MemTest Deluxe $14: bootable CD/USB version, delivered via emailThe Deluxe package includes the Windows native Pro version. It adds a 64-bit version of MemTest that runs directly from a bootable CD or USB drivewithout loading your OS first. This version can be run on any PC that supports CSM/legacy BIOS boot, and does not require any sort of installation. Plus, since it does not load an OS, it can directly access and test all of your RAM. This is a great disk for computer technicians. It also uses the rate that memory is checked as a basic speed benchmark. This can be useful if you are trying different BIOS settings. Not only will MemTest tell you if your RAM is still stable, but it will also indicate if the tweaks you have made improve RAM performance.
The Deluxe version is delivered electronically via email. We provide instructions for writing it to CD or a usb stick.
i tested the usb boot disk on a couple of computers but not a server.
Supermicro X9SCL+-F $49 from ebay
Urmm ok. It is good practice to have IPMI enabled and configured on a isolated Network/VLAN separated from everything else i.e Management Network VLAN.
Not even heard of that what you are talking about Memtest dulux, i only use Memtest86 via PXE Booting its easier that way. Instead of messing around i would just run Memtest for 24 hours.
