Dell PowerEdge T630 Tower Workstation Overview & Memory Upgrade Tips | How to Install & Configure

Dell PowerEdge T630 - This video will cover the T630, which is an enterprise level 5U tower server. We will focus mainly on memory and CPUs. We will show how to install and properly configure your memory upgrades. The T630 workstation is part of Dell’s 13th Generation and is the next gen to the very popular Dell PowerEdge T620 tower server. There are 24 DIMM slots running on DDR4 memory. This is the first generation of DDR4 based Dell tower workstations. Dell T630’s run on dual Intel E5-2600 V3 or V4 series CPUs which is an LGA2011-3 processor socket.

Let’s dive deeper into the memory. Speed options include 2133MT/s, 2400MT/s and 2666MT/s. Please do note that 2666 speed will clock down to 2400, which is the true fastest speed. DIMM sizes include 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. There are two types of memory for your T630 server: ECC Registered (RDIMM) or Load Reduced (LRDIMM). Both are excellent options. There is a distinct advantage to load reduced memory. With LRDIMMs you have double the memory scalability when compared to RDIMMs. The max configuration for ECC Reg is 768GB via (24 x 32GB) DDR4 PC4-19200T-R 2400MHz ECC Registered Server Memory. The max configuration for LRDIMMs is 1.5TB via (24 x 64GB) DDR4 PC4-19200T-L 2400MHz Load Reduced Server Memory. 64GB DDR4 ECC Reg DIMMs are not supported by the T630 workstation.

This system has 2 processors. Each CPU controls 12 memory slots. There are 4 Memory Channels per processor. This means there are 3 DIMMs per Memory Channel. Conveniently, Dell has labeled and color coded the tabs of each DIMM slot. This will make it much easier to properly load your memory upgrades from Cloud Ninjas. You always want to install the first DIMM at the start of the first memory channel. Each memory channel starts with white followed by black and then green. The proper configuration for 2 CPUs would be 8, 16 or 24 DIMMs to maintain a proper load balance across the memory channels. In this video, we will discuss in more depth how to actually load the DIMMs inside your PowerEdge T630 server.
