Mikrotik CCR1072 new with 4Gb of ram less

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hello,


I sent ticket to support 36 hours ago and I have not been answered, it is urgent because it is a new unit and I need it to work or make rma. Can any of the administrators help me?

I have two new CCR1072 units, one of them shows the correct memory (16Gb) (1072_02) but the other unit shows 4Gb of RAM less (12Gb) (1072_01).

Both are new, same routerboard, same package but this difference.

Also when I try to activate the traffic-flow in which it has less memory does not allow me giving error.

failure: cache too big to fit in memory

Have you tried any troubleshooting yourself while you wait?
Maybe try reseating the memory, or try swapping the memory with the good unit to verify bad memory vs bad cpu?
Have you tried swapping the memory with known good memory? Most Sys Admins would keep known good memory on hand for just these situations.

Most Sys Admin would have no problem changing it if it were not integrated memory into motherboard. :frowning:

Really? Please post a pic.
Every CCR1072 I’ve worked with has two DIMMs

In this case you never work with 1072, you probably worked with 1036 8g-2s+

Yes, you are correct. The 1072’s have soldered on ECC ram. You will need to RMA the unit.
Send a supout.rif to support@mikrotik.com to start the process.

Actually - You should be returning this to the seller and have them advance replace the unit.

I send file 2 days ago. I had hope that they could respond to try some option to recover the memory or to manage rma, because as I say it is a new unit.

The provider is aware, but it tells me to wait for the support response to manage it, in case there is another solution.

Regards.

Finally support has said today that it negotiates with the seller the rma.

Today (3 months later) I received a “NEW” unit to replace the defective one with 12Gb of ram, and I am again with this:

Different serial number but same error???

Your quality test are null??

Is the same unit with serial changed?

Other 3 months waiting replace???

I also have this problem too, my router see only RAM: 11.8GB too,

12

I too have this issue on one of my two new units I received yesterday. Already arranging an RMA on the defective unit. Seems like this is a repeating issue and that Mikrotik’s hardware OEM needs to be testing these better for them.

If they are new, you should go to the reseller where you buy them! ASAP!

i have a situation with a ccr1072 showing only 8gb of ram
