Relevant product facts for this section include Memory Size: 4 GB, Memory Technology: DRAM, Number of Modules: 2 x 2GB, Number of Pins: 240-pin. When those details are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it connects, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Technical Overview
This memory kit operates at DDR2-667 speeds with a PC2-5300 designation, providing balanced performance for server applications that require consistent data throughput. The ECC (Error-Correcting Code) implementation automatically detects and corrects single-bit memory errors, reducing the risk of system crashes and data corruption in critical environments.
Unbuffered signal processing maintains direct communication between the memory controller and DRAM chips, minimizing latency compared to registered or buffered alternatives. This configuration is ideal for systems where low-latency response is prioritized over maximum memory capacity expansion.

FAQ
What Cisco systems is this memory kit compatible with?
This Axiom memory kit is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with Cisco MCS 7825-I4 server platforms. It meets the exact electrical specifications, timing requirements, and physical form factor needed for proper operation in these systems. Always verify compatibility with your specific hardware model before purchase.
What does ECC memory provide compared to non-ECC memory?
ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory includes additional bits that allow the memory controller to detect and correct single-bit errors automatically. This provides enhanced data integrity and system stability, particularly important in server environments where memory errors could cause application crashes or data corruption. ECC memory is standard for most server applications where reliability is critical.
What is the difference between unbuffered and registered memory?
Unbuffered memory (also called unregistered) has a direct connection between the memory controller and DRAM chips, resulting in lower latency. Registered memory includes a register between the controller and memory chips, which allows support for more modules but adds slight latency. This Axiom kit uses unbuffered architecture, which is appropriate for systems prioritizing responsive performance over maximum capacity expansion.
What performance can I expect from DDR2-667 memory?
DDR2-667 memory operates at a data rate of 667 million transfers per second (MT/s) with a peak bandwidth of approximately 5.3 GB/s per module. This provides solid performance for server applications from its era, balancing speed with power efficiency. The PC2-5300 designation refers to the theoretical maximum bandwidth of 5300 MB/s.
Why does this kit include two 2GB modules instead of one 4GB module?
The 2x2GB configuration enables dual-channel memory operation when installed in corresponding memory slots on compatible motherboards. Dual-channel architecture doubles the available memory bandwidth compared to single-channel configurations, improving overall system performance for memory-intensive tasks. This matched pair ensures optimal compatibility and performance.
What does the lifetime warranty cover for this memory?
Axiom provides a lifetime warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for the duration of the product's life. This warranty typically includes replacement or repair of modules that fail under normal use conditions. The warranty demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the product's reliability and provides long-term assurance for your investment.
