This 16GB RAM is 100% compatible with Dell PowerEdge R740 (Intel Xeon 1st Gen).

Information on memory configuration: The following technical specifications should be considered in advance: The device can accommodate RDIMM and RDIMM 3DS (Registered DIMM) or LRDIMM and LRDIMM 3DS (Load Reduced DIMM) RAM. LRDIMM memory is recommended when large memory capacities are required. If a memory upgrade is to be performed with the existing RAM, it must be checked which base memory technology (RDIMM / LRDIMM) is currently in use. In a multiprocessor system, memory slots should always be populated identically for each CPU. Memory slots without a processor present should not be populated. If memory modules with higher clock rates than specified by the system are offered, the memory clock will automatically adjust to the system specifications. The CPU supports 6 DIMMs per memory channel. Maximum memory speed for the possible CPUs: Xeon CPUs of the 1st generation are offered as Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. The different processor series support different maximum clock frequencies: Xeon CPU series max. Speed MHz Bronze 3100 2133, Silver 4100 2400, Gold 5100 2666, Gold 6100 2666, Platinum 8100 2666.
