Dell PowerEdge R710 Server Review & Overview | Memory Install Tips | How to Configure System

Dell PowerEdge R710 Server Memory "How To Guide" for proper RAM configuration and installation. Here you will find a good review on best practices for loading your memory modules and a helpful overview on all the different options including sizes, speeds and type of memory supported.

Let's get started! The Dell PowerEdge R710 has 18 DIMM slots. This is the next gen server following the 2950 and the R710 is the 2U older brother to the R610. Size options include 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB or 32GB DDR3 server memory. Speed options include 1066MHz, 1333MHz or 1600MHz. There are only two choices regarding type of memory supported. ECC Registered (RDIMMs) or ECC Unbuffered (Server UDIMMs). The best option is very clear in our opinion. We always recommend ECC Registered over ECC Unbuffered. You will be able to scale to a higher capacity and the cost per GB is less expensive for ECC Reg over ECC Unbuffered. One question we hear a lot. Will Load Reduced (LRDIMM) Memory be supported by my Dell R710 server? Unfortunately, Load Reduced DIMMs are not accepted by the Dell PowerEdge R710 server. Max configuration is 384GB via (12 x 32GB) DDR3 1600MHz ECC Registered Server Memory. Which leads to another question we hear a lot. Why can't I put 18 x 32GB into my R710? Excellent question. We will solve this riddle in our video today!

The Dell PowerEdge R710 has two LGA1366 processor sockets running on Intel 5500 or 5600 series CPUs. Options are dual core, quad core or hex core. Each Intel processor controls 9 DIMM slots. There are three Memory Channels per CPU which means three DIMMs per memory channel. That is very key. This means the R710 is subject to the rank rule preventing users from loading up 3 Quad Ranks DIMMs per memory channel. You can only put 2 Quad Ranks DIMMs per channel and all 32GB DDR3 ECC Reg are Quad Rank.. thus running into the rank rule issue.

Dell does it again. Yet another high-performing 2U enterprise level server. In our video, we will outline a general overview of the memory specifications and provide tips on how to get the most out of your Dell PowerEdge R710 server.
