Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge M915 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge M915 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge M915 Server can be upgraded using 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB LV RDIMM.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge M915 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge M915 Server can support up to 1600 MT/s in single, dual, and quad rank LV RDIMM.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge M915 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge M915 Server supports LV RDIMM only.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge M915 Server supports 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 M915 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 M915 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 M915 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 M915 Server allows the maximum configuration of up to 1TB of LV RDIMM memory using 32 GB DIMM.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge M915 Server has 4 memory channels per processor socket and each channel supports up to two LV RDIMMs for single-rank, dual-rank and quad-rank DIMM.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The Dell PowerEdge M915 Server memory must be installed in matched pairs beginning with the sockets marked with white retention levers. All corresponding slots must be identical in configuration. Use the silkscreen designator and the System Information Label (SIL) located on the chassis cover to identify the correct order.
    
    
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.
    
    
14. Is this RAM Dell labeled or Dell branded?
No. The memory shipped from Cloud Ninjas is compatible with your Dell system. However, it will not have a Dell sticker. We ship major brands such as Samsung, Hynix and Micron.
