s5000 VSA

[the_saint]

I recently was given this motherboard as a gift as well as both processors inside of it ( have no idea what they are because I haven't been able to boot it up yet) but I cant boot it because when I try it gives three beeps indicating a memory error of some kind. I can't find a guide anywhere saying what slots to populate first so I really need some help

They're Xeons BTW (cant tell how old) and it needs DDR2, thats all I could find

[the_saint]

yeah I figured they would be xeons and I researched the memory. its called FB dimm from kingston

Was the memory included with the gift?

looks like 771 to me, probably a pair of l5450s or e5450s, if you're lucky x5450s. probably needs ddr2-ecc, just populate 1 slot at a time until it works

[the_saint]

the memory was on the board. this is second hand and was used simply as a media server for a few years (( yes I know its overkill for a media server don't ask)) but ever since I got it its had issues. i want to convert it into a MC hosting server but without working memory it will be tough. and there are 2 dimms of ram each 512 mb ( im going to upgrade to 4 gb total soon)

Did you change anything after receiving it?

grab 2x2gb ddr2-ecc? memory issue could just be the dimms dying.

I took the ram out not thinking and now I don know where to put it . and I'm not sure what your asking harrynowl

just reinstall the ram?

And @harrynowl means that you get 4Gb of DDR3 ECC memory because the current ram could be dying

[the_saint]

there are a ton of dimm slots and I cant find a manual that tells me the order in which to install them

just insert from left to right...

the reason I'm confused is that they are verticle on the s5000vsa and one slot is blue while the others are black
