Collection: Dell PowerEdge R960 RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R960 Memory RAM configuration

Dell PowerEdge R960 Server is a dual processor system with 32 DIMM slots on each CPU. There are 2 memory channel per CPU, each managing 16 slots. The Dell PowerEdge R960 supports only the new DDR5 ECC Registered memory. Different speeds can be mixed; however the modules will function at the slowest speed installed. The Maximum speed RAM can run on the Dell PowerEdge R960 is 4800MT/s. Keep in mind, the CPU you choose also impacts the available speeds your RAM can run.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R960 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMMS for the R960 server is 64 slots.
• The R960 supports 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB, 256GB DDR5 ECC registered DIMMs. The max amount of Registered Memory RAM the Dell R960 server can hold is 16.38TB (RDIMM) and it will run at 4800MHz.
• The R960 supports speeds up to 4800MT/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.
• LRDIMM is not supported.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your Dell PowerEdge R960 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 R960 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the R960?
The PowerEdge R960 server can be upgraded using 16, 32, 64, 128, 256GB DIMMs. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/


2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R960?
The Dell PowerEdge R960 Server supports RDIMM at 4800MHz.


3. What is ECC Registered Memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R960 Server supports 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 R960 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.


5. What is Load Reduced Memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R960 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 R960 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 R960?
The Dell PowerEdge R960 Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 16.38TB using 64x 256GB RDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The Dell PowerEdge R960 Server has 2 channel which houses 32 sockets per processor with a total of 64 sockets in the dual processor configuration.


9. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
The Dell PowerEdge R960 Server, requires memory to be installed into the first white channel marked A1 for Processor 1 and then Processor 2 if server is a dual or quad processor system.


10. Where can I order memory for my server?
Order your memory at https://cloudninjas.com/ by finding and selecting the memory package that is right for you.


11. How soon will my RAM arrive?
