Dell PowerEdge R540 Memory Configuration
The Dell PowerEdge R540 is a Dual Processor system with 8 DIMM slots on each CPU. There are four memory channels per CPU, each managing 2 DIMM slots. Along with the standard ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory, the Dell PowerEdge R540 supports options for Load Reduced (LRDIMM) memory. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.
Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R540 Memory Upgrade Tips
- The total number of DIMM for the Dell PowerEdge R540 is 16 slots.
- The Dell PowerEdge R540 support 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB DDR4 ECC Registered. The Maximum amount of RAM the PowerEdge R540 server can hold is 1TB of Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory.
- The Dell PowerEdge R540 also supports load-reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) up to 64GB modules.
- When purchasing new memory it is best to purchase identical memory modules to what your system already has. 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 PowerEdge R540 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 R540 Questions & Answers
- What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R540 Server?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 Server can be upgraded using 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64GB DIMM.
Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
- What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R540 Server?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 Server can support memory modules at speeds of 1866, 2133, 2400, 2666, 2933 and 3200 MT/s.
- What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R540 Server?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 Server supports RDIMM and LRDIMM.
- What is ECC Registered Memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 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.
- What is Unbuffered Memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 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.
- What is Load Reduced Memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 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).
- Can I mix ECC Reg with ECC unbuffered or Non-ECC memory?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 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.
- What is max configuration?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 Server supports the standard maximum configuration of 512 GB using sixteen 32 GB dual rank RDIMM and can be upgraded to 1024 GB using sixteen 64 GB quad rank LRDIMM. Get your kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
- How many memory channels per CPU?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 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.
- How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
The Dell PowerEdge R540 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 R540 Server hardware manual for a diagram of memory channel.
- 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.
- How soon will my RAM arrive?
Shipping may take up to eight weeks based on stock availability and shipping location.
- What is the warranty on memory for the server?
Cloud Ninjas offers a one-year warranty on fully tested, refurbished memory.
