Dell PowerEdge T110 & R210 + ECC Registered DDR3, Compatible?

bhogervorst · Feb 19, 2018

Hi Toms Hardware

I've done some research on this topic but I can't confirm or deny anything I've found so far with real information or facts.

I own a Dell PowerEdge T110 and a Dell PowerEdge R210, both currently have regular 4x4GB DDR3 Non-ECC RAM and both have the same Xeon X3430 processor which is ECC compatible. I do not want to lower the server's RAM capacities at all but I need that RAM elsewhere, in some other consumer-grade systems.

ECC Registered memory is dirt cheap on eBay (unlike unregistered ECC), and I can get a 4x4GB DDR3 Registered kit for less than $40. Now I understand completely that Registered ECC is so cheap because so few systems can use it. My question is simple. Can my PowerEdge T110 & R210 systems use ECC Registered memory, being server machines which already support unregistered ECC?

Thanks!
B

Dell PowerEdge T110 and Dell PowerEdge R210 both support only ECC Unbuffered sticks. Registered ECC is not compatible to even operate with only ECC function on these servers

Refer this for compatible RAM listing:

algorithmbreaker :

I was afraid that would be the case. Thanks for letting me know anyways. The links to the website you provided seem quite generic and I don't trust their information but I think you're right in saying that this is a pretty specific product for a specific use and my servers aren't compatible.

Thanks,

memorystock is one of the trusted memory resellers in my experience.

Other alternatives are Crucial, Newegg.

I understand what you're saying about MemoryStock, but the I saw nothing on those pages even mentioning Registered ECC compatibility so I can't trust it for finding the information I need regardless.

Newegg and Crucial are computer part sellers, Newegg is not a company I would go to seeking information on compatibility and neither is Crucial in some situations. I would generally go to the Dell website for support for my Dell servers but in this instance I didn't find what I needed.

That's neither here not there though, what you explained to me does make sense and it answered my question which is what really matters.

Thanks
