Collection: Supermicro X11SCA-W Memory Upgrades

SuperMicro X11SCA-W Motherbard Memory Configuration

The SuperMicro X11SCA-W motherboard is a single processor motherboard capable of housing 4 DIMM slots of RAM memory modules. There are 1 channel managing 4 DIMM slots. The Supermicro X11SCA-W motherboard only supports ECC Unbuffered or Non-ECC Unbuffered memory. 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 X11SCA-W Memory Upgrade Tips

• The SuperMicro X11SCA-W supports 2GB up to 32GB of ECC UDIMM modules, and up to 32GB of Non-ECC UDIMMs.
• Supports up to 128GB of ECC Unbuffered Memory RAM with a 4x32GB per DIMM configuration.
• Also supports up to 128GB of Non-ECC Unbuffered (UDIMM) memory at 4x32GB.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model the RAM speeds may vary between 1600MHz up to 2666MHz.
• 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.
• Unbuffered, RDIMM and LRDIMM must not be mixed.
• Think Long term! Purchase the maximum amount of mory modules that your SuperMicro X11SCA-W 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 X11SCA-W Questions & Answers

1. What Sizes can you use with the X11SCA-W?
X11SCA-W motherboard can be upgraded using 2GB up to 32GB DIMMs, 32GB ECC UDIMM and 32GB for Non-ECC UDIMM. Get your kit at cloudninjas.com"


2. What Speeds are supported by the SuperMicro X11SCA-W?
The X11SCA-W motherboard supports RAM speeds up to 2666MHz for both ECC UDIMM and Non-ECC UDIMM, 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 X11SCA-W motherboard does not support the mix of ECC registered with ECC unbuffered.


7. What is the max configuartion for the X11SCA-W?
The X11SCA-W motherboard supports the standard maximum of 128GB using 4x32GB of ECC UDIMM and 4x32GB of Non-ECC UDIMM.


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The SuperMicro X11SCA-W has 1 memory channels which house 4 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 X11SCA-W 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.
