2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server can support memory modules at speeds of 1866, 2133, 2400, 2666, and 2933 MT/s.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server supports RDIMM and LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server supports registered memory with ECC. ECC Registered Memory detects and corrects single-bit errors in memory using parity bits and a series of mathematical equations. In ECC Registered memory, Registers (also called buffers) sit between the memory module’s address bus and the physical memory chips.
   
   
5. What is Unbuffered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server does not support unbuffered memory with ECC. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no registers (also called buffers). Unbuffered memory can be ECC (for entry-level servers and workstations) or Non-ECC (for desktops and laptops).
   
   
6. What is Load Reduced Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server does support load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM). ECC Load Reduced Memory detects and corrects single-bit errors in memory using parity bits and a series of mathematical equations and reduces electrical load on the system’s memory controller when compared to other types of memory modules. In ECC Load Reduced memory, Registers (also called buffers) sit between the memory module’s address bus and the physical memory chips. Additional registers also sit between the Memory chips and the data bus, further reducing load on the system’s memory controller in comparison to ECC registered memory.
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge FC430 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 FC430 Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 256 GB using eight 32 GB RDIMM and can be upgraded to 512 GB using eight 64 GB LRDIMM. Get your 32 GB kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server has 2 channels which house 8 DIMM sockets. The system memory is organized with two sets of 4 sockets.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The Dell PowerEdge FC430 Server, requires memory to be installed beginning with the channels marked A1 through A4 for Processor 1 and B1 through B4 for Processor 2.
    
    
11. Where can I order memory for my server?
