MEMORY Upgrade on Dell R210 (not version II)

is this why the message about the F1 key is happening? or is it something else?

I upgraded, based upon dell's recommendation, the R210 server (66GM3P1) memory with  

http://www.microcenter.com/product/347304/XMS3_Series_8GB_DDR3-1333_(PC3-10666)_CL9_Dual_Channel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_(Two_4GB_Memory_Modules)"

While it seems to be recognized, on BOOT up, the system says that no thermistor was found and this is non-ecc memory and asks for F1 key strike. Once I strike the F1 key, all seems fine. However, if no one is available, the server will not boot and waits forever. Any suggestions???

Thanks

sorry got cut off

It says, on boot up,

Non-ECC DIMM detected on DIMM A3

Non-ECC DIMM detected on DIMM A4

Thermal sensor not detected on DIMM A3

Thermal sensor not detected on DIMM A4

Then Strike the f1 key to continue, F2 to run the system setup program.

It waits forever, so is there anything that I can do?

Hi,

The memory doesn’t match, the original memory is ECC and the new memory is non ECC. You can mix but you will get that error. 

Thanks, Josh

If this is the source of the error is it serious enough to remove the memory that is not exactly the same? It seems to register 16GB memory once it boots. Or, can I inhibit the break-on-error function and ignore it? THank you.

In the system BIOS you can turn off the F1/F2 prompt on error and just ignore it.
