NEED RISC/6000 MEMORY GRID ITEM: RTA000054719 QUESTION: There used to be a grid showing memory levels and whether or not paired memory was required in different RISC Systems (see item CCBSS). However I cannot find such a document for all the new POWER2 and SMP systems. Where can I obtain specific information on which memory cards are used in which RISC/6000 models? ---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- A: Here is a list: System Unit 7008, 7011, 7009, 7006 1 MB 2 MB 4 MB 8 MB 16 MB 32 MB ------------------------------------------------------------- Model M20/ | X | X | P | P | X | X | M2A | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------| Model 220/ | X | X | P | P | X | X | 22G/W | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------| Model 230/ | X | X | P | P | X | X | 23E/S | | | | | | | 23T/W | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------| Model 250/ | X | Q | Q | Q | Q | Q | 25E/S | | | | | | | 25T/W | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------- Model 41T/ | X | Q | Q | Q | Q | Q | 41W | | | | | | | ------------------------------------------------------------- Model C10 | X | Q | Q | Q | Q | Q | ------------------------------------------------------------- Note: The M2x, 22x and 23x models support 16 MB to 64 MB of memory The 25x models support 16 MB (with 8 simms) to 256 MB of memory X - not supported P - indicates the SIMMS are installed in matching pairs Q - indicates the SIMMS are installed in matching quads (each quad must contain the same size SIMMS, but the two quads can be of different sizes) The following chart represents the RISC System/6000 part numbers for SIMMS on the 7011 series. The 7011 models use PS/2 "type" SIMMS. Problems were reported using the PS/2 part numbered SIMMS. The following numbers should be used for the 7011.

Certain models of the RISC System/6000 line contain slots that only fit the HD3* memory cards, the older memory cards do not physically fit. HD3* cards have an EC level of 33 or greater. This corresponds to a base memory card of type S4.5 or S4.6. To determine the EC level of memory cards in a running system, execute the following command at an AIX prompt: lscfg -vl mem* | more Probably the best reference for memory card usage is the Common Diagnostics and Service Guide (SA23-2687), appendix G.
