1GB 3300 Controller

[forumfrenzy]

Hello,

First post, nice community here!

Here goes: Our controllers all have (1) 512mb sodimm stick in it. Last year at the MITEL Symposium I met with an engineer that said these can go to 1gb on the slot, giving the controllers each a max of 1gb of ram. Has anyone done this yet? Even our high end 3300 crawls with with delays and disk access during operating hours for the day. Our vendor hasn't done one yet and doesn't recommend it. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you

I don't see the benefit in that since the system isn't designed for it. As you point out, it's the disk access that slows things down, not the available ram.

Thank you for the reply. Like with any system though, the more ram you have the less work the disk will have to do. Instead of constantly using the disk for temporary memory per say, it will rely on more ram space. Cutting down on r/w actions overall.

Unless the MITEL system doesn't operate like that to begin with.. I also hope someone chimes in that is actually running 1GB and has stories to share.

:-D

I may be wrong here but I have seen no Mitel Documentation to say any of the controllers can use 1gb of RAM,
If I am correct it would devoid any warranty and support from Mitel and you will find little advise as such.

Your probably right, I couldn't find anything looking through docs and the user group stuff either.. That probably answers my question.

There is not 1G module for any Mitel controller that I can find. Not sure if that person was pulling your leg. I guess the system could take it but if the software or BIOS is not looking for it would it be of any value.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.

haha, of course, any warranty/support would be void, I figured that was a given...

When you say it's slow, I take it you mean ESM access. In that case, it's true, it isn't designed to make use of ram. Everything it reads is out of the database, which isn't stored in ram, it's on the drive.

depending on their age (pata or sata) you can put a ssd in there which speeds things up somewhat on the disk access side of things...
