| 7058.1 | More problems | RDVAX::LEVY | Run Like an Antelope | Wed Jan 29 1997 07:45 | 8 |
| The error 1 errors have returned in the Application log.
Also, we had another SPOOLSS crash yesterday.
Any ideas?

| 7058.2 | 16mb memory on LPS17 is not enough | RDVAX::LEVY | Run Like an Antelope | Wed Feb 05 1997 16:24 | 14 |
| Thanks to Liz Holland of the CSC, I believe this problem is resolved.
We've had 2 learnings out of this experience:
1 - Don't try to load and configure LPS17s with less than 32mb memory
from Windows NT.
2 - Don't put 8mb 60ns memory into LPS17s. They will pass the power-on
self-test but will never actually see the additional memory. You
must use 70ns memory simms.
Thanks again, Liz!

Maybe you mean don't use 80ns memory?
60ns memory is faster than 70ns memory, and I have never heard
of a case where faster memory will fail when slower memory works.
Almost all available SIMMs today are 70ns or faster.

| 7058.4 | Don't mix speeds | RDVAX::LEVY | Run Like an Antelope | Thu Feb 06 1997 11:16 | 7 |
| No. I mean don't use 60ns memory. The memory on-board is 70ns and the
8mb simm with the printer is 70ns. When we mixed with 60ns simms for
the additional 16mb, the printer passed self-test but never actually
saw the memory. Remote console would report 8 + 8.

| 7058.5 | What is the spec for the LPS1X-UE/F memory | NECSC::HARVEY | Printserver Support- America's Zone | Thu Feb 06 1997 12:08 | 15 |
| I have had customers report the same thing. It must be 70nSec memory
or it will not work. Another issue reguarding memory came up too. A
customer installed a 8MB memory simm and it failed to be seen. it was
Texas Instruments TMS418160DX simm. This simm is a 1Mx16 DRAM simm vs.
the more standard 4Mx4 simm. Customer used the memory in one of their
PCs instaed and will order 70 nSec 8MB memory simms.
So the real question is what is the spec for the LPS 17/32+ memory
simms? Customers say that we Digital charge too much for our memory as
compared to what is out on the market. I have seen ads out here in
Silicon Valley (San Jose, CA.) with a 4MB stick going for $16.00 and a
8MB stick at $25.00.

| Print spooler crashed again today. I'm not tracing anymore because I
thought the problem was solved. Darn it!

| 7058.7 | Presence Detect? | CPEEDY::YOUNG | Paul | Fri Feb 14 1997 10:03 | 7 |
| Just a guess - the LN17 may require presence detect on the memory?
There are a few pins on SIMMS which tell the system how many meg
and what speed the memory is. There is a list of the jumpers on
http://www.pny.com/Tech/presencedetect.stm that you may find useful.

| 7058.8 | Not that unusual | SHRMSG::HOWARD | Ben | Thu Feb 20 1997 16:31 | 8 |
| Our NT spoolers crash all the time, and we haven't even upgraded them to
4.0. We've working with Microsoft, but so far not much has been
resolved. I've never had a problem booting 16MB LPS17's from NT V3.51
other than using PRINTSERVER 17/600. It seems that NT spoolers don't
handle errors very well. A printer that is out of paper seems to cause
crashes or hangs.
