Collection: Dell PowerEdge R440 RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R440 Memory Installation and Overview

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R440 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMM  for the Dell PowerEdge R440 is 16 slots.
• The PowerEdge R440 support 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB DDR4 ECC Registered. The Maximum amount of RAM the PowerEdge R440 server can hold is 1TB of Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory.
• The Dell PowerEdge R440 also supports load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMM) up to 2TB.
• When purchasing memory upgrades it is best to purchase identical memory modules. Your current server configuration will determine the supported DIMM type and speed.
  
• RDIMM and LRDIMM must not be mixed.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your Dell PowerEdge R440 can hold and avoid wasting time and money on modules you won't be able to use if you upgrade again.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R440 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R440 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 Server can be upgraded using 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 GB DIMM.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R440 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 Server can support memory modules at speeds of 2400, 2666 and 2933 MT/s.  3200MT/s is supported with 2nd Gen Scalable Processors but will clock down to 2933MT/s.  1st Gen Scalable processors max out at 2666 speed.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R440 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 Server supports RDIMM and LRDIMM.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 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.
   
   
5. What is Unbuffered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 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.
   
   
6. What is Load Reduced Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 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. Hyper-cloud DIMM (HCDIMM or HDIMM) is considered load reduced memory which is 240-pin, 72 bit wide. LRDIMM differs from low capacity, low voltage registered memory modules (LV RDIMM).
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 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 R440 Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 1TB using 16 x 64 GB dual rank RDIMM and can be upgraded to 2TB using 16 x 128 GB quad rank LRDIMM in a dual processor system.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge R440 Server has 6 memory channels per processor. Processor 1 has 10 memory sockets; two white channels support 2 DIMM per channel and two black channels which support 1 DIMM per channel. Processor 2 has six memory sockets, each support 1 DIMM per channel.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The Dell PowerEdge R440 Server, requires memory to be installed into the first white channel marked A1 for Processor 1 and then Processor 2 the first white channel marked B1. Consult your Dell PowerEdge R440 Server hardware manual for a diagram of memory channel.
    
    
11. Where can I order memory for my server?
    Order your memory from Cloud Ninjas 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?
    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.
