Upgrade memory Dell R710

Hello

For r710 Server I bought a kit of memory: 2 pieces of 8 GB.

The current Ram configuration is 4 modules of 2 GB each.

the server is dual CPU, so the memory are in A1, A2 and B1 B2.

could you please help how to organize to DIMM, so it can walk with each of them.

Separately, it works but not together, and I tried different configurations.

Thank you

When mix you them, the server turns on and cross the message "Memory Configuration"? If the system is able to bypass any configuration problem he would then invite accurately (such as available memory can be reduced, cannot put X in X slots etc.).

Make sure that your BIOS is up to date (6.4.0) for memory support more up-to-date. If you need to update the update of the BIOS of the controller of life cycle and thus if necessary iDRAC. The standard Dell support answer is that these three elements must be on the current versions.

If it works with the 2x8Gb and 4x2Gb separately, make sure that you try not not mix registered and ECC Registered memory. If the server does not initialize correctly it is likely. Google search to check part numbers.

Check whether the mode of BIOS memory is Optimizer

Put the two 8 GB in A1/B1

Put four 2 Gb in A2/A3 B2/B3

Let us know how it goes!

Note: This answer is based on my own experience of the R710 and I'm not a member of Dell support, just an end user. Best responses of others may follow.

  • Upgrade memory Dell Dimension 9150

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade memory RAM on my Dell Dimension 9150 Dual Core (DXP051) clocked at 2.8 GHZ with 1 GB of ram. Motherboard is Dell 0YC523. IGB memory currently.

    Watching the RAM is OCZ Enhanced latency Platinum XTC Edition revision 2 with speed 800 Mhz - CL4 (4-4-4-15) latency. 2 GB

    OCZ recommendation is to increase the volatge of ram to 2.1V on the BIOS but I don't think that this is possible on the Dell motherboard.

    Previousposts research, someone also asked a similar question but for an XPS 720 PC.

    The solution suggested something about SLI or EPP ready... I'm not sure what it means. This means that the RAM must be SLI or EPP ready to be compatible with the motherboard of Dimension I or the mothersboard must be ready for use of these modules of memory SLIp/PPE? Can I use this module and if so, how do I change the voltage or the motherboard will adjust it automatically?

    If not, can I get some other RAM?

    Thanks in advance.


  • Upgrade memory Dell R410

    Hello world!

    I have Dell R410 2xE5506 6x2Go Hynix DDR3-1066 PC3-8500th non - Reg ECC RAM 2Rx8

    Now I need 32 GB of memory. I want to take out the 2 GB memory and put 4x8Go (for example this one).

    Issue.

    This memory will work in my server? Confused, low voltage and the manual is written as follows:

    Intel Xeon 5600 series also support s Low Voltage DIMM and parsimonious feature (Manual)

    voitsykh
    is ok - I have processor e5500 series? It will work with memory low voltage?

    Yes, it will work. LV memory is able to operate at 1.35 or 1.5 volts. Since the 5500 series does not support LV memory DIMMs will operate at 1.5V.

    Thank you

  • Upgrade memory Dell PowerEdge T610?

    Hi, I have a T610 with 8 GB (4 x 2G 2Rx8 PC3-8500R). I would put more than 8 GB, (4 x PC3-10600R 2 G 2Rx8). Works? What is the best setting?

    [of]

    Hello.

    How many processors you have installed?  There are several guidelines of population of memory including memory on all channels balanced for optimal performance.

    For a single processor, you will only be able to use six modules because of this limitation, where:

    A1, A4, A2A5, A3A6: 2GB with capacity of 12 GB total memory

    For the two processors:

    A1A4, A2A5 & B1B4, B2B5: 2GB gives the ability of memory of 16 GB. I advise to use strips of memory ability higher such as 4 GB, 8 GB, or even 16 GB because they offer memory expansion more and robust.

  • The Dell R710 server upgrade to R2 2012 Windows

    Question for the forum:

    I have a Dell R710 server.  There a PERC 6 / i RAID card in there.  There are discs 5 x 2 TB on the PERC 6 / I configured in RAID-5 right now with the 6th disc as a 480 GB SSD.   I currently own WINDOWS 2012 R2 installed.   Windows 2012 sees the TB 5 x 2 as a 7.27 TB HDD and the 480 GB SSD as a second hard drive.

    I heard the Windows 2012 R2 storage solution is best.  I want to convert the TB 5 x 2 hard drives just so R2 2012 Windows can control it.  I have the following questions:

    1. What do I have to go in PERC 6 / I controller and remove the RAID 5 and create a virtual disk for each 2 TB as a RAID-0 disk drive so that Windows can see each as separate hard drive?

    2. each of the 2 TB is a SATA II drive.  PERC 6 / I can only support up to 2 TB to 3 Gbps.  What is the best way to do it?  Can I upgrade to SATA III drives or 6 Gbps?  This server which will support at all?  I have

    3. If I install a SATA III controller in the PCIe slot, how can I plug SATA III drives to the card.  All drives are connected to the server to forward now.

    4 If a disk fails, Dell R710 will still flash light orange on the forehead to show what defective hard drives?  People still hot to swap the drive?

    5. Windows 2012 R2 will be able to tell what defective hard drives?  With 5 x 2 to for the storage and 480 GB put in place in the SSD for tiered storage, which is the best way to configure it for performance?  Simple volume or mirror?  How many drives can fail until Windows cannot recover from the failure?

    Please advise on the best way to convert more software raid WINDOWS 2012 R2.  Thanks for the help in advance!

    1. This is the only way to make available to Windows as separate disks, as the PERC 6 does not support the RAID/JBOD.

    2. the PERC 6 supports a maximum drive size of 2 TB. The material is limited to 3 Gbps. You can use 6 GB/s drives, but they will operate as discs 3 Gbps.

    3. you will need to connect a cable from the backplane to the new controller, instead of the 6 PERC. Backplane may not support 6 GB/s speed, if you plug a controller 6Gbps 6Gbps drives and they bind upward to 3 Gbps, that is why.

    4. Yes.

    5. Yes. How can fail depends on how you have set it up and how much data is there.

    Thank you.

    anhhuyla @.

    Anhhuyla,

    The R710 will support not using the iDrac 7, as is logical is incorporated into the Gen 12 systems themselves. To improve the iDrac6 at the enterprise level, you must add the Works Council (part number K869T or J675T) seen below.

    This will allow the use of the console remotely.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Reference Dell R710 - Configuration of memory

    Hi all

    I'm sure I'm missing something, but I read the two technical papers about memory configuration in the Dell R710.

    I have a server that currently has 48GB stated as follows

    A1 - 4 GB

    A4 - 4 GB

    A2 - 4 GB

    A5 - 4 GB

    A3 - 4 GB

    A6 - 4 GB

    (It then returned on the b-side)

    According to the BIOS it's set to "optimized."

    Now I have sticks of 2x16GB I wanted to install, the only way that I could operate without the whine of BIOS was to install as follows:

    A2 - 16 GB

    A5 - 4 GB

    A8 - 4 GB

    (Duplicated on b-side)

    Giving 72 GB.

    As I read the manual, I should be able to mix the sizes of memory for "optimized" as long I have spend from A1 to A9 and so I have an another 6x4Go sticks left, I want to install.

    My logic is that I can fill with A1 to A9, mixing the 16 GB, however when I try I get the error on the A1/A2/A3 needing to be the same?

    Am I missing something simple? I am unable to make changes in the BIOS, the memory is all of the same type (bought from Dell)

    Rob_991,

    The question that you are running in is due to the R710 need 3 memory channels to match.  Each game nine media is organized in three channels with three supports memory per channel. As shown below, each processor has 3 channels of memory, allowing only a single channel to the need to match, or filled.  So, with only having a couple of 16 GB DIMMs, you are only able to fill a channel on each side. What I would say is the addition of a couple more 16 GB DIMMS fill A1, A2, B1, B2 with them, and then place the 4 GB in A4, A5, A7, A8, as well as B4, B5, B7 and B8. This gives you two channels on each side, as well as 96 GB of memory.

    Let me know if this helps answer your question.

  • Sizes of mixed memory in Dell R710 to reach speeds of 1333 mhz and 800 mhz

    We have some Dell R710 which was originally ordered with 48 GB in a configuration of 1333 mhz 12x4Go (RDIMMS). We ordered 6 sticks of memory of 4 GB 1333 mhz additional to complete all 18 banks for a total of 72 GB.  The speed of the memory, then decreased to running at 800 mhz.  We had immediately complaints on the performance in some of our mission critical VM (terminal Server and SQL DBs servers), so we have VMotion their due on a R710 still on the original 12x4Go config clocked at 1333 mhz and complaints went.  I spoke with pre-sales both Dell and after-sales technical support and they confirm that filling all 18 banks decreases speed to 800 mhz, but I get conflicting reports which must be running 12 banks (which is configured as 2 of the 3 banks available in each 6 channels) at 1 066 mhz now which is not. Still, both say that my best option is to return the modules to 4 GB bought recently and also pull the original 12x4Go modules and replace them all by 12x8Go 96GB and should operate at 1333 mhz.  It is really more memory I need and almost three times that I have already budgeted and spent on extra 4 GB of purchase sticks.

    The other option, you said I could do, as well as that of my question is to mix 6x4Go and 6X8Go, up to 72 GB.  I see also that is a configuration of memory available on the Dell Web site during the construction a R710, and he said 1333 mhz as well.  Technical support before and after had these things to say, and it makes me a little nervous because this isn't an absolute 'you'll be fine:

    prior support guy:

    "Everything I read or say confirms that it is perfectly fine to mix the modules in sizes too long as modules within each channel are the same size." I think it can be recommended by most to ensure the consistency of the size but as I said before that we have in our new server system configurations to be cited with mixed sizes what makes me even more confident that is you went this route you would be fine and little or no experience in performance decline. »

    support after guy:

    "Regarding your new question on the use of 6 DIMM 4 GB mixed with 8 GB for a total of 72 GB, which is not an optimum configuration, but I don't think you should really meet a lot of problems with it."  I mentioned before that if you mix speeds, it will downclock fastest at the speed of slow DIMM DIMMS, so certainly would advise against mixing speeds. Regarding the size, the only thing you might encounter as it is booting, you can hear this isn't an optimal configuration, but it should detect any memory and be able to make use of this.  Don't think there is really a performance reached unless you're missing speeds.  «Also, don't forget to reflect your configuration across all channels, if you do not want all of the 4 GB and 8 GB in the same configuration such that put all 8 GB in slots 1/2/3, then put the 4 GB DIMMs in 4/5/6 on both machines slot A and B.»

    So the real question is - if it is not a "optimal" configuration, which makes it means the actual performance of my vSphere servers?  All done and they have problems?

    Thank you

    Ben

    How about using 8x8GB sticks for each host? You'd get to 64 GB each... I'd like to see if Dell will allow you to trade in the memory, you do not have to purchase new memory inside the host... Or look for another provider of memory which will provide you with the correct memory at a better price.

  • R710 upgrade memory

    We have the upgrade memory of the r710, what configuration of the slot machine is the best?

    4x16gb kingstonn ktd-pe313lv / 16 gb

    A1 - A2, B1 - B2?

    This mode, the server tell who 'ECC mode.

    Tiagoheineck,

    To clarify, you see the server say that ECC is now disabled? Seeing that is probably due to the way memory is set to ECC, but with a memory this barrette in A1, it will disable this mode memory.  To fill the server in Adv ECC mode would need the DIMM in the slot, A2, A3 and B2, and B3.

    If you set the Server Mode Memory Optimizer then DIMMs would indeed go to A1, A2, B2, and B3.

    To check the mode server is set to access just the BIOS (F2 at startup), then under the memory settings, check what is the Mode of operation classified memory.

    Finally, although the R710 supports 16 GB DIMMs, there are some processors that may not be compatible with the help of the 16 GB DIMMS. Let me know which processor is installed and I can let you know compatibility.

    Let me know.

  • Reference Dell R710, Dell and VMware VAAI MD3200

    Hi guys, we have 3 x Dell R710 hosts running VMware ESXi hypervisor v5.1. Our SAN is via Dell MD3200 Direct attached storage. We have activated the option of High Performance. My question is about VMware VAAI. In particular, the recommendation of VMware: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1033665 it says: "For more information on support VAAI in a particular storage group or required firmware levels, contact the storage array provider." So I'm wondering: is VAAI supported (or not) with the MD3200... and otherwise: should I be deactivation of VAAI settings as recommended by VMware? What are the potential implications for the performance of deactivation of VAAI... or support DO NOT turn it off? Thank you, Steve

    Indeed, you are using a fairly old firmware. The most recent is 07.84.53.60.

    To be able to upgrade to this version, you will need a version quite familiar of the MDSM. I would say to download 4.1.2.29 or later, which is 5.0.0.70. All servers Windows and Linux (not VMware or XenServer) server that manage and/or are connected via iSCSI SAN should have their MDSM, updated software before upgrade you the firmware on the raid on the SAN controller.

    Thank you intabli

    Hi intabli

    Yes, spot on!

    According to your current memory population, I think that it is running on the optimizer Mode. Therefore, you should fill in: -.

    A1 B1

    A4 B4

    A2 B2

    A5 B5

  • Upgrade memory on an all in a single LX830

    I may upgrade the 4 GB provided to meet the requirements of the program. Additional memory needs to be installed in pairs? The existing 4 GB occupies a dwelling, can I mount 8 GB in another location or it will be incompatible?

    Well, mainly upgrade memory depends on the support of the chipset/CPU.

    Not quite sure what computer Toshiba LX830 do you have exactly but as far as I know the L830 all in one units would support up to 16 GB of RAM.

    A property used by a 4 GB RAM module and housing is free.
    This is why it must be able to use another additional module of 8 GB RAM.

    But of course, another module of 8 GB RAM should be compatible with the current 4 GB of RAM.
    Otherwise, you will get some compatibility issues
