Collection: Dell PowerEdge R415 RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R415 Memory Configuration

The R415 is a Single Processor system with 8 DIMM slots. There are four memory channels, each managing two DIMM slots. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell R415 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMM slots for the R415 is 8 slots.
• The PowerEdge R415 supports 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB DDR3 registered DIMMs.
• The PowerEdge R415 can accommodate up to 256GB of DDR3 Registered memory.
• The Maximum memory for unbuffered modules would be 32GB, 8 sticks of 4GB.
• Supports 1600MHz, 1333MHz single and dual-rank RDIMMs, 1066MHz quad-rank DIMMs.
• Supports 1333Mhz single rank and dual-rank UDIMMs (for 4GB 
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your PowerEdge R415 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 R415 should equal 2 ,4, or 8. To properly configure your system, install a minimum of two memory modules first.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R415 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R415 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R415 Server can be upgraded using 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB, and 16 GB RDIMM or 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB UDIMM.
   Note: For a 256 GB upgrade, get your 32 GB kit at https://cloudninjas.com.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R415 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R415 Server supports 1066MHz or 1333MHz depending on rank.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R415 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R415 Server supports DDR3 RDIMM and UDIMM with ECC.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R415 Server supports low voltage 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 R415 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 R415 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.
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R415 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. There is support for Sparing which requires a full memory configuration of 8 DIMM.
   
   
8. What is max configuration?
   The Dell PowerEdge R415 Server allows the standard maximum configuration of 128 GB with the use of 8 RDIMM at the size of 16 GB, at 1066 MHz, 1600 mixed.  For a 256 GB upgrade, get your 32 GB RDIMM kit at https://cloudninjas.com.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge R415 Server has 2 channels with 4 slots per channel. For example, Channel A and B each have 4 slots, which is 8 memory sockets, for memory expansion.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    Memory modules on the Dell PowerEdge R415 Server are inserted according to the silkscreen designator and the System Information Label (SIL) located on the chassis cover.
    
    
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?
    Shipping may take up to eight weeks based on stock availability and shipping 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?
No. The memory shipped from Cloud Ninjas is compatible with your Dell system. However, it will not have a Dell sticker. We ship major brands such as Samsung, Hynix and Micron.
