FAQ
What is the total memory capacity of this kit?
This Axiom memory kit provides 8GB of total memory capacity, distributed across four individual 2GB modules. The four-module configuration allows for balanced memory installation when the host system supports multiple memory channels, potentially improving overall memory bandwidth for demanding virtualization workloads.
What does ECC memory provide?
ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory includes additional circuitry that automatically detects and corrects single-bit memory errors in real-time. This technology prevents data corruption and system crashes that can occur from memory bit flips, making it essential for mission-critical applications, servers, and networking equipment where data integrity and system stability are paramount.
What is the difference between unbuffered and registered memory?
This kit uses unbuffered (UDIMM) memory, which connects directly to the memory controller without additional buffering circuitry. Unbuffered memory typically offers lower latency compared to registered (RDIMM) memory but may have limitations on maximum capacity per module. Unbuffered design is common in workstations and certain server platforms where low latency is prioritized over maximum capacity scaling.
What systems is this memory compatible with?
This Axiom memory is specifically validated for compatibility with Cisco Wide Area Virtualization Engine 294 (WAVE 294) systems. It is not designed for standard desktop computers, laptops, or other server platforms. Always verify your exact hardware model before purchase, as using incompatible memory can cause system instability or damage.
What is the operating speed of this memory?
This memory operates at 1066 MHz, which corresponds to the DDR3-1066/PC3-8500 standard. This speed represents the effective data transfer rate, with the actual clock frequency being 533 MHz (double data rate). The 1066 MHz speed provides sufficient bandwidth for the virtualization and networking applications typically run on Cisco WAVE 294 platforms.
Does this memory come with a warranty?
Yes, Axiom Memory Solutions provides a lifetime warranty for this memory kit. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term protection for your investment. This warranty support is particularly valuable for enterprise deployments where hardware reliability and vendor support are critical considerations.
