Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2023-08-13 08:22:49 UTC
When booting muta today, I noticed this in the console in dmesg from boot:
```

```

We should take the opportunity to finally sort out the disk / RAID situation as well.

Please provide a part number for replacement RAM, so that the Trustees can purchase it.

Going off https://web.archive.org/web/20080412024923/http://www.hp.com/products1/servers/rackoptimized/rp3400_series/supplies.html (via https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-9000-and-hpe-e3000-servers/ram-for-hp-9000-rp3440/m-p/4240776), there's:

```
Memory Modules 	
2GB Chip Spare PC2100 DDR-SDRAM memory quad (4 x 512MB) 	A9773A
4GB Chip Spare PC2100 DDR-SDRAM memory quad (4 x 1GB ) 	A9774A
8GB Chip Spare PC2100 DDR-SDRAM memory quad (4 x 2GB ) 	A9775A
16GB Chip Spare PC2100 DDR-SDRAM memory quad (4 x 4GB ) 	AB561A
```

I need to check what we currently have in there (what configuration) which needs a reboot, but I'm expecting someone to be using the machine today.
