Collection: Supermicro X11DAC RAM Memory Upgrades

SuperMicro X11DAC Motherbard Memory Configuration

The SuperMicro X11DAC motherboard is a dual processor motherboard capable of housing 16 DIMM slots of RAM memory modules. There are 2 channels per CPU each managing 6 and 2 DIMM slots. Along with the ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory, the SuperMicro X11DAC 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 X11DAC Memory Upgrade Tips

• The SuperMicro X11DAC supports 8GB up to 128GB of RDIMM modules, and up to 128GB of Load Reduced memory(LRDIMM).
• Supports up to 2TB of Load Reduced Memory RAM with a 16x 128GB per DIMM configuration.
• Also supports up to 2TB of ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory at 16x128GB.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model the RAM speeds may vary between 2133 up to 2933MHz.
• 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 X11DAC 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 X11DAC Questions & Answers

1. What Sizes can you use with the X11DAC?
X11DAC motherboard can be upgraded using 8GB up to 128GB DIMMs. Get your kit at cloudninjas.com"


2. What Speeds are supported by the SuperMicro X11DAC?
The X11DAC motherboard supports RAM speeds up to 2933MHz for both RDIMM and LRDIMM


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 X11DAC motherboard does not support the mix of ECC registered with ECC unbuffered.


7. What is the max configuartion for the X11DAC?
The X11DAC motherboard supports the standard maximum of 2TB using 16x 128GB of RDIMM and LRDIMM


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The SuperMicro X11DAC has 2 memory channels which house 6 and 2 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 X11DAC 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.
