Collection: Dell PowerEdge R630 XL RAM Memory Upgrades

Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Memory Configuration

The R630 XL is a Dual Processor system with 12 DIMM slots per CPU. There are four memory channels per CPU. Each memory channel manages three DIMM slots. Along with the standard Registered RDIMMs, the R630 XL also supports options for the Load Reduced LRDIMMS. Different speeds can be mixed but the modules will function at the slowest speed installed.

Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Memory Upgrade Tips

• The total number of DIMM slots for the R630 XL is 24.
• The PowerEdge R630 XL will support 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB or 64GB DDR4 Registered.
• This server will also support 32GB or 64GB Load Reduced Modules (LRDIMM).
• The Maximum amount of RAM the PowerEdge R630 XL server can hold is 1.5TB (24 x 64GB) of Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) memory.
• The Maximum amount of RAM for Load Reduced memory (LRDIMMs) is also 1.5TB.
• 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.
• The PowerEdge R630 XL runs on 2133MHz or 2400MHz memory.
• Think Long Term! Purchase the maximum amount that your PowerEdge R630 XL 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 R630 XL Questions Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Server?
   This depends on the type of memory.  The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Server can be upgraded using 4GB, 8GB, 16GB or 32GB ECC Registered RDIMMs.  Whereas, load reduced would be 16GB, 32GB or 64GB DDR4 LRDIMMs.

2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Server can support memory modules at speeds of 2133, 2400 or 2666MT/s.  Please do know in advance, 2666 MT/s will function at 2400 MT/s which is the actual fastest speed.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL server supports two types of memory: DDR4 ECC Registered RDIMM and DDR4 Load Reduced LRDIMM.  ECC Unbuffered DIMMs not compatible with the R630.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?  Does the Dell R630 XL accept ECC Reg?
   Yes. The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL server supports DDR4 ECC registered memory. 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 R630 XL support ECC UDIMMs?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL 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?  Will LRDIMMs work inside my Dell PowerEdge R630 XL server?
   Yes.  The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL 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. LRDIMMs are different from Low Voltage DIMMs (LVDIMMs). 
   
   
7. Can I mix ECC Reg with Load Reduced memory?
   No.  The Dell PowerEdge R630 Server does not support the use of both LRDIMMs and ECC registered memory at the same time. It is recommended to use identical memory configuration in all channels.
   
   
8. What is max memory configuration for the Dell R630 XL?
   This depends on the type of RAM.  The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL server supports a maximum configuration of 768 GB using twenty-four 32 GB DDR4 ECC Reg RDIMM.  Or the R630 XL can be upgraded to 1.5 TB using twenty-four 64GB DDRR4 quad rank load reduced LRDIMM.

9. How many memory channels does the R630 XL server have?
   The Dell PowerEdge R630 XLserver has 8 memory channels across 2 processors.  This means there are four channels per CPU, and 3 DIMM per channel.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The Dell PowerEdge R630 XL Server, requires memory to be installed beginning with the first white socket, then black socket and then green socket.  A is the first channel.  B is the second channel and so forth.  Dell has color coded the DIMM slots and labeled the motherboard to make it easy to identify.  Refer to technical guide link above for more details.
