Dell PowerEdge C2100 Server – In this video, we will provide a helpful "Memory How To Upgrade Guide" as well as review CPUs options & recommendations. We will show different upgrade tips for proper RAM installation. We will provide a thorough review on best practices for configuring your memory modules and a general overview on the different options including sizes, speeds and type of memory supported.
Let's begin with the memory! The Dell C2100 runs on DDR3 memory and has 18 DIMM slots. RAM capacity sizes include: 2GB 4GB 8GB 16GB or 32GB DDR3 server memory. Speed options include: 1066MHz, 1333MHz or 1600MHz. Please note: 1600 will clock down to 1333. There is only 1 type of compatible RAM: ECC Registered (RDIMMs). We get asked all the time, will Load Reduced Memory work inside the Dell PowerEdge C2100 server? Unfortunately, Load Reduced LRDIMMs is not compatible with the C2100 or any other 11th generation Dell PowerEdge server. The max memory configuration is 384GB via (12 x 32GB) DDR3 1600MHz ECC Registered Server Memory. Dell’s spec sheet will show the highest is 288GB via (18 x 16GB). However, we have tested & confirmed 384GB will work and is the true max memory capacity for the C2100 server.
The Dell PowerEdge C2100 runs on two CPUs, which are LGA1366 socket. This means the C2100 is powered by dual Intel 5500 or 5600 series CPUs. Options include dual core, quad core or hex core. We recommend two hex core as the price point is low these days. Some great options include: X5650, X5660, X5670 and L5645. Each Intel CPU supports nine DIMM slots. There are three Memory Channels per proc, which means three DIMMs per memory channel. That is bad news for quad rank memory as it will be effected by the rank rule. The rank rule states 8 ranks per memory channel. This is the reason you can only install 12 of the 32GB modules. You cannot install 18 quad rank DIMMs in the C2100.
Dell yet again brings to the table another high-performing enterprise level server in a clean 2U form factor. In our video, we provide a general overview of the memory & CPU specifications and provide tips on how to get the most out of your Dell PowerEdge C2100 server.
