Dell PowerEdge R230 Memory Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R230 has four DDR4 memory slots and 1 CPU.  The 4 DIMM slots are divided into two memory channels, which house two DIMM slots per channel. This system requires 288 pin DDR4 ECC Unbuffered server memory modules to manage its single central processing unit.  ECC Reg and Load Reduced memory are compatible with the PowerEdge R230 server.  Speeds are 2133MT/s, 2400MT/s and 2666MT/s.  Note 2666 operates at 2400.  Sizes are 4GB, 8GB or 16GB.  Unfortunately, 32GBs are not supported.  Max memory configuration for the Dell R230 is 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4 2400MT/s ECC Unbuffered.  If you mix different speeds, then the modules will operate at the slowest speed installed.  We only ship and recommend configuring your memory with matching upgrade kits.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R230 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R230 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 Server can be upgraded using single and dual rank 4 GB, 8 GB,  or 16 GB DIMM. Get your memory upgrade kit from Cloud Ninjas!
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R230 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 Server can support 1600, 1866, 2133, 2400 or 2666 MT/s unbuffered DIMM.   Note: 2666MT/s will operate at the true fastest speed which is 2400MT/s.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R230 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 server only supports DDR4 ECC Unbuffered server memory, also know as a Server UDIMM.  Non-ECC Unbuffered (desktop UDIMMs) are not compatible.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?  Does the Dell R230 accept ECC Reg RAM?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R230 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?  Will my PowerEdge R230 work with ECC UDIMMs?
   Yes.  The Dell PowerEdge R230 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?  Is the Dell R230 compatible with LRDIMMs?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R230 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 R230 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 R230 server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 server allows the maximum configuration of 64 GB using  four x 16 GB DDR4 2400MT/s ECC Unbuffered memory. Get your 64GB memory upgrade kit from Cloud Ninjas today.
   
   
9. How many memory channels does the R230 server have?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 Server has two memory channels which support two DIMM each.  There are a total of 4 memory slots in a single processor configuration.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel for the Dell R230?
    The Dell PowerEdge R230 Server requires that DIMM sockets be populated sequentially based on the first white slot which is channel A1.  White = first slot in channel.  Black = second slot in channel.  A = first channel.  B = second channel.
    
    
11. Where can I order memory for my Dell PowerEdge R230 server?
