Dell PowerEdge M630 Blade Server Review & Overview | Memory Install Tips | How to Configure DDR4 RAM

The Dell PowerEdge M630 is an enterprise level blade server that goes into the M1000e chassis. In our video, we will provide an overview specifically focused on the memory and processors. We will review how to install and configure memory inside your M630 server. We will provide a few general tips and tricks to make your installation process as smooth as possible. Sit back, relax and enjoy the Dell M630 memory tutorial video.

Easy place to start is the beginning. The Dell M630 blade server is part of Dell's 13th Generation and is the next gen to the Dell PowerEdge M620 blade server. Dell M630’s operate with dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 V3 or V4 series processors. This is an LGA2011-3 CPU socket. We recommend the E5-2620v3 for lower end applications and E5-2680v4 or E5-2690v4 for higher end applications. There are 24 DIMM slots. The M630 runs on DDR4 memory. The 13th Gen is the first generation of DDR4 servers from Dell.

With the M630, you can utilize 2133 MT/s, 24000 MT/s or 2666MT/s. Do note, 2666 will clock down to 2400 so technically 2400 is the fastest speed. Size options include 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB or 64GB. There are two types of memory you can utilize with your Dell PowerEdge M630 blade server: ECC Registered (RDIMM) or Load Reduced (LRDIMM). We recommend RDIMMs for lower sizes such as 4GB 8GB or 16GB. However we recommend LRDIMMs for higher DIMM sizes such as 32GB or 64GB. With LRDIMMs you can reach double the overall memory capacity compared to RDIMMs. RDIMMs - The max memory configuration is 768GB via (24 x 32GB) DDR4 PC4-19200T-R 2400MHz ECC Registered Server Memory. LRDIMMs - The max configuration is 1.5TB via (24 x 64GB) DDR4 PC4-19200T-L 2400MHz Load Reduced Server Memory.

There are two intel processors. Each CPU runs 12 memory slots. There are 4 Memory Channels per CPU. There are 3 DIMM slots per Memory Channel. The memory channels are extremely important. If you are not loading 24 DIMMs, then you want to make sure you split your DIMMs evenly across the various memory channels. This is very easy to identify. Dell has labeled and color coded to help you easily load your memory upgrades. You always want to start your install at the beginning of the memory channel. White is the first DIMM slot in each memory channel followed by black second and then green third. The proper memory configuration would be in sets of 4 such as 4, 8, 16 or 24 DIMMs to maintain an load balance/distribution across the M630 memory channels. In our video, we will discuss the channels in more depth and we will actually load and upgrade our M630 server.

The highly versatile Dell PowerEdge M630 is an upgrade to its predecessor, the Dell M620, and will work for a wide variety of applications such as hosting and virtualization.
