RN51600 - get memory error on startup
Hi My ReadNAS cannot start, can´t even reach the boot menu. Display says Memory Error. Anyone that has suggestions? Could it be physical memory? Anyone that knows what memory to buy and how to rep...

What I can find in Sweden are used DDR3L-RDIMM-8GB-12800R ECC memories, sold with 12 month warranty. Anything to consider or should I go for the longer devliery?
You do want to make sure it is unbuffered ECC memory.
Also I'd check availability of 4G modules also, as the suggestion to go with 8 GB was based on the small cost difference in the US.
The "R's" in "DDR3L-RDIMM-8GB-12800R ECC" mean "registered", aka buffered, so that won't work. You want DDR3L-12800E, though sometimes the E is omitted and it just says ECC Unbuffered and is sometimes also labeled as a UDIMM.
It's not uncommon, a lot of HP and Lenovo servers used it, and I know of no reason a specific brand would be better than another.
- Thanks for all advice!
I found a used memory at low cost and fast delivery ” HP 4GB DDR3 PC3-12800E ECC UDIMM”
Hope I got all params correct.Looks right to me.
I got the memory, installed but the memory error remains. 😞
Anyone with any suggestions?
I've never tried booting a 516 with just one memory stick, but you could try it.
Yeah, I tried that but the "memory error" comes before the led panel turns off.. (after which I should press the OK button to divert startup to the USB). I tried pushing OK button before as well and even before starting up but it never goes to the USB it just displays "memory error" and fan keeps spinning at high speed.
Seems I am stuck 😞
Anyone who knows how to retrieve the data from the Raid disks?
