Guest robbo Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Hi, I have installed 2gb of RAM into a HP DL380 G3 server running Windows 2003 standard version, but when I look at the system proerties through control panel it only shows 768mb of memory, I have run the HP Management agent on the server and looked at the config for the DIMM's and it displays all 4 slots have 512md sticks installed. is there a way of getting the OS to display the correct amount of memory installed? Thanks
Guest Anthony [MVP] Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Re: Server not displaying the correct amount of memory installed Do you perhaps have the wrong type of memory for the server? What does it show in BIOS and in the HP diagnostics (apart from that there are four sticks physically there)? When you boot up the server, how much memory does it show it has?

Guest robbo Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Re: Server not displaying the correct amount of memory installed Hi Anthony, When I restated the server the bios displayed "2048mb detected" when I run the HP Management agent is shows all four 512mb sticks and reports they they are all good and in use.

Guest Anthony [MVP] Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Re: Server not displaying the correct amount of memory installed What does Task Manager tell you about the physical memory available, and what is using it?
