Fujitsu 3401-B11 GS3 ECC RAM Support?

[alexnetdoc]

Good day all,

I understand that there are topics about the motherboards and ECC RAM support for 6th Gen CPU's. But unfortunately there are no information at all about Fujitsu 3401-B11 GS3 motherboard and it's chipset, only some boards, but they are either A versions or B21 versions of it :(

I have currently installed 32GB of non ECC RAM on it and using for Truenas Scale. While using this board with Intel i3-6100 CPU that I have bought for 40 Euros both I started to search for something with ECC support, but after readin about C23X chipsets and ECC support I wanted to google on how to check the motherboard chipset when you have it...

in Truenas command line I have found this:
root@truenas[/home/admin]# lspci

01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Kingston Technology Company, Inc. Device 500e (rev 01)

Does it mean that I can buy UDIMM ECC memory and it will work? What do you guys think?

Best regards,

Alex

The more I go deeper into this the more I understand that it can be Q150 chipset, or C23X chipset.

Demicode information I have got only:
Base Board Information
Manufacturer: FUJITSU
Product Name: D3401-B1
Version: S26361-D3401-B1


That said I can't find on any Fujitsu site the information about the board.

I hate intel so much for not having a proper support for consumer grade ECC memory :(

OK, so my investigation got me to the document somewhere in Germany:
Link to the motherboard datasheet

it seems that based on the information I should have Q150 chipset... Page 2
