Collection: Dell PowerEdge R330 RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R330 Memory Configuration

The Dell R330 has 4 DIMM slots running on DDR4 Memory.  There are two memory channels.  Each channel supports two DIMM slots.  For memory configurations with 2 DIMMs, make sure to install in the start of each channel to maximize performance.  Sizes are 4GB, 8GB and 16GB.  Speeds are 2133MT/s, 2400MT/s and 2666MT/s.  Anything higher than 2400MT/s will clock down.  The only type of RAM supported by the PowerEdge R330 is ECC Unbuffered.  ECC Reg and Load Reduced are not compatible.  64GBs via 4 x 16GB 2400MT/s is the highest memory configuration for the Dell PER330.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R330 Memory Upgrade Tips

• There are 4 DIMM slots operating on DDR4 memory.
• The Dell PowerEdge R330 supports 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB DDR4 memory modules.  Unfortunately, 32GB DIMMs are not accepted.
• Dell's R330 supports speeds of 2133MT/s, 2400 MT/s or 2666MT/s.  Note: 2666 will clock down to 2400MT/s which is the fastest possible speed.
• ECC Unbuffered, also know as a server UDIMM, is the only type of RAM supported by the Dell R330.
• ECC Registered, also know as ECC Reg or RDIMM, is not compatible with the R330 server.
• Load Reduced, also known as LRDIMM, is not accepted by the PowerEdge R330 server.
• The Dell PowerEdge R330 can hold up to 64GB of memory (4 x 16GB) DDR4 2400MT/s ECC Unbuffered server memory.
• There are 2 memory channels.  Each memory channel controls 2 DIMM slots.
• The R230 and R330 utilize the same type of memory.
• Think Long Term! Buy the max amount of memory for your Dell PowerEdge R330.
• DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT MEMORY TYPES.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R330 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R330 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R330 Server can be upgraded using 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB memory modules. Get your 64GB upgrade kit from Cloud Ninjas
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R330 Server Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R330 Server can support up to 2400 MT/s based on DIMM and configuration.  2133MT/s, 2400MT/s and 2666MT/s are all supported but 2666 clocks down and functions at 2400MT/s speed.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R330 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R330 Server supports ECC Unbuffered (server UDIMM).  ECC Registered is not compatible.  Load Reduced is not accepted.  Only ECC Unbuffered memory.  Very important.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?  Does the PowerEdge R330 support ECC Reg?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R330 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 R330 accept ECC UDIMMs?
   Yes.  The Dell PowerEdge R330 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?  Will my Dell PowerEdge R330 work with LRDIMMs?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R330 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?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R330 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 the Dell R330 server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R330 server allows the maximum configuration of 64 GB using four 16 GB ECC UDIMMs. Get your upgrade kit from Cloud Ninjas.
   
   
9. How many memory channels does the R330 have?
   The Dell PowerEdge R330 server has 4 memory sockets which are split into two memory channels with 2 DIMMs per channel.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    Dell has labeled and color coded the motherboard.  White DIMM slots are the first slot in the channel.  Black DIMM slots are the second slot in the channel  A = the first channel and B = the second channel.  Memory for the Dell PowerEdge R330 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 Dell R330 server?
    Order your memory right here on this page by finding and selecting the memory package that is right for you.  Contact our sales team if you prefer another method.
    
    
12. How soon will my Dell R330 RAM arrive?
    Orders placed before 8 am are set for same day processing and shipping. Delivery times vary based on carrier and location.
