DS10 memory

by hvlems＠zonnet.nl

The memory in a DS20E follows the same specs as the memory that fits in a DS10. The DS10 won't accept higher density modules. The DS20E has 16 memory slots and supports memory boards up to 256 MB. The DEC supplied memory boards offer very little information but my DS20E also has a few Toshiba boards: PC100-222-620R 32M x 72 SDRAM 100 MHz CL2 ECC The (128 MB) Micron board partno is: MT9LSDT1672AG-10Eb1 This is 100 MHz, synchronous, unbuffered, error correcting memory. It operates at 3.3 V. The CL 2 latency spec is important. Hans

Noob questions #42: RAM for DS10

by johnhreinhardt＠yahoo.com

You have a DS10 so you don't have to be quite as picky. The DS10L needs a shorter DIMM board. The old DEC/Compaq part number for memory was MS310-xA where A=64MB, B=128MB, C=256MB, D=512MB, E=1GB. This is total size. Each kit is 2 DIMM boards so the largest is a set of 2 512MB DIMMS. The trick about the DS10/DS10/DS20/ES40 memory is that it's on 200-pin DIMMs. And if you Google or search in Ebay you'll get a ton of hits because it's a common notebook memory size for SO-DIMMs. These will not fit. Be wary. IIRC the basic spec is 200-pin, PC100, ECC but I can't remember if they're buffered or un-buffered (registered or not). Okay, I pulled a DIMM out of my DS10L and it's DEC part # 20-01ESA-08 and specifically a Samsung M378S6450ATQ-C1H Googling this tells me it's a 200-pin, PC100, Synchronous, CL2, ECC DIMM. I found one hit on the US Ebay for memory fitting this specification, however, the picture they have with the listing is for a Micron DIMM board and the part number decodes to a 186-pin DIMM. So either the picture is wrong, or generic or the listing is incorrect. In either case, beware. Alpha Memory 256MB 200pin Synch DIMM100MHz CL2 ECC Your best bet is going to be searching on MS310-EA or 20-01ESA-08 and on the US EBay it looks like the best deal is 1GB (2x512MB) PC100 ECC Registered ECC 200pin Memory for $59.95 US. It's an oddball memory and tough to find in the generic market. Good luck. Cheers, John H.

Memory must be installed in pairs and the maximum size for 1 memory board is 512 MB. Have a look at eBay Sampsa.

I'd like the largest possible ones so that I can fill it up to 2 GB. Sampsa

Anyone got a bootable firmware updater CD ISOsforAlphaservers?

Sampsa, I'll open up my DS20E (same memory) for 3rd party specs. -----Original Message----- From: Sampsa Laine <sampsa at mac.com> Sender: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2011 15:08:58 To: <hecnet at Update.UU.SE> Reply-To: hecnet at Update.UU.SESubject: Re: [HECnet] Anyone got a bootable firmware updater CD ISOs forAlphaservers? When I speed tested the IDE drive against a 5 DISK (9 GB, RAID 5) BA265, I saw no performance difference. Test file was 100 MB of random data. The system "Feels" faster weirdly enough, and is tiny compared to any other Alphas I've owned. Now I'd just love to know the spec of DIMMs for the unit so I can max out the memory.....
