Memory

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd Server has a total of 24 DIMM slots which makes this system great in terms of scalability. This system accepts DDR4 memory. ECC Registered (RDIMMs), Load Reduced (LRDIMMs), and Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory (DCPMM) can be used with the R740xd, but you cannot mix these two types. Capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. 128GB is only available with LRDIMMs and 256GB and 512GB are only available with DCPMM. With Load Reduced and Intel Optane, you can achieve an overall greater RAM capacity. With ECC Registered memory, you can achieve a max of 1.5TB with a configuration of 24x64GB modules. With Load Reduced, the max you can achieve is 3TB with a configuration of 24x128GB modules. With Intel Optane alone, 6.14TB can be acheived with 12x512GB modules. The Dell R740xd supports memory speeds of 2133MT/s, 2400MT/s, 2666MT/s, 2933MT/s, and 3200MT/s. The processor you have installed will determine the max memory speed that you can use with your system. For example, if your processor supports a max memory speed off 2666MT/s and you install a 2933MT/s module, the module will clock down to 2666MT/s. 2933MT/s is the fastest possible speed for this system.

Memory

The Dell PowerEdge R740xd Server has a total of 24 DIMM slots which makes this system great in terms of scalability. This system accepts DDR4 memory. ECC Registered (RDIMMs), Load Reduced (LRDIMMs), and Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory (DCPMM) can be used with the R740xd, but you cannot mix these two types. Capacities of 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. 128GB is only available with LRDIMMs and 256GB and 512GB are only available with DCPMM. With Load Reduced and Intel Optane, you can achieve an overall greater RAM capacity. With ECC Registered memory, you can achieve a max of 1.5TB with a configuration of 24x64GB modules. With Load Reduced, the max you can achieve is 3TB with a configuration of 24x128GB modules. With Intel Optane alone, 6.14TB can be acheived with 12x512GB modules. The Dell R740xd supports memory speeds of 2133MT/s, 2400MT/s, 2666MT/s, 2933MT/s, and 3200MT/s. The processor you have installed will determine the max memory speed that you can use with your system. For example, if your processor supports a max memory speed off 2666MT/s and you install a 2933MT/s module, the module will clock down to 2666MT/s. 2933MT/s is the fastest possible speed for this system.
