I have some good news for you.
1) I can assure that ECC lines are connected between CPU and DIMMs on
7010/9010 DT schematics
2) I have successfully launched my OptiPlex 9010 SFF with a Xeon E3-1275
v2 and 4x 4GB UDIMMs non-ECC.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to launch the machine with ECC RDIMMs
due to I/O latency overflow in the native raminit. Probably it will only
work  with unregistered DIMMs (which I will probably try soon) because
registers on the DIMMs introduce higher latency. Maybe Patrick can shed
some light on this raminit matter?

Best regards,
