does anyone know what J30s pair is? We removed J30 and tried to boot it up and then it complained about J28. We then removed J28 and it wouldn't even attempt to boot.

As was mentioned, the J30 DIMM is marked on the motherboard. Try reseating the memory module and see if you get past it. If not, remove the memory module. Realize: you are running with half of your memory as the system uses the modules in pairs...removing one effectively removes two. If you have a large capacity system, you may run into problems as well....

here's the error on bootup:
Alpha Open Firmware by FirmWorks Copyright 1995-2000 FirmWorks, Network Appliance. All Rights Reserved. Firmware release 2.8_a2
Memory size is 1024 MB Testing SIO Testing LCD Probing devices Testing 1024MB Clearing ECC Stuck-at:283MB,3 Replace DIMM J30 Startup aborted
Unfortunately I do not currently have support from Netapp for this filer so I need to find a short term solution to my problem. The error above points out the bad dimm that needs replacement.
1. Can I just remove the bad dimm and run with less memory temporarily?
2. I have a spare F740 that I can rob parts from, can I take a DIMM from there and replace the bad one in this F760?
3. How do I locate DIMM J30?
any and all help is really apprecaited.
Thanks Dan
may be your mother board is dead
try to run a diagnostic floppy on your filer
