How Bricked is this unit - SOLVED - bad memory
Hi I own 5 readynas NV+'s purchased from new, we also have 2100's,NVX's at work. I've taken a risk and purchased a second user 2100. When power is applied the USB and disk 2 lights come on solid an...
Hi
The plot thickens - the replacement memory arrives is promptly installed and we have the same error code.
Now after further investigation it appears that the memory that was installed may in fact be the incorrect type and therefore my replacement memory which was ordered is probably also the incorrect type.
The 2100 which turns out to be a 2100v2 which was fitted on it's arrival with PC2-6400 CL6 memory.
The memory I tried from the NVX is actually marked PC2-6400 CL5 i hadn't noticed the slight difference. With this memory fitted in it's original NVX the status page reports itself as 1024MB 5-5-5-24 DDR2.
When this CL5 memory is installed in the 2100v2 which then boots - it just reports itself as 1024MB [DDR2].
So the question is what type of memory should be installed in a 2100v2 - CL5/CL6?, ECC/Non-ECC?, buffered or unbuffered? So I can order the correct replacement part.
On a totally unrelated note, how do I change the password for my login on this forum, following a password reset, and logging on using the machine generated password, I don't seem to be able to find an account settings link to set it to something sensible.
Thanks
