This is a known presentation error in iDRAC9 where the CPU speed is incorrectly labeled as MT/s instead of MHz or GHz. It does not indicate a hardware or firmware issue, but rather a unit-labeling mistake in the user interface. [community thread]
The part number GP6RN is confirmed to be valid for both the R6515 and R6415 servers. [community thread]
The R6515 uses two different PCIe risers: the left riser is part number 6KKNH and the right riser is part number W53WP. For additional purchasing information, please reach out to a sales representative or authorized reseller. [community thread]
For both servers, it is advisable to update the iDRAC firmware first, followed by the BIOS. Ensure to check the specific firmware requirements on the manufacturer's driver page, and aim to make one major version jump at a time to avoid compatibility issues. Always perform updates during low-load periods and create backups beforehand. [community thread]
Yes, you can mix RAM speeds, but the system will automatically adjust the speed of all installed DIMMs to the lowest speed, which in this case would be 2933 MT/s. It is advisable to use identical DIMMs for optimal performance, so sourcing the same original parts is recommended. [community thread]
The specific bracket (Dell P/N: PDP39) may not be available through official Dell parts channels. Consider checking online marketplaces or forums for user recommendations, and you can also explore general search engines for potential sources. [community thread]
To pinpoint the problematic DIMM slot, consider disabling the EDAC driver to allow the server's lifecycle controller to log the error more effectively. You can blacklist the EDAC modules by editing the '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf' file and adding the relevant modules, then reboot the server and run hardware diagnostics. [community thread]
