Collection: Dell PowerEdge R210 Memory Upgrade

Dell PowerEdge R210 Memory Configuration

The R210 is a Single Processor system with 4 DIMM slots running on DDR3 memory. There are two memory channels each managing two DIMM slots.  Speeds supported include 1066, 1333, 1600 and 1866MT/s.  Note 1333MT/s is the fastest speed so anything higher would clock down.  Sizes are 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB.  There is only 1 type of RAM supported and that is ECC Unbuffered. The max memory configuration for the Dell PowerEdge R210 server is 32GB via 4 x 8GB DDR3 1333MT/s ECC Unbuffered Server Memory.  Different memory speeds can be mixed, but do know the DIMM will operate at the slowest speed installed.  We recommend and only ship matching memory kits to ensure stable performance.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R210 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The number of DIMM slots in the Dell PowerEdge R210 is 4 slots.
• The Dell R210 is operated by DDR3 memory architecture.
• The system supports 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB modules.
• Speeds accepted are 1066MT/s, 1333MT/s, 1600MT/s or 1866MT/s.  Note: 1866 and 1600 will clock down to 1333MT/s, which is the fastest speed possible.
• ECC unbuffered memory is the only type of RAM supported.
• ECC Registered memory is not compatible with the Dell R210
• Load Reduced memory is not accepted by the PowerEdge R210.
• It is best to purchase identical memory modules. Your current server configuration will determine the supported DIMM type and speed.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your Dell PowerEdge R210 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 Dell PowerEdge R210 should equal 2 or 4. To properly configure your system, install a minimum of two memory modules first.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R210 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R210 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 Server can be upgraded using 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB DIMM. Get your 32GB upgrade kits from Cloud Ninjas.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R210 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 Server supports 1066MHz or 1333 MHz.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R210 Server?
   Dell PowerEdge R210 Server supports UDIMM only.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?  Does the R210 support ECC Reg RAM?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R210 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 ECC Unbuffered Memory?  Is the R210 compatible with ECC unbuffered memory?
   Yes.  The Dell PowerEdge R210 server supports unbuffered memory with ECC.  This is the only type of memory supported. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system’s memory controller. ECC = Error Correction Code.
   
   
6. What is Load Reduced Memory?  Does the R210 accept LRDIMMs?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R210 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. 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?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R210 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 for my Dell R210 server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 Server maximum configuration supports 32GB with 4 x 8GB 1333MT/s, inserted in Slots 1, 2, 3 and 4.  Always use matching DIMMs. Get your R210 upgrade kit from Cloud Ninjas today.
   
   
9. How many memory channels does the R210 server have?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 server has 2 memory channels.  Each memory channel supports 2 DIMM slots.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    Great question.  The R210 has been labeled and color coded by Dell.  White is the first slot in the memory channel and black is the second slot.  A is the first channel and B is the second channel.  You can identify the memory channels on your motherboard by checking the Dell PowerEdge R210 system manual or just simply looking at the motherboard itself. The number of channels needed can be identified by the number of memory modules included in your kit. To determine the start of the memory channel on the motherboard look for the appropriate markings on your motherboard or refer to your Dell PowerEdge R210 system manual.
