CPU Board memory configuration - octaneirix6530 - 11-15-2019

Hello,

Is there a command to know the memory configuration on the mother board (number of ram sticks, which size and so on),
without removing the cpu board rack ?

Also do I need to change memory when upgrading from a R12000 300Mhz to a R14000 600 Mhz ?

thank you very much

You do not need to change memory.

Only some systems like the Origin and Onyx2 can show this with "hinv -mv", e.g. my O350:

Code:
Memory at Module 001c01/Slot 0: 8192 MB (enabled)

  Bank 0 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 1 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 2 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 3 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 4 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 5 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 6 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 7 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

Memory at Module 001c02/Slot 0: 8192 MB (enabled)

  Bank 0 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 1 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 2 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 3 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 4 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 5 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 6 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

  Bank 7 contains 1024 MB (Premium) DIMMS (enabled)

Since you're talking about going from a R12000 300Mhz to a R14000 600 Mhz I'm going to assume an Octane here. The Octane doesn't show this information. To install an R14K CPU, your mainboard must be the "1467" revision, not the "0887" revision. This is visible in the output of "hinv -mv". Here's a sample from an Octane with a 300MHz CPU and an "0887" mainboard (2nd and 4th line):

Make sure your power supply is the newer Cherokee (silver handle). Looks like the motherboard and Xbox versions are correct.

HOLY THREADOMANCY BATMAN.

James, did you check and see that it was 5 months old?
