Cloud Ninjas' Dell PowerEdge R715 Questions & Answers

1. What sizes can you use for the Dell PowerEdge R715 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R715 Server can be upgraded using 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB,
   8 GB, and 16 GB RDIMM or 1 GB, and 2 GB UDIMM. For a 512 GB upgrade, get your 32 GB kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
2. What speeds are supported by the Dell PowerEdge R715 Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R715 Server can support 1333 MHz single and dual rank DIMM and 1066 MHz quad-rank DIMM.
   Note: Two memory modules per channel result in a speed of 800 MHz each, regardless of memory module speed.
   
   
3. What types of RAM are accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R715Server?
   The Dell PowerEdge R715 Server supports UDIMM or RDIMM based on configuration.
   
   
4. What is ECC Registered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R715 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.
   
   
5. What is Unbuffered Memory?
   The Dell PowerEdge R715 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 R715 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 R715 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 R715 Server allows the maximum configuration of up to 256 GB of RDIMM memory with 16 GB dual rank RDIMM. For a 512 GB upgrade, get your 32 GB kit at https://cloudninjas.com/.
   
   
9. How many memory channels per CPU?
   The Dell PowerEdge R715 Server has 2 memory channels and supports up to two single, dual, or quad RDIMM or 2 UDIMM.
   
   
10. How do I identify the start of the memory channel?
    The Dell PowerEdge R715 Server memory must be installed based on the silkscreen designator and System Information Label 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?
    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.
