Ram memory configuration for Dell R610

Hello!

 

I have a Dell R610 and I want to do a memory upgrade. Here is the server and memory available: https://photos.app.goo.gl/wfM2qb6BLeaUGG9w5

I currently have 4 x 4GB 2Rx4 PC3-10600R-9-10-E1 Hynix ram modules installed.

I have 6 ram sticks of 2 gb each from Micron: 1RX8 PC3L-10600E-9-11-D1 Memory RAM DDR3 UDIMM and 6 ram sticks of 2 gb each from Hynix: 1RX8 PC3-10600E-9-10-D0 Memory RAM DDR3 UDIMM.

Can I use those ram sticks to fill the available slots? If so, can you please tell me how I should plug the ram sticks in order for the system to work ok ? I cannot figure it out from the Manual.

Thank you so much!

Hello

No, you cannot mix Registerd/Buffered and Unregistered/Unbuffered memory. The memory you are currently using is registered. The R in 10600R stands for registered.

No, both lanes should have identical populations. You can read more on memory population guidelines and rules in the manual on the system support page.

Sorry, but what do you mean by "both lanes have identical population" ? Can you please give me an example of mixed memory sizes using all slots ? Thank you!

The memory controller is on the CPU. CPU1 memory controller manages memory in the A lane. CPU2 manages the B lane. The A and B lanes should have identical configurations.
