The memory chip I got is still wrong. The problem now is that the center notch is off by 3 or 4mm, however the voltage notch is OK.
The 2 notches in DIMMs are for voltage, and for buffering.
The one on the far end is a 3 position key. RFU(??), buffered, or unbuffered. The middle key is the voltage. It is either 5v or 3.3v. Perhaps you got the wrong voltage DIMM?
Further research reveals it is MAC memory, ie; DIMM's used in several of their server lines. We took the original unit out of the ARC (which had an IBM part number on it) and cross referenced it, came up with the MAC compatibly listing. So I guess if the middle key is the voltage notch, then it is 3.3v since standard 168pin memory had the notch in the same position, it was the notch on the end (10 pins over from the edge) that was off from the original chip in the ARC... So we are going to order up the MAC compatible chip and see if it works... - Mike ------------------------------------------------ Rock Island Communications, Inc.
