Collection: Dell PowerEdge R250 RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R250 Memory RAM configuration

Dell PowerEdge R250 Server is a Single processor system with 4 DIMM slots. There are 2 memory channels for the CPU, managing 4 DIMM slots. The R250 does not support options for Load Reduced (LRDIMM) or ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory. ECC Unbuffered is the correct type of RAM for R250.  Different speeds can be mixed; however the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R250 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMMS for the R250 server is 4 slots.
• The R250 supports 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB DDR4 Unbuffered ECC DIMMs.
• The max amount of RAM the Dell R250 server can hold is 128GB of ECC Unbuffered memory (UDIMM).
• The Dell PowerEdge R250 server does not support load-reduced (LRDIMM).
• The R250 supports speeds up to 3200 MT/s.
• When purchasing new memory it is best to purchase identical memory modules to what your system already has. Your current server system configuration will determine the supported DIMM type and speed.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your Dell PowerEdge R250 server can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.

Cloud Ninjas Dell PowerEdge Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the R250?
The PowerEdge R250 server can be upgraded using 4, 8, 16, 32GB. Get your kit from Cloud Ninjas.


2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R250?
The Dell PowerEdge R250 Server supports UDIMM.


3. What is ECC Registered Memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R250 Server does not support registered memory with ECC. ECC memory detects and corrects memory errors within the server environment. Registered (also called buffered) memory modules register between DRAM modules and the system's memory controller. ECC Registered Memory transfers less electrical load to your memory controller which makes it more stable and reliable


4. What is Unbuffered memory?
The R250 Server supports unbuffered memory with ECC. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system's memory controller.


5. What is Load Reduced Memory?
The R250 Server does not support load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM). Load reduced DIMM is designed with a buffer chip (or chips) to replace the register to help minimize loading, the LRDIMM increases server system memory capacity and speed. LRDIMM differs from low capacity, low voltage registered memory modules (LV RDIMM).


6. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R250 Server does not support unbuffered memory with ECC. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system's memory controller.


7. What is Max Configuration for the R250?
The Dell PowerEdge R250 Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 512GB using 4x 128GB UDIMM and cannot be upgraded. Get your memory kits from Cloud Ninjas.


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The Dell PowerEdge R250 Server has 2 channels which house 4 sockets.
9. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
The Dell PowerEdge R250 Server, requires memory to be installed into the first white channel marked A1 for Processor.


10. Where can I order memory for my server?
