PowerEdge T310 memory upgrade problems
Hi
Today I tried to upgrade the RAM of a T310 server (one X3440 processor) using 4x8Gb memory modules
The mainboard has 6 slots in a row. (The 1st and the 4th slot have white clips).
So, I've installed 2 dimms on the 1st and 2nd slot, and the other 2 ones on the 4th and 5th slot (starting from the top)
When i boot up the server, the lcd on the front, shows the following message "Temp: unavailable" (I think there's more on that message but it stucks there), the fan works on 100% and nothing happens. No screen, no "beeps", no leds on keyboard or mouse, nothing.
I've upgrade BIOS to 1.11.0 but the problem stil remains.
Can you please help me?
Thank you in advance

I need to upgrade my T310 witch X3430 to 32GB of RAM, As I read it would be DDR3 8x RDIMM.
Does anyone knows what the DELL partnumber for this module is?

Hello Daniel,
I need to upgrade my T310 to 16gbs in order to fully utilize Dentrix patient management system for a dental office. I am not a techie so I just an honest opinion. I was told that it can't and max is 8gbs which means I have to buy a T330 and spend almost $4K for server with the software. Is it true that it can't be upgraded? If it can be upgrade, what would be part numbers of rams that I can purchased to do this? Would really appreciate your help on this.

Hi folks,
I have DDR3L RDIMMS, 8GB, 1333MHz. [Samsung 1x 8GB DDR3-1333 RDIMM PC3L-10600R Dual Rank x4 Module]
but the system locks up when I install. I've checked the manual and all seems good, no mixing, slots 1-4 etc.
Am I missing something obvious here? My server was purchased in 2010, may it just didn't support DDR 8gb THEN?
Cheers,
Denis

Hello @Denis.Donovan,
What model of memory are you using? Is it an Enterprise module? Can you please post some pictures of both sides of the module?
The PowerEdge T310 supports 8GB models, but you need to use enterprise memory modules.
Regards.

Thanks for replying Diego, I really appreciate it. It looks like I have dead ducks here?
I don't remember anything in the manual about 'Enterprise Memory Modules'. I'm not saying it's not there, I just didn't see it?

Hello again @Denis.Donovan,
But of course! There are several kind of memories oriented to different hardware configurations. Like gaming memories, enterprise memories, consumer memories. Not all products are intended for all systems and market segments. And some vendors do not manufacture memories for Enterprise systems.
Registered, DDR3 1333 1GB DIMM, Single Rank (post-RTS)
Registered, DDR3 1066 2GB DIMM, Dual Rank
Registered, DDR3 1333 2GB DIMM, Dual Rank
Registered, DDR3 1066 4GB DIMM, Quad Rank
Registered, DDR3 1333 4GB DIMM, Quad Rank
Registered, DDR3 1066 8GB DIMM, Quad Rank

It does indeed,
I'm assuming it does not matter how old the T310 is, this one was bought in 2010.
