7  Memory 
The Dell™ PowerEdge™ T310 supports DDR3 memory, providing a high performance, high-speed 
memory interface capable of low latency response and high throughput. Key features of the T310 
memory system include: 
•  2 channels per processor 
•  6 DIMM sockets with 32GB maximum capacity 
•  Support for unbuffered ECC DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMM) or registered ECC DDR DIMMs (RDIMM) 
•  DDR3 speeds of 1066MT/s and 1333MT/s  
•  Support for single-, dual-, and quad-rank DIMMs 
7.1 DIMMs Supported 
The DDR3 memory interface consists of two channels with up to two RDIMMs or UDIMMs per channel 
for single or dual rank and up to two RDIMMs per channel for quad rank. The following DIMMs are 
supported by the PowerEdge T310:  
•  1GB, DDR3 UDIMM, 1066 with ECC 
•  1GB, DDR3 UDIMM, 1333 with ECC 
•  1GB, DDR3 RDIMM, 1066 with ECC 
•  1GB, DDR3 RDIMM, 1333 with ECC 
•  2GB, DDR3 UDIMM, 1066 with ECC 
•  2GB, DDR3 UDIMM, 1333 with ECC 
•  2GB, DDR3 RDIMM, 1066 with ECC 
•  2GB, DDR3 RDIMM, 1333 with ECC 
•  4GB, DDR3 UDIMM, 1066 with ECC 
•  4GB, DDR3 UDIMM, 1333 with ECC 
•  4GB, DDR3 RDIMM, 1066 with ECC 
•  4GB, DDR3 RDIMM, 1333 with ECC 
•  8GB, DDR3 RDIMM, 1066 with ECC

7.2 DIMM Population Rules 
The following DIMM population rules apply: 
•  If DIMMs of different speeds are mixed, all channels will operate at the fastest common 
frequency.  
•  RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed.  
•  Mixing of ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs will force the system to function in non-ECC mode. 
•  Mixing quad-rank RDIMMs in one channel and 3DPC in another channel with the same 
processor socket is not supported. 
•  DIMMs must be installed in each channel starting with the DIMM slot farthest from the 
processor (slot 0) 
•  For each processor, Channel 0 supports up to two DIMMs and Channel 1 and 2 support one 
DIMM each
