NGX memory requirements.

[chickey]

Hi,
I've got a IP380 at two sites that i want to upgrade from R55 on ipso 3.8 to NGX R62 or R65 if it's out soon on ipso 4.1 but they only have 256mb of memory, is there a recommended minimum. I'm trying to get a 1gb upgrade at the moment but it's proving hard to find, would 512mb be enough?

Thanks
Col.

hi, heres a link to the supported platforms & requirements for r62

Try KINGSTON, INTEL, DELL, IBM, COMPAQ, HP, CISCO, VIKING, DDR2, DDR, SDRAM MEMORY www . upgradebay . com for the memory. We just got some used IP530 memory from them for about half price, still in a Nokia box.

How much bandwidth do you have? Are you going to run QoS?

I've got a couple of IP530's running R61 with 512 MB on IPSO 4.1 and they're fine.

Hi Ray,
Thanks for the info. I bought some memory from crucial.com, it had to be PC133 ECC SDRAM for the IP380 but it just wouldn't power on when i replaced the server. I had seen the upgrade bay pages when searching but as i'm in the uk it'd be a bit akward to purchase it. Might have to look into it though if i can't source any locally in the uk.

If not i'll look at a 512mb option as i'm not using QoS and only have a 4mb inbound connection so from what you've mention that might suffice. Never easy this stuff is it :)

Thanks
Col.
