Subject: DS5000 memory

Just checking out a number of memory modules I've purchased over the
years using "test" at boot prompt and recieved the following.

test
?TFL:  3/mem (2: board 5: too many SBEs: 4194304) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/mem (1: board 7, MBE= 8388608, SBE= 0) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/mem (2: board 10: too many SBEs: 4194304) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/ni/ext-lb (3:(xmt [00000006])) [KN05]
?RTCsi/cntl
?TFL:  3/mem (2: board 5: too many SBEs: 4194304) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/mem (1: board 7, MBE= 8388608, SBE= 0) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/mem (2: board 10: too many SBEs: 4194304) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/ni/ext-lb (3:(xmt [00000006])) [KN05]
?RTC


So I moved the board in slot 5 to slot slot 8, slot 7 to slot 10, and
slot 10 to slot 9.  This in an effort to identify the problem memory
modules.  I then restarted the DS and ran test again with results that
indicate the problem doesn't follow the memory shift.  The following
output is from another issuance of "test".

If anyone has an idea of what these messages mean I would appreciate it.

test
?TFL:  3/mem (2: board 4: too many SBEs: 31948) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/ni/ext-lb (3:(xmt [00000006])) [KN05]
?TFL:  3/mem (2: board 4: too many SBEs: 31948) [KN03-AA]
?TFL:  3/ni/ext-lb (3:(xmt [00000006])) [KN05]

Thanks

I vaguely remember going through this years ago, I think it was solved by dipping the memory module connector area in 99% isopropyl and inserting and removing it a couple of times (assuming this is a 200/240/260 with the pin/socket connectors)

Wait till it drys before powering up!
