Dell PowerEdge FC430 Owner's Manual

System memory

Your system supports DDR4 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs and LRDIMMs), and DDR4 voltage specifications.

NOTE: MT/s indicates DIMM speed in MegaTransfers per second.

Memory bus operating frequency can be 2400 MT/s, 2133 MT/s, or 1866 MT/s depending on:

  • System profile selected (for example, Performance Optimized, Custom, or Dense Configuration Optimized)
  • Maximum supported DIMM frequency of the processors

The system contains eight memory sockets split into two sets of four sockets, one set per processor. DIMMs in sockets A1 to A4 are assigned to processor 1 and DIMMs in sockets B1 to B4 are assigned to processor 2. The system supports one DIMM per channel. In each four socket set, the release levers of the first-to-populate socket are marked white and those of the second socket are marked black. The DIMM sockets A3, A4, B3, and B4 need to have the memory module inserted 180° reverse with regard to the DIMMS in the A1, A2, and B1, B2 sockets.

The following table shows the memory populations and operating frequencies for the supported configurations.
