FAQ
What is the difference between RDIMM and UDIMM memory?
RDIMM (Registered DIMM) includes a register between the memory controller and DRAM chips that buffers command and address signals, reducing electrical load on the controller. This enables more stable operation with multiple memory modules installed, making RDIMMs ideal for server configurations. UDIMM (Unbuffered DIMM) lacks this register and is typically used in consumer desktop systems where fewer modules are installed.
How does ECC memory protect my system?
ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory continuously monitors data for errors during operation. It can automatically detect and correct single-bit errors that occur from electrical interference or cosmic radiation. For double-bit errors that exceed correction capability, ECC memory detects and reports them to the system, allowing for appropriate handling. This protection is crucial for servers and workstations where data integrity directly affects system reliability and uptime.
What systems are compatible with this memory module?
This module is compatible with workstation and server platforms that support 240-pin DDR3 registered ECC memory. Specific validated platforms include ASUS Z9PE-D8 WS, Intel Server Board DS2600GZ, SuperMicro X9 series motherboards (X9DAX-iF, X9DRi-LN4F+, X9DRG-QF, X9DR3-F, X9DBU-3F, X9QRi-F+), SuperMicro H8DGU, and various SuperServer and SuperWorkstation models. Always verify compatibility with your specific motherboard documentation before installation.
What does the 1600 MHz speed mean for performance?
The 1600 MHz speed represents the memory's operating frequency, which determines how quickly data can be transferred between the memory module and the memory controller. At this speed, the module achieves a peak transfer rate of 12.8 GB/s (gigabytes per second) through its PC3-12800 interface. Higher memory speeds can reduce latency in memory-intensive applications, particularly in systems where the processor frequently accesses large datasets.
Can I mix this module with other memory in my system?
While technically possible in some systems, mixing memory modules with different specifications (capacity, speed, timing, or technology) is generally not recommended. For optimal stability and performance, memory modules should be identical in specifications and preferably from the same manufacturer and production batch. Mixing registered and unbuffered modules, or modules with different ECC status, will typically prevent system boot or cause instability.
What warranty coverage does this memory module include?
This Axiom memory module includes a lifetime limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. The warranty ensures replacement or repair of modules that fail under normal operating conditions. This long-term coverage reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the module's reliability for enterprise and workstation applications where extended service life is expected.
