Dell PowerEdge T620 Tower Workstation Overview & Memory Upgrade Tips | How to Install & Configure

Dell PowerEdge T620 Memory "How To Guide" for RAM installation and configuration. In our video, we will review best practices for loading memory modules inside your Dell T620 tower server and provide a general overview of all the different options such as speeds, sizes and memory types accepted.

The PowerEdge T620 is part of the Dell 12th Generation family of workstations. This tower can be used like a desktop or as a 5U rackmount server operates. Dell’s T620 runs on dual Intel E5-2600 V1 or V2 series processors, which is an LGA2011 CPU socket. The T620 server is the next gen to the popular Dell PowerEdge T610 workstation. There are 24 DIMM slots powered by DDR3 memory modules. Speed options: 1066MHz, 1333MHz, 1600MHz or 1866MHz. Note 1866 will clock down to 1600 speed. Size options: 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB 32GB and all the way up to 64GB!

You can install two types of memory for your Dell T620: ECC Registered also known as RDIMM or Load Reduced also known as LRDIMM. This is very important. If you are just starting with your T620 and you believe you will want to scale up in the future, then LRDIMMs will be the best option for scalability as we will discuss more below. The big difference between ECC Registered and Load Reduced is the maximum configuration for the Dell T620. ECC Reg will only max out at 512GB via (16 x 32GB) DDR3 PC3-12800R 1600MHz Server Memory. Whereas, LRDIMMs will provide triple the capacity. You heard that right. Triple capacity! You can max your T620 with 1.5TB via (24 x 64GB) DDR3 PC3-12800L 1600MHz Load Reduced Server Memory. Now this is very puzzling. People often ask… Why can we use 24 x 64GB with LRDIMM and we can only use 16 x 32GB with RDIMM? Great question. This is known as the Rank Rule and we will solve this mystery in depth in our video. Another common question. Were 64GB DDR3 ECC Registered memory modules invented? Unfortunately, they do not exist. Only LRDIMMs support 64GB DDR3 DIMMs.

This system is a dual CPU socket 1U tower workstation server. Each CPU manages three Memory Channels. Each memory channel controls three DIMM slots. Note: This is very important. All 32GB DDR3 DIMMs are Quad Rank and this is the main reason the Rank Rule becomes an issue for the Dell PowerEdge T620 server. Dell has labeled & color coded the memory channels. White is the first DIMM slot in every channel. Followed by black and then green. The proper configuration for dual CPUs is in duplicates of eight, which will evenly spread the load across each channel. We will discuss this in more depth in our video and also show you how to install the DIMMs inside your Dell PowerEdge T620 server.
