Ram Upgrade Poweredge T300 Failure
Hi,
I have some probs to upgrade my poweredge t300, in fact he doesn't want start with 2x4Go ram stick, just a black screen and sound like he boot but without screen, whereas with his two stick of 2Go he will boot fine and work properly.
With 3 stick or more i have a error message ram config, but apparently its the processor, he cant handle triple channel or more.
Bios is up to date and i have try clear CMOS and just one stick
Here the stiks spec page : link
Maybe i have forgot something ? Or i just have buy two bad stick ? u_u.
Ty for ur answer and if somebody have a link to buy good ram with delivery in France its will be great.
Have a nice day

Hello
The system does not have 3 memory channels. It has two channels. The DIMMs should be installed in matched pairs. 3 DIMMs is not a valid configuration.
The manufacturer part number listed on that link is validated to work in the T300.
The t300 is a 10th generation server. 10g was the last generation of servers we sold that had memory controllers on the system board. All later servers have the memory controller on the CPU. Registered DIMMs are not supported on most non-Xeon CPUs in newer servers, but I show no mention of this limitation on the T300. According to the documentation the T300 supports RDIMMs regardless of CPU.
If you are running a consumer CPU like the Celeron and your old DIMMs were not RDIMMs then it could be that the CPU does not support RDIMMs. If you are running a Xeon or your old memory was RDIMM then that is not the issue.
Those are valid DIMMs that should work, the CPU issue is the only thing I can think of aside from the DIMMs being faulty.
Thanks

thanks for ur fast answer,
i have a xeon 3300 series and he work with 2x2go reg actually, run fine, but when i try to add the 2x4go stick i have an error on ldc panel say "2011 memory conf error", normally then u add ram he just work no ?
When i put only 2x4go stick i havent memory error but just a black screen and he sound like started but no screen, no bios, nothing.
