vault also stores the deleted images, so you will have to clean every now and then or it will grow faster than your library.

  • 915P-Combo drive setup question

    Great forum – I’m glad that I found it (just wish I found it before putting my system together).  I just constructed my first pc based on a 915P-Combo motherboard and everything has gone well.  I only made one mistake – I ordered two SATA 160G drives thinking I could do a SATA RAID 0.  Oops...
    There are two reasons why I thought that I could – one is on the motherboard box it says “SATA and IDE RAID compatible”.  Ok, that can be read two ways – I know.  Well, then I actually downloaded the user manual and it describes how to set up a SATA RAID array (in Chapter 5).  So I was a little surprised that it can’t do SATA RAID.  So now I’ve got my two SATA drives set as two separate drives.  No big deal, and for the price the motherboard is a great value anyway.
    So my question is that I need to build a second machine that will basically be a clone of the first and I wanted opinions about the hard drive options.  Since I will be playing games and doing some home theatre stuff (watching and recording movies) I would like at least 300G with good read/write specs.  I also want the simplicity of a single drive so it looks like my options are:
    1)   A single large SATA drive (300G or so)
    2)   Two IDE (150G or so) drives in a RAID 0 array
    And I just wanted to know what the opinions of the forum are.  Will the performance of the IDE RAID 0 be that much better than the 150Mbps (that I understand SATA can do) to justify it?
    Also to do the IDE RAID 0 my understanding is that I would hook one drive to IDE2 and one to IDE3 (with them both set to master) – is that correct?  I would have my DVD-R/W on IDE1 as it is now.
    I appreciate any opinions you have on this.  Thanks for your help.

    I recommend 2 x 160GB IDE HDDs, RAID 0 + 1 x 250GB/300GB SATA HDD + Dual Channel 512MB DDR 533MHz RAMs + Enermax 475watts / Antec 480watts PSU + P540 - 3.4GHz CPU.
    The 150MBps on SATA is just the theory only, the actual transfer rates is still dependent on the system overall performance so don't rely on it too much as you'll never get to even hit 100MBps on any system in the real world enviroment. This applies to IDE as well.

  • Installed 3GB of RAM, have a question.

    I just installed one stick of 1GB and one stick of 2GB RAM from Crucial. Everything is going OK but I have a question.
    What slot should the different sticks go in? Does it make any difference as far as speed or accessing speed of the RAM?
    For instance, should the 2GB stick be in BANK 0 and the 1GB stick be in Bank 1 or does it make any difference at all?
    My computer info. is in my signature if it's important.
    Thanks.

    as far as i know, it doesn't matter what slot each of the ram sticks are in.

  • Scratch disk and other setup questions

    Hello, I am a long time Premiere user but have never been involved with the setup. I have decided to start doing personal video editing on my gaming computer and have run into some questions.
    The biggest one I have is with the scratch disk setup. I've read the help doc about 10 times and googled every combination of terms I can think of but am still unsure how I should set these for my setup.
    I have Premiere Pro CS5 installed on my C:, which is a 128 GB SSD
    For storage I have 4 1TB drives in Raid 5, so 2.72 TB total storage.
    How do I want to set up my scratch disks for best possible performance?
    Question 2: This might be related to scratch disk setup, I'm not sure, but something I have always wondered. Which disk should I save my projects to in this configuration? Does it matter? Then, do I want to render my final video to that same folder or to another disk?
    Question 3: I currently have a GTX 460 graphics card and am enjoying the benefits of CUDA acceleration. I have been looking at adding a second in SLI for gaming purposes, but have read that the Mercury Playback Engine is not compatible with SLI. Does this mean that it will still just work with one card and I will see no benefit in premiere, or that all CUDA acceration will cease?
    Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help.

    Alright, so I have the hdd's in the case and am setting up where to place everything, but each of my drives is different, so I am hoping someone can suggest best practice on which drives should hold what. I can rearrange any drive to suit any purpose you guys would suggest, but here is what I currently have set up:
    C: - 128 GB SATA III SSD
    D: - 150 GB 10k VelociRaptor
    E: - 250 GB Caviar Black
    F: - 4x 1 TB Spinpoint F4 7200 RPM in RAID 5
    Here is how I am currently planning on using these drives:
    C: - OS, Programs
    D: - Media, Projects
    E: - Previews, Exports
    F: - Pagefile, Media Cache
    When I am finished with a project I move the exported file onto my media server, so that is why I set the export onto the smaller drive and media cache onto the RAID.
    Does this look good or would you guys suggest a different orientation for better performance?
    And one other question, this time regarding RAM. I currently have 6 GB of DDR3, 3 x 2 GB. I have been reading all about how moving up to 24 GB would be very beneficial, and since it really isn't all that expensive, I am planning on doing so. My question is that, I have watched the task manager while rendering and exporting my videos and I've only ever seen RAM usage hit 1.8 GB. I wondered why it didn't get close to using all 6, but didn't worry about it too much. But now that I am hearing 24 would be helpful, I am wondering if I have something set up wrong that is stopping Premiere from using all my RAM?
    Thank you guys so much for the help.

  • Satellite 2410-404: RAM Extension general Questions

    There are two two memory modules(256+256) installed on my notebook Satellite 2410-404. There are two memory slots on my notebook. I want to extend the memory, but I could not find the answers to my questions though i searched in the manual, and at this website and this forum... My questions are
    1. Can I extend memory by 256 MB by exchanging the 256 Memory module by 512 MB module? What kind of memory module should i take?
    or
    2. Schould i change both memory modules simultaneously? What kind of memory module should i take?
    3. What can i do with the old memory modules?
    Thank you in advance,
    Vladimir

    > The fact is that you can upgrade the memory to max:
    > 1024MB.
    > In this case you can use max 2x512MB memory modules.
    I am really confused now because
    1. in the printed manual i found the following text: "You can install 128MB or 256MB memory modules in both memory slots to extend RAM upto 512 MB"
    2. Kingston site says the same: one can extend RAM upto 512 MB
    http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator/modelsinfo.asp?SysID=12951&mfr=Toshiba&model=Satel lite+2410&Sys=12951-Toshiba-Satellite+2410-404&distributor=0&submit1=Finden
    3. Product details say that the RAM can be extended upto 1024MB
    http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/selected_product_option.jsp?service=DE&PRODUCT_ID= 21161&DISC_MODEL=1
    Whom shoud i believe? The printed manual from Toshiba? Or the Toshiba website?

    We are currently in the process of migrating out vmware infrastructure from HP to UCS.  We are utilizing the Virtual Connect Adapters for the project.  With the migration we also plan on implementing the cisco nexus v1000 in our environment.  I have demo equipment setup and have had a chance to install a test environment, but still have a few design questions.
    When implementing the new setup, what is a good base setup for the virtual connect adapters with the v1000?  How many Nics should I dedicate?  Right now I run 6 nics per server (2 console, 2 Virtual Machines, and 2 Vmotion).  Is this a setup I should continue with going forward?  The only other thing I am looking to implement is another set of nics for nfs access.  In a previous setup at a different job, we had 10 nics per server (2 console, 4 virtual machines, 2 vmotion and 2 iSCSI).  Is there any kind of standard for this setup?
    The reason I am asking is I want to get the most out of my vmware environment as we will be looking to migrate Tier 1 app servers once we get everything up and running.
    Thanks for the help!

    Tim,
    Migrating from HP Virtual Connect (VC) -> UCS might change your network design slightly, for the better of course .  Not sure if you're using 1G or 10G VC modules but I'll respond as if you've using 10G modules because this is what UCS will provide. VC modules provide a 10G interface that you can logically chop up into a max of 4 host vNIC interfaces totaling 10G. Though it's handy to divide a single 10G interfaces into virtual NICs for Service Console, VMotion, iSCSI etc, this creates the opportunity for wasted bandwidth.  The logical NICs VC creates provides a max limit of bandwidth to the adapter.  For example if create a 2GB interface for your host to use for vMotion, then 2G of your 10G pipe is wastes when there's no vMotions taking place!
    UCS & 1000v offer a different solution in terms of bandwidth utilization by means of QoS.  We feel it's more appropriate to specifiy a "minimum" bandwidth guarantee rather than a hard upper limit - leading to wasted pipe.  Depending on which UCS blade and mezz card option you have, the # of adapters you can present to the Host varies.  B200 blades can support one mezz card (with 2 x 10G interfaces) while the B250 and B440 are full width blades and support 2 Mezz cards.  In terms of Mezz cards now, there's the Intel/Emulex/Qlogic/Broamcom/Cisco VIC options.  In my opinion the M81KR (VIC) is best suited for virtualized environments as you can present up to 56 virtual interfaces to the host, each having various levels of QoS applied.  When you roll the 1000v into the mix you have a lethal combination of adding some of the new QoS features that automatically match traffic types such as Service Console, iSCSI, VMotion etc.  See this thread for a list/explanation of new features coming in the next verison of 1000v due out in a couple weeks https://www.myciscocommunity.com/message/61580#61580
    Before you think about design too much, tell us what blades & adapters you're using and we can offer some suggestions for setting them up in the best configuration for your virtual infrastructure.
    Regards,
    Robert
