Dell Poweredge R810 - SYSTEM HALTED WITH 128000 DIMM
Hi Team,
I have Dell Poweredge R810 server with Two CPU'S ( E7540). When i had purchased it before four years ago, it came along with 128 GB RAM (8GB*16) and specification as below-
Hynix - 8Gb 2R*4 PC3 - 10600R HMT31GR7AFR4C-H9 D7 AB
16 DIMM slots are being used as there are dummy ram are fitted into rest of 16 slots because there are only 2 CPU's present and It was working fine with above specified DIMM.
Now i need to upgrade my server to 256 GB RAM with all exiting configuration hence i have purchased 16GB *16 DIMM but when i tried with this, i was getting error message like "MEMORY IS NOT DETECTED "" SYSTEM HALTED"
New Ram specification -
16GB 2R*4 PC3 - 12800R -11-11-E2-P2
PART NUMBER - 672309-581
Could you please anyone help me here to fix this issue with proper RAM specification?
Whether this new RAM’s are not compatible with processor or with motherboard, if not then what would be solution for this? Please provide me details of compatible DIMM with part numbers.
Your help would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Rahul

Hello Trish,
Service Tag : (removed by moderator)
Your understanding is correct. I want to upgrade it with memory 256 GB. As i have already mentioned that, i purchased 16GB *16 DIMM's and it is not working in R810 server.
kindly check and let me know how to fix this issue.

Hey Trish,
Thanks for your quick response !!
Assuming that R810 with CPU's E7540 does not support 16 GB DIMM's as there is restriction at processor level but R810 will support 16 GB DIMM's when we will use processor which would be support to 16 GB RAM modules.
1. Could you please tell me processors list which will supports in R810 with 16 GB DIMM's?
2. As i have two E7540 CPU's in place which supports only 8 GB RAM modules , so can we put two different CPU's along with existing one like X5550 or something like that.
3. Does any Memory frequency restriction there while purchasing new DIMM's for R810, i heard that R810 does not supports 12800R Ram modules, is it true ? infact i had purchased SAMSUNG 16 GB * 16 sticks with 12800R which is not being used anywhere.
4. I believe, there is no any restriction of using 16 GB DIMM's with 12800R at mother board level in R810, its an CPU's issue.

Hi Trish,
Thank you so much for answering all my questions in detail.
Almost all question got answered but still want to know below things for knowledge purpose.
1. I'm planning to purchase 2x E7-8867L CPU's for R810 then only i can upgrade it with 256 GB RAM. But still i need to replace RAM(12800R) sticks which i am currently holding as you said, it will not be supported in R810 even though CPU been changed to non Nehalem.
2. until i changed current CPU's, i can't upgrade H/W to 256 GB RAM with 16 DIMM's slot and 2 CPU's , as currently i have 2xE7540 CPU's and those are not supported 16 GB DIMM's whether its 8500R or 12800R so could not upgrade it more than 128 GB RAM right?
3. 12800R is supporting to R710 with X5550 CPU's, Isn't it strange? However, its older version compare to R810.
Regards,
Rahul
