here's the error on bootup:

. . .

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?

Yes, although you will probably notice a performance hit. Also, they work in pairs so you will drop from 1GB straight to 512MB even if you leave it's parner in.

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?

They are different sizes (740 is 4 x 128, 760 is 4 x 256). Also, they work in pairs. You might yield 768MB, or the system might complain. I haven't tried this - sorry :o)

3. How do I locate DIMM J30?

The DIMM slots are marked on the mainboard.
