- Maybe or maybe not.
- After you have installed memory you must do the following:
- At the ok prompt
-
- ok setenv selftest-#megs X (X for memory size)
- ok show selftest-#megs
- ok test-memory
-
- If the memorytest fails you will see:
-
- Bad memory: Data test:
- Try Changing Uxxxx
-
- The number Uxxxx refers to the number on the socket. You will have to open
- the IPC and look which number it is.

-
- Do not buy them where you buy your Sun equipment. They are to expensive.
- Last time I bought RAM for my IPC, I got it from a local PC-shop.
- Prize: 125 US-dollar for one 4 MB SIMM module.
