Collection: Dell PowerEdge R230 XL RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Memory Configuration

The Dell PowerEdge R230 XL 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 XL 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 XL Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server can be upgraded using 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server can support up to 2400 MT/s based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server supports UDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 XL 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 R230 XL Server 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 R230 XL Server does 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 R230 XL 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 R230 XL Server allows the maximum configuration of 64 GB using four 16 GB UDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server has 4 memory sockets which are split into two channels at 2 DIMM per channel.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    Memory for the Dell PowerEdge R230 XL Server must be installed in each channel, starting with the DIMM farthest from the processor at largest to smallest. For example, if DIMM are mixed and you have more single rank DIMM, a single rank DIMM and then a dual rank DIMM are placed in the lowest DIMM slots based on the single rank DIMM count which is higher.
    
    
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?
