Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMM for the Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 is 2 slots.
• The Dell PowerEdge supports 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB DDR3 ECC UDIMM
• The Maximum amount of RAM the Dell PowerEdge https://i.dell.com/sites/csdocuments/Shared-Content_data-Sheets_Documents/en/us/Dell-PowerEdge-FM120x4-Spec-Sheet.pdf server can hold is 16GB of Unbuffered DIMM memory (UDIMM).
• 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.
  
• UDIMM and RDIMM must not be mixed.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 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 FM120x4 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server can be upgraded using 2, 4, or 8 GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server can support memory modules at speeds of up to 1600 MT/s.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server supports UDIMM only.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 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.
   
   
5. What is Unbuffered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 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 FM120x4 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. Hyper-cloud DIMM (HCDIMM or HDIMM) is considered load reduced memory which is 240-pin, 72 bit wide. LRDIMM differs from low capacity, low voltage registered memory modules (LV RDIMM).
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 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 FM120x4 Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 16 GB using two 8 GB UDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server has 2 channels per node which house 2 DIMM.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The Dell PowerEdge FM120x4 Server, requires memory to be installed into the first white channel marked A1 for Processor 1, inserting in sequential order and then Processor 2 the first white channel marked B1.
    
    
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?
    Orders placed before 8 am are set for same day processing and shipping. Delivery times vary based on carrier and location.
    
    
13. What is the warranty on memory for the server?
    Cloud Ninjas offers a one-year warranty on fully tested, refurbished memory.
