Memory Disappearing after adding Raid Controller

I have a Lenovo D20 with 2x x5650 CPUs. I have 9 sticks of 2gb 1333 ECC UDIMM.
The problem  I am running into is that after I installed a hardware Raid card, the system only picks up 12gb of memory instead of the installed 18gb, and if i take the card out it'll go back to 18gb.
I've updated to the latest BIOS and still doesn't make a difference. Does anyone have any idea why?

Which specific slots do you think are not workign correctly (ID the slots per the silkscreen on the motherboard)?  Watching the system count memory won't tell you this, only swapping DIMMs in and out will.
Can you provide the vendor part number for the DIMMs you are using?
What happens when you put memory only into the DIMM slot(s) you suspect aren't working and try to boot the system?  Does it boot or does it give you a beep code sequence?
I can't think of any reason why installing a PCIe device would affect the amount of memory being detected within BIOS.  Cards can, however, greatly affect the amount of memory that shows available within the OS.
Often, when there's a mismatch between the amount of physically installed memory and the amount of memory being detected in BIOS (in the BIOS setup menus), it's because of DIMM(s) that are not seated correctly.  Obviously the latches should be closed, but sometimes even when closed I've seen a DIMM not report correctly.  When installing/reseating, try pushing on the center of the DIMM evenly instead of out near the corners.

  • My iPad contacts disappeared after adding a contact

    My IPad 2 contacts just disappeared after adding a contact. What will I do aside from syncing? Are there any other solutions?

    Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
    A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.  
    Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!  
    Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.  
    Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

  • Background disappears after adding a cross dissolve to a keyed clip.

    I have a clip that has a Keying filter (as well as being cropped and scaled down) on it over a white background. After adding a Cross Dissolve to the keyed clip, the white background disappears for the duration of the Cross Dissolve, leaving a black background behind the keyed clip. This black background is present both in preview and after rendering.
    Any advice?

    not positive this will help, but try this:
    remove the transition
    right-click and sselect "make compound clip" (or Option G)
    within the compound clip, drop a white solid under the keyed clip; do not place any transitions at either end of the compound clip.
    return to your storyline / sequence
    place your transition again and see if it's fixed
    if you still do not have a clean dissolve, remove the transition and then click once on the compound clip and go to around 8 or 12 frames before the end and in the inspector, go to the opacity and add a keyframe and then arrow right to the frame before the last frame and add another keyframe and drag the opacity value to zero.

  • Shared printers disappearing after Adding

    Every time I try and print to a shared printer on a wireless network, it only works once. The next time I start the application the added printer is gone.

    I'm having a similar problem. When I'm at the office I print to 2 shared printers that are attached to other Macs on our network. At the end of the day I take my MacBook Pro home with me. When I come back to the office in the morning and plug into the network, all my printers are no longer listed in my print dialogue windows. I have to "Add Printer" to get them to show up, then they work just fine all day. But then the same thing happens the next day, and the next day, etc. The printers that have been directly plugged into my MacBook Pro are always listed and they never disappear. Solution anyone?

  • PPro CS4 All Audio Disappeared after Adding WAV File

    I cannot hear audio in a video I am editing in Premiere Pro CS4 (Win 7 pc). Problem began after I tried to record my voiceover (wav file) using PPro CS4. I saved videos from a digital camera, converted to QuickTime format, imported and was able to listen to both the audio that was originally part of the video and three voiceover files that I previously recorded using different software (I don't remember what). Now I cannot hear audio of any files, wav, wma, etc, using PPro CS4, Windows Media Player, or other software. Any suggestions of what I should do to restore audio to my system?

    Bill:
    Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, this is a self-inflicted wound. It turns out I caused the problem by plugging my microphone into the headphone jack. After checking to confirm that my sound card driver is up to date, I glanced at the jack, placed the mike in the proper input port, and voila, I've got sound. I'm back editing my video in CS4. Based on this escapade, I'm sure I will need your advice again soon.

    Hello Ian,
    Thank you for your answer and sorry for hard copies.

    The sort is not coming from BEX but made directly in analysis (by drag and drop)
    That's why you don't see sort icon.

  • Hard drives do not detect after enabling hardware raid controller

    hello every one
    I have 2 hard drive and want to make them RAID 1.after enabling raid controller in bios,when I want to install windows server 2012,it says no hard drive detected.when I load driver of raid,it dont work.i used "list disk" and "diskpart"
    command in command prompt to show my online disk drive,but it does not show any hard drive.I think hard drive are in offline mode.how can I enable them?hard drive are sata 1T.
    atiye moghaddam

    Hi,
    As RAID is enabled on motherboard, the configuration should be finished in BIOS as well. So the RAID1 should be already configged before installing Windows system.
    When boot with an installation CD, you should have an option like "load driver for hard disk" or so. RAID will not be directly recognized so you should use that option to install a driver first.
    If it will not work, contact motherboard manufacturer for more support on this function.

  • 90% of pictures disappeared after new program. Time machine folders mostly empty. Downloaded my Carbonite file. Can I restore directly from this file or do I have to drag and drop 20,000 pix?

    90% of pictures disappeared after adding Maverick. My Time Machine folders were in the right order but mostly empty so useless for restore. Repair and rebuild attempts were not effective. Downloaded my Carbonite file which is now sitting on my desktop. Is there any way to use the restore command to rebuild my portfolio or do I have to drag & drop approx 20,000 pictures? Can album groupings and faces be retained?

    Do you still have the original library that was present at the time you upgraded to Mavericks?  If so apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    Happy Holidays

  • Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller keeps loosing Logical Drive after power shutdown.

    Hi, I own two HP Microservers Gen8. I added SSD drive on the DVD SATA port in both. I created Raid 0 over the SSD Drive that I can boot from it, but everytime I shutdown the box (power outage), the logical drive is lost. Note that the logical drive is not lost on reboot. Only when the box is is shutdown. Any ideas why is this happening? Here are repro steps: Enter Smart Storage Administrator
    Select onDynamic Smart Array B220i RAID CtrollerClick on "Unassigned Drive" Screen shows me:SATA HDD:
    - 3TB Port1:Bay1
    - 3TB Port2:Bay2 SATA SSD
    - 120GB Port5:Bay5 I selected Sata SSD drive in Port5:Bay5I clicked on "Create Array"
    On a next screen I select the following:
    I selected RAID 0, 256 KiB Stripe Size, 32 Sectors, Maximum Size
    I click on "Create Logical Drive" On a next screen:
    A message: Logical Drive was successfully created.
    I click on Finish
    I exit the Smart Storage Manager and reboot the system. The server boots from the Raid0 Array (Sata SSD Drive in Port5:Bay5) -> No problem If I just reboot the server, it boots from the Raid0 Array. - No problemIf I shut down the server (or during Power outage), the Smart Array tells me that there is no logical array during the boot. The boot fails. -> Qualifies for a problem.
    Please can you explain why is the logical drive lost after power loss? Why the controller does not remember the setting? Other details:- Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller (v3.54.0)- When I boot to Smart Storage Administrator after power failure, I can recreate the Raid 0 over the SSD drive and boot again - this a work around the issue. Thank you for your advise.Jiri

  • Unknown Raid 5 Array after Raid controller replaced

    Hello,
    I had a raid controller fail during the week, and after shutting the xraid down and installing the new controller, all the drives in the array are now amber.
    In Raid Admin 1.5 the array does not show up, only all 6 member drives with an amber warning and 'Type: Unknown Array'.
    I used the 'Recognize Array' utility to try and fix this, however whilst each drive shows as being recognized as being part of a Raid 5 set, it will not recreate it.
    Am I completely screwed? or is there some other way to get this to repair/recognize?
    Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    Due to time restrictions on getting the xraid back online, had to recreate the raid and restore data from backup.
    No fix found.

  • Local copy idisk folders added to sidebar disappear after restart

    Folders from a local idisk copy added to the finder sidebar continually disappear after restart. Any idea how to prevent this?

    a workaround:
    you can lock this file via command + i
    Library > Preferences > com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    to keep your sidebar setting,
    then reboot
    or
    open Terminal and write:
    defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 1 < this will add a Quit command to the Finder
    then:
    killall Finder
    Quit the Finder via Command + Q every time you mount iDisk...
    it works for me, use at your own risk

    The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The  MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
    In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.
