[Edit Edit Edit]

Seem the problem is thus...
IMG_0717.JPG
Rest of the boards are populated, so I guess I need to spread some memory?

It's very interesting that the machine was configured in this way!

Did it give you a memory error?

My Onyx2 only has 1GB of RAM installed in it and it takes quite a while to initialise the memory, I have been warned that if I install 8GB, that it will take a really long time to initialise.

I wonder if all of the banks actually need to be populated with numalink, as from what I understand, there is a numalink router on the mid-plane and the system pools its memory? (I'm probably completely wrong though!)

[uunix]

OK so, one empty board, and three fully populated.

and

<ATTACHMENT filename="IMG_0720.JPG" index="0">     </ATTACHMENT>

What is going to be my best option?

Sorry I attempted to add two images.. FFS

And boards 3 & 4

My modules are populated as such: (There'n not much there!)

I would suggest spreading the memory in such a way between all of the modules. (fill the memory from this side.)

<B><U>EDIT:</U></B>

I see that your memory appears to be made up of mixed sizes! (Maybe try to match it between all of the CPU's as a start, not that it necessarily matters, but just to make sure.)

Seems stuck here with front panel code P 3F3F3F

How long do these things take to book?
Can I run on a single CPU node?

[Irinikus]

They take really long to boot, I think that my machine shows the same code while booting and then shows the code that I posted earlier once it's ready to start loading the operating system.

Do you have any idea as to how much RAM is installed?

Start the machine, go and watch a movie to pass the time and then come back!

I see you're up and running, awesome!!!

That's quite a machine you have over there!!!

<B><U>EDIT:</U></B>

How are you finding your Origin2000 compared to your Tezros in terms of processing performance or nippiness, as I realise you can't compare them from a graphics hardware point of view?
