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?

    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

    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

    SIMMS.  Problems were reported using the PS/2 part numbered SIMMS.          
    The following numbers should be used for the 7011.

    The HD3* memory cards contain one pin less than the previous                
    HD3 and other memory cards.  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:

    Probably the best reference for memory card usage is the Common             
    Diagnostics and Service Guide (SA23-2687), appendix G.
