Collection: Dell PowerEdge R300 RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R300 Memory Configuration

The R300 is a Single Processor system with 6 DIMM slots. There are 2 memory channels, each managing 3 DIMM slots. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell R300 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The Dell R300 has a total of 6 DIMM slots.
• The PowerEdge R300 supports 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB registered DDR2 DIMMs.
• The PowerEdge R300 can accommodate 512MB to 24GB of registered PC2-4200, or PC2-5300, DDR2 memory with ECC.
• The memory module sockets are arranged in six ranks (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) on two channels (A and B).
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your PowerEdge R300 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 R300 should equal 2 ,4, or 6. To properly configure your system, install a minimum of two memory modules first.

Cloud Ninjas Dell PowerEdge Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the R300?
The PowerEdge R300 server can be upgraded using 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB DIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/


2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R300?
The Dell PowerEdge R300 Server supports RDIMM.


3. What is ECC Registered Memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R300 Server supports 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


4. What is Unbuffered memory?
The R300 Server supports unbuffered memory with ECC. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system's memory controller.


5. What is Load Reduced Memory?
The R300 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).


6. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R300 Server does not support unbuffered memory with ECC. Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system's memory controller.


7. What is Max Configuration for the R300?
The Dell PowerEdge R300 Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 24GB using 6x4GB RDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The Dell PowerEdge R300 Server has 3 channels which house 2 sockets, per processor with a total of 6 sockets in a dual processor configuration.


9. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
The Dell PowerEdge R300 Server, requires memory to be installed into the first white channel marked A1 for Processor 1 and then Processor 2.


10. Where can I order memory for my server?
