Dell PowerEdge T30 Owner's Manual

Sample memory configurations

The following table shows sample memory configurations for a single processor configuration that follow the appropriate memory guidelines stated in this section.

CAUTION: Dell recommends you to use ECC DIMMs to minimize the risk of uncorrectable system error, data loss and/or silent data corruption. Non-ECC DIMM is not used for mission-critical applications.

NOTE: 16 GB quad-rank RDIMMs are not supported.

NOTE: 1R and 2R in the following tables indicate single-rank and dual-rank DIMMs respectively.

NOTE: Non-ECC DIMMs are supported only in selected countries, for more information contact your sales representative.

NOTE: When the 2666 MHz ECC, and 2400 MHz non-ECC modules are used in the system, the system memory speed drops to 2133 MHz. This is a BIOS restriction.

Table 1. Memory configurations1. In a single memory processor with a populated capacity of 4 GB, install the 4 GB memory modules in slot A1. 2. In a single memory processor with a populated capacity of 8 GB, install the 4 GB memory modules in slots 1 and 2. 3. In a single memory processor with a populated capacity of 16 GB, install the 4 GB memory modules in slots 1, 2, 3, and 4. In a single memory processor with a populated capacity of 16 GB, install the 8 GB memory modules in slots 1 and 2. 5. In a single memory processor with a populated capacity of 32 GB, install the 8 GB memory modules in slots 1, 2, 3, and 4. In a single memory processor with a populated capacity of 32 GB, install the 16 GB memory modules in slots 1 and 2. 6. In a single memory processor with a populated capacity of 64 GB, install the 16 GB memory modules in slots 1, 2, 3, and 4.
