Legacy server modules for Dell PowerEdge, HP ProLiant, IBM and Sun servers

Posted by PRO Memory Upgrade on Wednesday, January 5 2011

The many benefits of customers gain purchasing memory modules from PRO Memory Upgrade:

1. PRO Memory Upgrade delivers new parts, many online retailers buy excess server equipment and pull modules from old servers and sell them back into the market as new, tested or compatible. Check module images and many times multiple insertion marks on the module PINs can be seen. Because server memory is expensive a culture of online resellers have adopted this approach to selling server memory.

2. PRO Memory Upgrade delivers server memory consistently. Because we stock a deep well of parts, large government, corporate and educational orders can buy with confidence. Orders are filled with matching kits, matching batches, date codes.

3. PRO Memory Upgrade supports larger customer requirements. Recent delivery of new, factory original 2GB server modules was made. Six-hundred, matching, new, factory original modules of a module type that was in shortage.

4. PRO Memory Upgrade is consistently lower than average on all memory module upgrade types. True value is obtaining something of worth not something of low cost.

5. PRO Memory Upgrade does allow for offers on all memory upgrades. We aim to meet the market online and help our memory users save, if they happen to find equal quality on an upgrade we offe

 

 

The truth about memory upgrades

Posted by PRO Memory Upgrade on Tuesday, August 17 2010

The memory industry is built on technology and marketing. With technology comes some attributes not so attractive, mainly in the areas of sub standard quality, economics, and oversupply. To give you an idea the road that is traveled during the process of memory module and the impacts that road has on the RAM upgrade bought online today we will attempt to shed light on the process.

Firstly, not all memory modules and the components used on modules are equal. There are vary grades and classes of chips and finished modules in the market today. When DRAM manufacturers process wafers and yield die to make memory components for DRAM ICs, there are never 100 percent yield rates. There is always a rate of fall out or defective units with the processed batch. This yield rate can play a role in prices going higher when technology advances and yields are not as high, thus quality supply can become short and thus the prices will rise. On the other hand if yield rates are very good, over supply can occur and prices may be soft and continually lower. DRAM makers generally strive to have a balance between supply and demand.

So what happens to the defective or non compliant components in the unsatisfactory part of the yield? In the old days it was destroyed, but as time has progressed it has become unheard of to simply throw away those batches of sub standard ICs or dies. Some memory module makers buy these batches of memory chips containing defective ICs, and then have the batch tested in order to select the chips for production on RAM modules. This lower quality of module is suitable for lower end machines that are not intended for harsh work environments, especially servers and are sold at lower than normal prices.

 

Many module makers simply do not know what they are buying or they can mix these effectively blank or black top chips together. There are two types, uTT and eTT. What is the outcome? RAM issues. Kernel panics, blue screens, random crashes, failure to boot and other hidden performance issues related to memory but never considered memory are known. eTT DRAM contrary to content on the internet are not full spec. Marketing and other comments found online would leave readers to think that these chips are of the top quality. It can be said but not proved. A classic example of this is eTT chips are not utilized for server applications. If only the marking on the chip was removed for third party branding then the server market would have a steady stable of buyers of this lower cost solution. Meanwhile uTT called untested also falls into this arena of really not being fully compliant with the intended spec of the chip, even after being tested.

Generic or house brands are typical. Marketing hype is added to add trust to these brands and sell modules for a lower cost. The real winners here are the module makers who establish business profit models based on these lower grade parts. This grade level is never procured by Dell, HP, IBM or Apple for PowerEdge or ProLiant servers as well as iMacs, MacBooks and more. However, online RAM sellers would try to have you think that inferior brands not made by DRAM makers are just as good, which is simply not the case.

  • Up to 192GB, using 8GB PC3-10600 or PC3-8500 DDR3 Registered (RDIMM) memory, operating at 800MHz when populated at 3 DIMMs per Channel in 24 slots.
  • Up to 64GB, using PC3-10600 ECC DDR3 Unbuffered (UDIMM) memory, operating at 1066MHz when populated at 2 DIMMs per Channel in 16 slots
HP ProLiant DL165 G7 (all models)
Maximum Memory
Up to 246GB memory is available with the optional installation of PC2-8500R-7 Registered DIMM memory kits.
Memory should be installed in pairs and matched for optimum performance.

DDR3 memory population guidelines

Some DIMM installation guidelines are summarized below:

  • For servers with twenty-four (24) memory slots:
    • There are four (4) channels per processor; eight (8) channels per server
    • There are three (3) DIMM slots for each memory channel; twenty-four (24) total slots
    • Memory channel 1 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are furthest from the processor
    • Memory channel 4 consists of the three (3) DIMMs that are closest to the processor
  • Do not mix Unbuffered memory (UDIMMs) with Registered memory (RDIMMs)
  • Do not install DIMMs if the corresponding processor is not installed
  • If only one processor is installed in a 2CPU system, only half of the DIMM slots are available
  • To maximize performance, balance the total memory capacity between all installed processors
  • It is not required, but it is recommended to load the channels similarly if possible
  • You can only have up to eight (8) ranks installed per channel
  • Mixing DIMM speeds is allowed, but the system processor speed rules always override the DIMM capabilities
  • If you do mix DIMM speeds, the memory bus will default to the minimum clock rate of all DIMMs in the system - even if the slower DIMM is on the other processor
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 1x 1333MHz DIMM in channel 2, you still run at 1066MHz
  • If you install 1x 1066MHz DIMM in channel 1 and 5x 1333MHz DIMMs with 1 DIMM Per Channel (DPC) in each of the other channels, you run at 1066MHz
  • If you install 3DPC in one channel (if applicable) and 1DPC in all other channels, you run at 800MHz
  • 95 Watt CPU's are required for 1333MHz DIMM speeds. All other CPU's are capable of up to 1066MHz
  • References to the above MHz speeds are for the various speeds of DDR3 DIMMs; 1333 refers to DDR3-1333, etc
  • You can only install one quad-rank DIMMs per channel and it must be in the center socket
  • You can only install two UDIMMs per channel; if available, the second (or middle) slot in the channel must remain empty
  • Populate DIMMs from heaviest load (quad-rank) to lightest load (single-rank) within a channel
  • Heaviest load (DIMM with most ranks) within a channel goes furthest from the chipset
DIMM Type Registered DIMMS (RDIMMs) Unbuffered with ECC DIMMs (UDIMMs)
DIMM Rank Single Rank Dual Rank (2R) Quad Rank (4R) Dual Rank (2R)
DIMM Capacity 4GB 2GB 8GB 16GB 2GB 4GB

Do it yourself Apple MacBook Pro 2009 Unibody memory installation or replacement instructions

Posted by PRO Memory Upgrade on Tuesday, August 11 2009

This installation can ultimately lead to a max upgrade of 8GB of DDR3 1066MHz, PC3-8500 204-PIN RAM for your MacBook Pro Unibody

Step 1: Shutting down your MacBook Pro Unibody

  • Shut down your MacBook Pro 2009 Unibody. Disconnect the power adapter, Ethernet cable, USB cables, security lock, and any other cables connected to the MacBook Pro to prevent damaging the notebook.
  • Collect all of your tools. For most laptops you will need a Philips-head screwdriver, needle nose pliers and Torx screwdrivers.
  • Turn over your MacBook Pro 2009 Unibody and remove the ten (10) screws that secure the bottom case. Because the screws are different lengths, note the screw lengths and locations so you can replace the screws correctly. Put them aside in a safe place. Lift off the case and place it to the side.

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o8/Hallinx/macbookpro1.jpg
Step 2: Removing static electricity

  • Ground yourself by touching a metal surface inside the computer to discharge any static electricity from your body.
  • Remove existing memory (if present)
  • Push the levers on the sides of the memory module in an outward direction to release the module from the memory card slot. The memory pops up at an angle. Before removing it, make sure you see the half-circle notches. If you don’t see the notches, try pressing the levers outward again.
  • Hold the memory module by its notches and remove it from the slot.
  • Remove the other memory module.

    Important: Hold the memory modules by their edges; do not touch the gold connectors.

http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o8/Hallinx/macbookpro3.jpg

Step 3: Install memory (DDR3 1066MHz, PC3-8500 204-PIN SO-DIMM)

  • Align the notch on the gold edge of the module with the notch in the lower memory slot.
  • Tilt the card and push the module into the slot.
  • Use two fingers with firm, even pressure to push down on the memory module. You should hear a click when the memory is inserted correctly.
  • Repeat this procedure to install an additional memory module in the top slot. Press down on the module to make sure it is level.
  1. Note: Make sure your memory is installed according to the illustration below, with the gold contacts inserted almost completely into the connector.
