Collection: Supermicro X11SRA-F RAM Memory Upgrades

SuperMicro X11SRA-F Motherbard Memory Configuration

The SuperMicro X11SRA-F motherboard is a single processor motherboard capable of housing 8 DIMM slots of RAM memory modules. There are 2 channels for the CPU managing 4 DIMM slots. Along with the ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory, the SuperMicro X11SRA-F 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! This Motherboard does accept DDR4 modules of 2933MHz; however, the max capaicty will decrease overall, where 2933MT/s RDIMMs will decrease to a 256GB of max capacity and 2933 MT/s LRDIMMs will decrease to 512GB of max memory capacity.

Cloud Ninjas' SuperMicro X11SRA-F Memory Upgrade Tips

• The SuperMicro X11SRA-F supports 8GB up to 128GB of RDIMM modules, and up to 128GB of Load Reduced memory (LRDIMM).
• Supports up to 1TB of Load Reduced Memory RAM with a 8x128GB per DIMM configuration.
• Also supports up to 1TB of ECC Registered (RDIMM) memory at 8x128GB.
• Depending on the memory configuration and processor model the RAM speeds may vary between 1600MHz up to 2933MHz. 2933MHz memory modules will limit the max configuration for both RDIMMs and LRDIMMs.
• 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 X11SRA-F 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 X11SRA-F Questions & Answers

1. What Sizes can you use with the X11SRA-F?
X11SRA-F motherboard can be upgraded using 8GB up to 128GB DIMMs, 128GB RDIMM and 128GB for LRDIMM. Get your kit at cloudninjas.com."


2. What Speeds are supported by the SuperMicro X11SRA-F?
The X11SRA-F motherboard supports RAM speeds up to 2933MHz for both RDIMM and LRDIMM, depending on the CPU processor chosen. 2933MHz memory modules will decrease the max capacity of memory the motherboard can receive. 256GB Max capacity for RDIMMs and 512GB Max capacity for LRDIMMs.


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 X11SRA-F motherboard does not support the mix of ECC registered with ECC unbuffered.


7. What is the max configuartion for the X11SRA-F?
The X11SRA-F motherboard supports the standard maximum of 768GB using 6x128GB of LRDIMM and 6x64GB of RDIMM.


8. How many memory channels per CPU?
The SuperMicro X11SRA-F has 2 memory channel which house 8 memory sockets per CPU with a total of 8 DIMM slots in a single processor configuration.


9. How do I identify the start of the memory channels?
The X11SRA-F 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.
