[cisco-voip] CCM 4.1(3) does not boot after RAM upgrade to 1 GB

[Ryan Ratliff]

AFAIK Cisco doesn't even sell memory for MCS servers, we tell you to  
buy it from IBM or HP directly.

I know the HP servers at least are extremely picky about their  
memory.  Most of the time they won't even POST though.

No they do not prevent you from using 3rd party
memory. However it’s possible that you got some bad or
incompatible memory, although this is typically caught
in POST I've seen stranger things. If you remove the
new RAM and boot the system does it boot ok? If not
the memory upgrade is probably not related to the
issue.
I typically buy RAM from Crucial.com or at least use
that to find the RAM I need, some advice, don’t
purchase bottom barrel RAM to save a few bucks for
your production server, spend the extra $ for quality
RAM just don’t go over board and buy it from Cisco,
that’s just crazy. My $0.02
