Anyone with a Dell T110 II Poweredge Server?

mishy

I just bought this server to use for my IT studies and I am very keen to upgrade to 32Gig Ram but I am unable to find any cheap alternative memory for it. You google on some websites and they tell you what is compatible and then you go on some websites and they say it does work so I am sure what I can use.

If you have one can you tell me which 8Gig memory sticks are you using? I have found these on some forums to be compatible - KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G or KVR1333D3D4R9S/G.

I sold mine, but according to my order history where I ordered the 8GM udimms I had KVR1333D3N9-8G - but don't quote me on that as it has been a while.

For the part numbers you posted
KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G - that is not an 8GB dimm tho - its a 2x4GB set
KVR1333D3D4R9S/G - that is as far as I know a 1GB dimm

System Memory Modes

The IMC supports two memory organization modes, single-channel and dual-channel. Depending upon how the DIMM Modules are populated in each memory channel, a number of different configurations can exist. Single-Channel Mode

In this mode, all memory cycles are directed to a single-channel. Single-channel mode is used when either Channel A or Channel B DIMM connectors are populated but not both. Dual-Channel Mode - Intel® Flex Memory Technology Mode

The IMC supports Intel Flex Memory Technology mode. This mode combines the advantages of the Dual-Channel Symmetric (Interleaved) and Dual-Channel Asymmetric Modes. Memory is divided into a symmetric and an asymmetric zone. The symmetric zone starts at the lowest address in each channel and is contiguous until the asymmetric zone begins or until the top address of the channel with the smaller capacity is reached. In this mode, the system runs with one zone of dual-channel mode and one zone of single-channel mode, simultaneously, across the whole memory array.
Dual-Channel Symmetric Mode

Dual-Channel Symmetric mode, also known as interleaved mode, provides maximum performance on real world applications. Addresses are ping-ponged between the channels after each cache line (64-byte boundary). If there are two requests, and the second request is to an address on the opposite channel from the first, that request can be sent before data from the first request has returned. If two consecutive cache lines are requested, both may be retrieved simultaneously, since they are ensured to be on opposite channels. Use Dual-Channel Symmetric mode when both Channel A and Channel B DIMM connectors are populated in any order, with the total amount of memory in each channel being the same.
When both channels are populated with the same memory capacity and the boundary between the dual channel zone and the single channel zone is the top of memory, IMC operates completely in Dual-Channel Symmetric mode.
Dual-Channel Asymmetric Mode

This mode trades performance for system design flexibility. Unlike the previous mode, addresses start at the bottom of Channel A and stay there until the end of the highest rank in Channel A, and then addresses continue from the bottom of Channel B to the top. Real world applications are unlikely to make requests that alternate between addresses that sit on opposite channels with this memory organization, so in most cases, bandwidth is limited to a single channel.
This mode is used when Intel Flex Memory Technology is disabled and both Channel A and Channel B DIMM connectors are populated in any order with the total amount of memory in each channel being different.

I have taken a chance and ordered the above memory going by the fact that you checked by the order history, I have gambled because it is only £30 which is a lot more cheaper than the original dell ones and also I am not 100% sure about the other ones I was looking at. Thanks for the quick response.

Thanks Krunchi for a more detailed description for the memory for the server I am sure it will come in handy once I need to add more memory because I have just bought 1 stick to try out first so I will be sure to know where which slots will be compatible.

Heh - I got Microserver too - may have been for those

Good luck - careful when opening the package so you can return then if they don't work ...

I had an HP Microserver before and it only takes the 4GB sticks but I have heard of people putting the 8GB sticks too so I will let you know how get on. Should try it out on Sunday if I get it delivered tomorrow.

jibbajabba

I got 5 Microserver and all of them running 16GB of RAM

Not supported - but it certainly works.

ServersPlus even sells them with 16GB and gives a year warranty (also has the product code in the description - different to the one I have given you though)

Just have to keep my fingers crossed and hope it works otherwise there goes £30 down the drain but any ways that is what happen when you gamble either you win or lose but life surely rewards those that take their chances because if they do work I will have saved almost £200 to get it to 32GB.
