Replacing the DIMM did the trick and the switch has been healthy since Thursday! Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions.

Switch died on Monday with a memory error... Finally able to get out to the Data Center today and after about an hour of playing cable Jenga, we were able to get the switch out of the rack. Just put the 8GB DIMM in and heading to get some food to see if it barfs before putting it back in the...

Quick take on Authentic vs Fake vs Generic... There's only a couple of major manufacturers of the sub components and similarly only a couple of companies who assemble them into finished products. The major difference is the specifications, testing and finally vendor coding to identify the...

Just checked the logs and found this gem: Jul 8 05:30:39 Switch-01 kernel: [44985.324612] mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged Jul 8 05:30:39 Switch-01 kernel: [44985.324629] mce: [EDAC]: The following error was corrected by the hardware. Further action is likely not required...

I wasn't able to find a 16GB Unbuffered/ECC DIMM. Seems like 8GB is (was) the max for that generation of DDR3. If you were able to get a 16GB Unbuffered/ECC DIMM, can you share the part number? I'm hosted in a high end facility with very clean power. Each circuit is on 3Phase 30AMP circuit...

I ordered the Crucial 8GB ECC as you suggested since this is going into a data center environment. I'm looking at ordering another 7050QX-32S to have just in case this doesn't work but I've been eyeing the 7060CX-32S since I have Dual Port Mellanox ConnectX-5 100GbE nics in the servers. I think...

After a quick search, it looks like you're the guy who knows these inside out... For the ram, would this work or do you recommend something else? Crucial 8GB Single DDR3L 1600 MT/s (PC3L-12800) Unbuffered UDIMM Memory...

I noticed that too but it shows the same on all 4 switches. Switch-01#show version detail | grep Aboot-norcal Aboot Aboot-norcal4-4.0.7-13599834 I checked the PDF again and as the last step it shows deleting the extension after install/rebooting. Once its cleaned up it now shows...

Interesting idea. I'll need to order some RAM give that a try but I need to come up with a Plan B since the Colo is in another state and I'll have to fly there to do the hands on work. Thanks for the suggestion. Makes me also think, since the Arista runs Linux I might be able to run a memory...

I have four Arista 7050QX-32S switches that unfortunately are no longer under support, running the latest recommended release 4.23.4M (and the updated Aboot from Field Notice 0044 - See #2 below). The switches are configured in pairs and all four are connected together via mlags. All four...

1. Already running the latest bios and other firmware. 2. Good to know I can reuse the existing heat sinks after cleaning them. Saves me a couple of bucks. 3. 20g of Artic MX-4 for ~$20 seems like it should be plenty for 6 CPU's. At that price, I'll buy 2 just in case. I might even crack a few...

I have 3x Dell R620's w/ Xeon E5-2650 (8 Core @ 2.0GHz) each with 384GB RAM, multiple SSD's and Dual 10GbE. Since i already have the sunk cost of the Chassis + RAM I was thinking about upgrading the R620's to give them a new lease on life I already have a 14 server with Dual Xeon E5-2690v2 (10...

Thanks for the suggestion! I pulled the trigger on a Dell R340 w/ 2186G, 64GB RAM, X710 Dual 10Gig, 2x240GB SSD with 5yr support for $2200. Hopefully this will make a difference with my workload.

The two main jobs are (1) CI/CD jobs that even though they are multi threaded, they still take a long time to complete before the next step of the job can run and (2) build of Windows 2016/2019 ISO with the latest updates slipstreamed to speed up VM builds. Its sad that even in Windows 2019 the...

I need help figuring out what hardware is shipping and available that I can use to build a new rack mountable 1U form factor server/workstation class machine with dual power supplies. It will be used as a Build Server to execute software compilations and tests. I currently run these on multiple...

I recently acquired 4x 7050QX-32S. Anyone have the latest firmware for 4.20 or 4.21? TIA!
