I have been working on maxing out my Sun Blade 2500 Silver. It
currently has both CPU's, 8 gb ram and Open Boot Prom 4.16.4

I purchased 8 2gb dimms to upgrade it to 16 gb. In theory the current
firmware level should work however any combination of them I have
tried gives the "3 beeps and power off" memory compatibility error.

I am hoping someone here has one of these files ( from

tPROM_UltraSPARC_IIIi.html
):

Sun Blade 2500 (Silver) (1.600GHz) - 1M C 8 (Patch 118321 or 119233)
375-3192 / 375-3193 / 375-3194

Flash PROM Revision
525-2100-03OBP 4.16 Version 2
525-2100-04OBP 4.16 Version 3
525-2100-05OBP 4.16 Version 4 + POST 4.16.3 + OBDIAG 4.16.4 (Patch 118321-01)
119233-01OBP 4.17 Version 1 + POST 4.17.1 + OBDIAG 4.17.1
119233-02OBP 4.17 Version 3 + POST 4.17.3 + OBDIAG 4.17.3
140689-01OBP 4.30 Version 3 + POST 4.30.3 + OBDIAG 4.30.3 (not ECO released)
140689-02OBP 4.30.4.a + POST 4.30.4.a + OBDIAG 4.30.4.a (not ECO released)

There are links to the 4.17.1 & up files but of course, this being
Oracle, "You do not have the required access privilege to download
this patch."

Anyone?

Thank you,

William
