You have started many threads where you have never come back and replied, or asked things similar to this which are open ended and/or easily looked up. The command you posted tells you SOMETHING, but it isn't always accurate. It tells me I can only have 4GB in the machine I'm on now, even though I have 8GB installed and being used. |
The kernel prints the brand of the mainboard in early dmesg, like here in line 22. Search for "DMI":
Code:
# dmesg |head -n 25 With the mainboard brand, you can ask the internet for the specs. (This example is from a virtual machine, so it does not say anything about actual hardware) |
thanks reply ,
one more question If I would like to know how many physical memory in each slot currently , how to check it ? thanks |

thanks reply ,
I just would like to confirm the result of the below command can only check the max of memory of the OS is supported , but not the hardware is supported ? dmidecode |grep -i "Maximum Capacity:" | uniq cat /proc/meminfo For how many memory of the hardware is supported , I have to check the vendor ? thanks |
did you try googling your server specs to see
did you try opening it up to count your slots? your server may have specif ways you have to install your RAM depending on how it was manufactured to receive it in whatever configuration one might be able to use. Types of RAM it can use and in what combination? It might not allow mix and matching of RAM. |
why did you start another thread? http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ry-4175592248/
