R810 system board upgrade
Hi guys,
Some years ago I upgraded the BIOS & CPLD of my R810 and installed four Xeon E7-4870.
The R810 is the first revision and does not have the Roman II near the S/T.
Now I would like to install 32Gb RDIMM to go from 512Gb to 1Tb memory.
Is it possible to change only the CPU/RAM system board to a new one with Intel 7510 memory controller?
I think I have a R810 V1 System Board: 0FDG2M and need a V2: 0M9DGR.
Thanks,
Jean-François

Hello jfwalter,
I sorry I missed that part about the memory buffer and that is on the CPU board.
You should be ok to use V2 CPU board: M9DGR

Hello jfwalter,
In early 2011 Dell shipped new servers with Intel's Westmere-EX processors and chipset and are designated with Roman numeral II. The chipset is on the I/O board.
You should get both:
R810 II
V2 I/O board: TT6JF
V2 CPU board: M9DGR
For more reference material, you may already have this link:

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks but in the pdf we have:
"Memory riser (PowerEdge R910 II) marked with the Roman Numeral "II"
or system board (PowerEdge R810/M910 II) with Intel 7510 scalable
memory buffer."
So changing the riser is enough for the R910, it means that the Intel 7510 scalable
memory buffers are on it. I think it the same with the CPU/RAM board of the R810:

Thank you.
I'm not sure to give a try but keep you informed in case of.
