Dell EMC PowerEdge R340 Server Review & Overview | Memory Install Tips | How to Configure System RAM

Dell PowerEdge R340 - In this video, we will discuss the compatible RAM and CPU for the R340 server as well as physically install the modules. We will go over some general tips and tricks to help make your install successful. Sit back and enjoy. For starters, the R340 is part of Dell's 14th Generation of servers. It has 1 CPU socket, which is an LGA1151 socket. There are a number of different processor options. What we see as the most prevalent are the Intel Xeon E-2100 and E-2200 series CPUs. You can also utilze Intel Pentium, Celeron or i3 series.

Regarding the memory, the R340 has 4 DIMM slots running on DDR4 architecture. Speeds include 2133 MT/s, 2400 MT/s or 2666 MT/s. Sizes include 4GB 8GB 16GB. Meaning the max configuration for the Dell PowerEdge R340 is 64GB via (4 x 16GB) 2666 MT/s ECC Unbuffered Server Memory. Which brings us to the next important point. You can only use 1 type of memory for the R340: ECC Unbuffered, also known as a Server UDIMM. No you cannot use ECC Registered (RDIMM). No you cannot use Load Reduced (LRDIMM). Only ECC Unbuffered.

As discussed, there are 4 DIMM slots. There are 2 memory channels and each memory channel has 2 DIMMs. Dell has labeled and color coded the channels to make it easy to identify. The start of each change is white. The second DIMM in the channel is black. If you are using 2 DIMMs total, then you should insert them in the 2 white DIMM slots. However, we recommend maxing out with 4 x 16GB, but we also understand not every application needs the most robust memory configuration.
