Collection: Dell R210 II Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R210 II Memory Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R210 II is a Single Processor system with 4 DIMM slots running on DDR3 modules. There are two memory channels each managing two DIMM slots.  There is only 1 type of RAM supported and that is ECC Unbuffered.  You cannot install ECC Reg or Load Reduced into the R210 II.  Fastest speed is 1333MT/s and anything higher would clock back down.  Different memory speeds can be mixed, but Cloud Ninjas does not recommend mixing speeds as all the faster modules will function at the slowest speed configured.  We only ship and endorse matching memory kits to ensure stability and maximize performance.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R210 II Memory Upgrade Tips

• There are 4 DIMM slots inside the Dell R210 II server.
• The system supports sizes of 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB DDR3 memory.
• The R210 II speeds include 1066, 1333, 1600 and 1866MT/s. Note: 1866 and 1600 will clock down to the true fastest speed which is 1333MT/s.
• It is best to purchase identical matching memory modules.
• There are two memory channels and each memory channel supports 2 DIMM slots.  This is important as you can only install 2 ECC Unbuffered modules per memory channel.
• ECC Registered and Load Reduced server memory are not supported by the Dell PowerEdge R210 II server.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your PowerEdge R210 II 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 PowerEdge R210 II should equal 2 or 4.
• To properly configure your system, install a minimum of two memory modules first.
• Cloud Ninjas recommends 32GB via 4 x 8GB 1333MT/s for the Dell R210 II.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R210 II Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server can be upgraded using 2 GB, 4 GB or 8 GB DIMM. Order your memory upgrade kit today from Cloud Ninjas.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server can support 1066, 1333, 1600 and 1866 speeds.  However, 1866 and 1600 will simply clock down to the true fastest speed which is 1333MT/s.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server supports DDR3 with ECC UDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?  Does the Dell R210 II accept ECC Reg memory?
   Yes. The Dell PowerEdge R210 II 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?  Does the Dell R210 II support ECC Unbuffered memory?
   Yes.  The Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server supports DDR3 ECC unbuffered server memory. 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?  Are LRDIMMs compatible with the Dell R210 II server?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R210 II 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 II 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 memory configuration for my Dell R210 II server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 II server maximum configuration supports up to 32 GB using 4 x 8 GB DIMM. Get your kit from Cloud Ninjas today.
   
   
9. How many memory channels does the R210 II server have?
   The Dell PowerEdge R210 II Server has 2 memory channels and each channel controls 2 DIMM slots.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    You can identify how much memory your motherboard supports by checking your Dell PowerEdge R210 II system manual. 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 II system manual.
    
    
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.
