Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R240 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The Dell PowerEdge R240 supports 2GB, 4GB, 8GB,16GB and 32GB DDR4 ECC Unbuffered server memory modules.
• The Dell Dell PowerEdge R240 can hold up to 128GB of memory (4 x 32GB ECC UDIMM)
• The Dell PowerEdge R240 supports speeds up to 2666 MT/s.  2933MT/s and 3200MT/s will function in your R240 with an updated BIOS.  However, they will clock down to 2666MT/s the true fastest speed.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your Dell PowerEdge R240 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.
• DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT MEMORY TYPES.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R240 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R240 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R240 Server can be upgraded using 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, 16 GB and 32 GB. Get your kit from Cloud Ninjas.  Contact sales if any questions.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R240 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R240 Server can support up to 2666 MT/s based on DIMM and configuration.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R240 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R240 Server supports UDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R240 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 R240 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 R240 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 R240 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 R240 Server allows the maximum configuration of 64 GB using four 16 GB UDIMM. Get your kit from Cloud Ninjas!
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge R240 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 R240 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 right here on this page 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.
