T410 CPU Support

Hello

Of those three, the X5660 is the only one in the T410 part list. It is part number K39F0, service kit 26X2X.

Yes, dual or lower rank modules can operate at 1333 when all four memory slots are populated. Internal documentation was updated to reflect this, the manual still states that memory will be limited to 1067 if there is more than one module in a channel. Channel 0, slots 1 and 4, is the only channel with two slots, so under the old rules if slots 1 and 4 both had modules the maximum speed would be 1067. Internal documentation states that is no longer a limitation. Quad rank modules will still be limited to 1067 in any population and 800 if there are more than one per channel.

Thanks

I read that if the processor of the 5600 series is below 130W then it is supported by the motherboard. X5675 is 95w. And many seller sell servers in this cpu. For example

can you comment? or you only respond according to the official manual for more than 7 years.

Hi, let me jump in and share my experience. I have a powerEdge T410 and I order the two x 5675 except that they did not have the same serial number and they will work alone but not together. Both will work on CPU1.  I used Samsung 1x 16GB DDR3-1333 RDIMM PC3L-10600R Dual Rank x4 Module the most memory I can use at one time in CPU1 was 48gb using A1,A2, A4. If I use all the slots A3 get disable. I tried using both CPU 1 and 2, and no matter what type of memory config I used it never boot up. Oh, using A1, A2 and A4 Optimize mode is enable automatically and the only way to change it is to use A1, A2, and A3 except that A3 gets disable and allows you to select, mirror, advance ECC, Sparing, and Optimized MODEs in the Bios. I used the 4gb sticks and the same problem happens so I don’t think it is the size of the memory.

Right now I am using the X5660 with the same serial numbers and still it will only work on CPU1. I can not get it to work using both CPUS. I have read hundred of dell forums like yours and most of them say the same. The max size of memory is 8gb sticks across all the slots for a total of 64 GB or ram using all 8 slots. regardless of what the stupid tech manual says. My bios is up to date. 1.14.0

Is this does not work the best solution is X5675, 6 cores. 3.07 GHz of speed on CPU1 with 3 sticks of 16gb of memory A1,A2,A4. For a total memory of 48GB.

If you already fix yours please respond and let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

Mine is also now BIS v1.14.0, with dual cpus, and 8 sticks of 16gb ram. Maths says that should be 128gb total ram - and the on board inventory tool confirms they are all there and active without faults.

However, on boot, BIOS reports MEMBIST error on one of them and disables slot b3. Swapping all the sticks around, swapping the cpus for any of the 6 that I've got, all cause the same error.

One suggestion is that the cpu or memory socket has a damaged pin but having used electrical contact cleaner, it still causes a fault.

Even so, the machine does continue to boot with 1 of the 16gb sticks disabled giving a total available ram of 112gb!
