According to [motherboard spec] it supports 4 x 240-pin DIMM sockets support max. 8GB DDR2 800/ 667/ 533 ECC and non-ECC memory
The working 1G stick was:
1GB Module - DDR2 800MHz
Part Number: KVR800D2N6/1G (Discontinued)
Specs: DDR2, 800MHz, Non-ECC, CL6, 1.8V, Unbuffered, DIMM,
Disk Configuration
- 4 of the drives are on the internal SATA ports
- 8 are on a HighPoint Technologies rocket raid 2680 via 2 SFF (?) cables
RocketRAID 2680SGL PCI-E to SAS Controller
Open source Linux drivers
Fetch sources from driver page on HighPoint website
Follow instructions on README
If kernel updates break the driver, the existing version of drivers can be rebuilt with:
bash /usr/share/hptdrv/rr2680/dist/hptdrv-rebuild
bash /usr/share/hptdrv/rr2680/dist/hptdrv-update
Card should alway be jumpered for PCI-E 4x (J7 pins 2-3)
If the card is not being detected / ROM is not showing during POST, check jumper configuration
