Collection: Dell C6145 Memory Upgrades

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge C6145 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The C6145 has a total of 12 DIMM slots.
• The PowerEdge C6145 will support 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB DDR3 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs).
• The PowerEdge C6145 will support up to 1TB of 10600 registered quad-rank low-voltage DIMMS. It will also support up to 512GB 12800 registered quad-rank low-voltage DIMMS
• When purchasing new memory it is best to purchase identical memory modules to what your system already has. Your current server configuration will determine the supported DIMM type and speed.
• Speed options for the PowerEdge C6145 are 1333MHz or 1600MHz depending on the type of memory configuration.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your PowerEdge C6145 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.
• The total number of memory modules that you should have in your PowerEdge C6145 should equal 4, 8, 12, 16, or 32. To properly configure your system, install a minimum of four memory modules first.

2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server can support memory modules at speeds of 800 MT/s, 1333 MT/s and 1600 MT/s.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server supports RDIMM and LV RDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server supports registered memory and low voltage 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.
   
   
5. What is Unbuffered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 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.
   
   
6. What is Load Reduced Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 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.
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server does not support the use of both unregistered and registered memory with ECC or the use of non-ECC memory. It is recommended to use identical memory configuration in all channels.
   
   
8. What is max configuration?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server supports the standard configuration of up to 512 GB of memory using 16 x 32 GB RDIMM or LV RDIMM. For a 1TB upgrade, get your 32 GB kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server has 4 memory channels which allow up to 2 memory modules per channel, per processor. Each channel can hold a maximum of up to 64 GB using two 32 gigabyte memory modules.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    When installing memory for the Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server, install single and dual rank memory in the channel marked CHA_DIMM1. Consult your Dell PowerEdge C6145 Server hardware manual for a diagram of memory channel.
    
    
11. 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.
    
    
12. How soon will my RAM arrive?
    Shipping may take up to eight weeks based on stock availability and shipping location.
    
    
13. What is the warranty on memory for the server?
    Cloud Ninjas offers a one-year warranty on fully tested, refurbished memory.
