2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge C8220x Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge C8220x Server can support memory modules at speeds of 800 MT/s, 1333 MT/s, 1600 MT/s and 1866 MT/s.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge C8220x Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge C8220x Server supports UDIMM, RDIMM and LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge C8220x 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 C8220x Server supports 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 C8220x Server supports 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 C8220x 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 C8220x Server supports the standard maximum configuration of up to 512 GB of memory using 16 x 32 GB RDIMM or LRDIMM.  For a 1TB LRDIMM upgrade, get your 64 GB kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge C8220x Server has 4 memory channels which allow up to 16 memory modules in a dual processor configuration. There is one set of eight slots per processor.
   
   
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    When installing memory for the Dell PowerEdge C8220x Server requires installation of memory modules with processor 1, A1. Consult your Dell PowerEdge C8220x Server hardware manual for a diagram of memory channel.
