FAQ
What is the total memory capacity of this kit and how is it configured?
This AddOn memory kit provides 16GB of total capacity configured as two 8GB modules. The dual-module configuration enables dual-channel operation on compatible motherboards, which can provide increased memory bandwidth compared to single-module installations. This 2x8GB arrangement is ideal for balanced performance in server and notebook applications.
What DDR generation and speed does this memory operate at?
This memory utilizes DDR3 SDRAM technology operating at 1600MHz, which corresponds to the DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 standard. The 1600MHz speed provides a data transfer rate of 1600 million transfers per second, offering sufficient bandwidth for server workloads and demanding business applications while maintaining compatibility with DDR3-based systems.
Is this memory ECC or non-ECC, and what does that mean for my server?
This memory features non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) architecture. Non-ECC memory does not include the additional circuitry to detect and correct single-bit memory errors. This makes it suitable for server environments where error correction is handled at other system levels or where cost optimization is prioritized over error correction capabilities. The unbuffered design further reduces latency compared to registered/buffered modules.
What form factor and pin count does this memory module use?
This memory utilizes the SODIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor with a 204-pin interface. SODIMM modules are significantly smaller than standard DIMMs, making them specifically designed for space-constrained applications such as servers with limited expansion slots, notebooks, and small-form-factor systems. The 204-pin configuration is standard for DDR3 SODIMM memory.
What is dual-rank memory and how does it affect performance?
Dual-rank memory organizes memory chips into two independent sets (ranks) that share the same memory channel. This architecture allows the memory controller to access one rank while preparing the other, improving overall memory efficiency and bandwidth utilization. In server and performance-oriented applications, dual-rank modules can provide better performance than single-rank modules of the same capacity, particularly in workloads that benefit from efficient memory access patterns.
What types of systems is this memory compatible with?
This memory is designed for server applications and is compatible with numerous business notebook platforms. Specific compatible systems include HP EliteBook, ProBook, and EliteDesk series; Dell Optiplex, Precision, and PowerEdge models; Lenovo ThinkCentre and ThinkPad series; Intel NUC kits; and Panasonic Toughbook systems. The 'Device Supported: Server' designation indicates it meets the rigorous requirements for server deployment while maintaining backward compatibility with qualified notebook platforms.
