Identifying Parity and Non-Parity Cards
Non-IBM cards
If you find figures like " 36M" or "36" other than
figures indicating capacity, it may be Parity memory.
If you find figures like " 32M" or "32" other than
figures indicating capacity, it may be Non-Parity memory.
IBM cards
(example ![[P]](/other/img/photo.gif) )
Parity DRAM cards are *thick black* while Non-parity cards are *gray*.
There is no indications about Parity or Non-parity on the card. If you don't
have FRU P/N handy, identify cards by their color.
TP700/720
Both models take Parity cards only. Do not got for Non-parity DRAMS.
Maximum capacity per slot is limited to 8MB. If you pop a 16MB DRAM card in
any slot, system will count to 12MB ( planar 4MB + half amount of installed
card ) and then turn into reference. Auto-config, save config then reboot,
memory count will stop at 4MB and you'll get 163 and 201 error. TP720 can
accept Fujitsu FMBNEM81, CA46006-6256 parity memory. I think TP700/720 can
also accept DJ-8M-QA( 4P.8L ) by Maxell.
PS/55E
As far as I can see, 5537 and 5538 can take both Parity and Non-Parity
memory cards except 5538-Z. I myself have
not yet confirmed it. At least 5537-ZAC
can take both parity and non-parity. Some models have "Parity check disable
option" in Easy Setup Menu and others are designed to use Non-Parity memory
cards (Of course parity card can be used as Non-Parity memory. Parity bit of
such cards may just ignored by the system).
