Collection: Supermicro X12DDW-A6 RAM Memory Upgrades

SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 Motherbard Memory Configuration

The SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 motherboard is a dual processor motherboard capable of housing 16 DIMM slots of RAM memory modules. There are 1 channel per CPU each managing 8 DIMM slots. Along with the ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory, the SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 also supports Load Reduced memory modules (LRDIMM). Different speeds can be mixed; however, the modules will function at the lowest speeds installed. CPU's impact what speeds the RAM can run on!

Cloud Ninjas' SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 Memory Upgrade Tips

• The SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 supports 16GB up to 256GB of RDIMM modules, as well as for Load Reduced memory (LRDIMM).
• Supports up to 4TB of Load Reduced Memory RAM with a 16x256GB per DIMM configuration.
• Also supports up to 4TB of ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory at 16x256GB.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model the RAM speeds may vary between 2666MHz up to 3200MHz for both registered or load reduces memory.
• When purchasing a new memory it is best to purchase identical memory modules to what your system already runs. Your current server configuration will determine the supported DIMM type and its speed.
• RDIMM and LRDIMM must not be mixed.
• Think Long term! Purchase the maximum amount of mory modules that your SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 can hold and avoid waiting time and money on modules that you will not be able to use if you upgrade again.

Cloud Ninjas' SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 Questions & Answers

1. What Sizes can you use with the X12DDW-A6?
X12DDW-A6 motherboard can be upgraded using 16GB up to 256GB DIMMs RDIMM or LRDIMM. Get your kit at cloudninjas.com"


2. What Speeds are supported by the SuperMicro X12DDW-A6?
The X12DDW-A6 motherboard supports RAM speeds up to 3200MHz for both RDIMM and LRDIMM, depending on the CPU processor chosen.


3. What is 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


4. What is Load Reduced memory?
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. LRDIMM differs from low capacity, low voltage registered memory modules (LV RDIMM).


5. What is Unbuffered memory?
Unbuffered memory is memory that has no register between your DRAM and your system's memory controller.


6. Can I mix ECC Registered with ECC Unbuffered?
The SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 motherboard does not support the mix of ECC registered with ECC unbuffered.


7. What is the max configuartion for the X12DDW-A6?
The X12DDW-A6 motherboard supports the standard maximum of 4TB using 16x256GB of LRDIMM and 16x256GB of RDIMM


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The SuperMicro X12DDW-A6 has 1 memory channels which house 8 memory sockets per CPU with a total of 16 DIMM slots in a dual processor configuration.


9. How do I identify the start of the memory channels?
The X12DDW-A6 motherboard requires memory to installed into the first channel marked as A1 for each processor the motherboard has.


10. Where can I order memory for my SuperMicro motherboard?
Order your memory at https://cloudninjas.com/ by finding and selecting the memory package that is right for you.


11. 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.


12. What is the warranty on memory for the server?
Cloud Ninjas offers a one-year warranty on fully tested, refurbished memory.
