Collection: Supermicro X12STW-TF RAM Memory Upgrades

SuperMicro X12STW-TF Motherbard Memory Configuration

The SuperMicro X12STW-TF motherboard is a single processor motherboard capable of housing 4 DIMM slots of RAM memory modules. There are 2 channels each managing 2 DIMM slots. The Supermicro X12STW-TF supports ECC and non-ECC Unbuffered memory modules (URDIMM). 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 X12STW-TF Memory Upgrade Tips

• The SuperMicro X12STW-TF supports 4GB up to 32GB of UDIMM modules.
• Supports up to 128GB of unbuffered Memory RAM with a 4x32GB per DIMM configuration.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model the RAM speeds may vary between 2666MHz up to 3200MHz for unbuffered 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, UDIMM and LRDIMM must not be mixed.
• Think Long term! Purchase the maximum amount of mory modules that your SuperMicro X12STW-TF 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 X12STW-TF Questions & Answers

1. What Sizes can you use with the X12STW-TF?
X12STW-TF motherboard can be upgraded using 4GB up to 32GB UDIMMs. Get your kit at cloudninjas.com"


2. What Speeds are supported by the SuperMicro X12STW-TF?
The X12STW-TF motherboard supports RAM speeds up to 3200MHz, 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 X12STW-TF motherboard does not support the mix of ECC registered with ECC unbuffered.


7. What is the max configuartion for the X12STW-TF?
The X12STW-TF motherboard supports the standard maximum of 128GB using 4x32GB of UDIMM.


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The SuperMicro X12STW-TF has 2 memory channels which houses 2 memory sockets with a total of 4 DIMM slots in a single processor configuration.


9. How do I identify the start of the memory channels?
The X12STW-TF 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.
