Re: AS5300 Memory Problem

nstahlman · ‎07-20-2005

I just installed new memory in my old AS5300. Now I am getting the following error message. I know this is a stupid question, but could anything ELSE be causing this error instead of the memory? The only reason I ask is because I am able to RX-BOOT and TFTP up an IOS. The problem only occurs when booting the IOS. Could there been a compatibility issue with the new DRAM and the existing Packet Memory?

System Bootstrap, Version 11.2(9)XA, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

AS5300 platform with 131072 Kbytes of main memory

Cache parity error exceptions occur when bad parity has been discovered in the CPU or in the primary data cache. The parity error could have occurred in the VIP DRAM, the DRAM controller, the primary cache, or in the CPU itself. Parity errors discovered in this location are also referred to as processor memory parity errors (PMPEs).
