Just to make sure, did you purchase Registered ECC RAM? These multi processor workstations will not work with off the shelf consumer RAM
hi everyone, my friend gave me his old T5500 workstation and I am a bit of a noob getting back into tinkering with desktop hardware. I have been trying and failing at upgrading the ram. What he gave me were 6 GB chips, with 3 on the riser and 3 on the main board. I went to Amazon and have bought three of the cheapest 4 GB patriot memory.   I have followed the service guide and so set up the memory with the 3x 4GB chips on the riser board, and the 6x 2GB chips on the main board. When I start up I get the 1-3-2 beep code and lights 1 and 3 are on. The video output never comes on so I am finding it difficult to troubleshoot. If I revert the configuration, and go into the bios, it does say there was a memory change in the log but not much else.    what do I do here? How long do I have to wait on start up? Is there some configuration process that will take a long time because I’ve basically added 12 GB of memory and changed the config?
