Will a Dell PowerEdge R720 be up to the task?

[jdancer]

Sorry to revive this thread, but I'm looking into a possible upgrade, and going for PC3L 12800R modules.

I'm not familiar with those types, maybe someone can help me understand:

• The PC3L means it is an LRDIMM and thus it will not have the rank rule when adding more memory modules?
• Or it simply means it is a 1.35v module and still I have to check if it's a single/dual/quad rank module?

(some reference about dell r720 and memory modules)


Thanks.

Per https://www.dell.com/support/manual...50b0f0-b658-4f09-a3f8-668d9ced36ae&lang=en-us, LRDIMM not supported on R720s with 3.5 drives. I do know it works fine with regular RDIMMs.

PC3L-12800R = Low Voltage and Registered
PC3-12800L(R) = Load Reduced
PC3L-12800L(R) = Low Voltage and Load Reduced
