[Info-vax] Request for AlphaServer 1000A SIMM/SIMMS

[urbancamo]

Thought I was going mad, but I'm not.
According to the AS1000A Service Guide Bank 0 must contain a memory
option (the lowest bank in the diagram). However, I've found that the
machine won't boot without Bank 3 being populated. Note also that it
specifies five SIMMs  as required. However, when I got the machine it
had Banks 3-1 populated with no SIMMs in the ECC bank.

He's the blurb from the manual:

6.2.7 Memory Modules
The positions of the failing single-inline memory modules (SIMMs) are
reported
by SROM power-up scripts (Section 2.2).
Note
• Bank 0 must contain a memory option (5 SIMMs–0, 1, 2, 3, and 1
     ECC SIMM).
• A memory option consists of five SIMMs (0, 1, 2, 3 and 1 ECC SIMM
     for the bank).
• All SIMMs within a bank must be of the same capacity.
