PowerEdge T110ii Memory upgrade, disaster.

Hello,

I need some assistance, I recently made a purchase of some memory to upgrade my PowerEdge T110II. Unfortunately, the person I bought my new memory from didn't add the correct details on the item listing and I had neglected to check the internet to make sure that I was making the right choice.

When I received the modules, I installed them and powered up my server and found that the diagnostic lights were being highlighted. It went to a 1-3 and to a static 1. I read the manual and found that the static 1 light was to indicate that no memory was being detected. 

The 3x modules are 8GB 1gx72 DDR PC3 10600 - I've had a quick read and found that these were registered modules which is a bummer due to my PowerEdge T110II only supporting Unbuffered Memory Modules.

I have no problems upgrading the server if needs be (within reason) I was originally planning to upgrade over the next few months.

Now I've read that if I upgraded the CPU to an Xeon then this would probably overcome my issue...now before I do something drastic like buying a new processor, I just wanted to confirm with this community that this is correct?

My current CPU is a Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G620 @ 2.60GHz.

If any information is required, please ask and I will gladly assist.
Thank you for your assistance. :emotion-1:

Kindest Regards,
