Dell Precision Tower 3620 Compatible RAM modules
Hi guys
I'm hoping to get some help with RAM modules working for my Dell Precision 3620.
I have 2 3620, both running an Intel E3-1240 v5.
One has 4 8GB RAM module PC4-2400T. I bought it with 16 GB of RAM (2 * 8 GB) and I added 2 second-hand 8GB modules bought from eBay. I have had this unit for about 3 years, it runs fine, no problem at all.
A few weeks ago, I bought a second 3620, with 2 8GB PC4-2133P. No problem at all either. I decided to increase the RAM, adding 2 8GB modules, but I got the memory failure issue (Orange LED flashing 2 then 7 times). I assume the modules are faulty. I bought another set of 16GB modules, second, off eBay, and I got the same error. The unit doesn't post. I tried the modules on the other 3620, same issue. Is it a compatibility issue or I'm having no luck with faulty modules?
The existing modules' reference in the second 3620 is 8GB 2Rx8 PC4-2133P-UB0-11
The first set reference that didn't work is 8GB 1Rx4 PC4-2133P-RC0-11
The second set reference that didn't work either is 16GB 2Rx4 PC4-2133P-RA0-10-MB1
All are ECC modules.
From what I checked, the modules should be compatible with both the CPU and the Dell 3620. Or am I missing something?
Thanks.
