Unsupported DIMMs From The System
Hello,
I recently bought a DELL PowerEdge T140 server, which didn't come with RAM. Consequently, I had to buy RAM separately.
The RAM I chose is the KTD-PE426D8/16G, which is a DDR4 2666MT/s ECC Registered DIMM, and should be compatible with my server as per the manual. Despite this, the server won't boot up and displays a critical error indicating that the RAM stick is unsupported.
Critical
Memory Population Error:
Please remove unsupported DIMMs from the system.
Attached are images of the error message and the RAM stick in question.
PS: I made sure to stick the RAM in the appropriate slot.

Eoussama,
I am not seeing that dimm as supported on the T140, the reason being is that the dimm is a Registered Dimm (Rdimm) and the T140 only supports Unbuffered dimms (Udimm). The T140 is limited in memory it supports, as I am only showing about 7 dimms supported, to which only 3 match your requested size. The dimms would be part numbers R1WG8, VDFYD, and XY4YR (the only difference between them is R1WG8 is single rank and the other two are dual rank).
Let me know if this helps.
