FAQ
What Cisco equipment is this memory module compatible with?
This Axiom DRAM module is specifically designed for Cisco NPE 400 networking modules. It provides a direct-compatibility memory upgrade solution for this equipment, with the 144-pin interface and PC-100 standard ensuring proper electrical and physical integration. Always verify compatibility with your specific Cisco hardware configuration before installation.
What does ECC memory provide for networking applications?
ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory continuously monitors and corrects single-bit errors that can occur during memory operations. For networking equipment like Cisco NPE 400 modules, this enhances data integrity when processing routing tables, network state information, and packet buffers. ECC helps maintain system stability in 24/7 network environments where memory reliability is critical.
What is the difference between registered and unregistered memory?
This module uses unregistered (unbuffered) signal processing, meaning memory signals pass directly between the memory controller and DRAM chips without intermediate buffering. Unregistered memory typically offers lower latency and simpler design compared to registered memory, which includes a register to buffer signals for stability in high-density configurations. The unregistered design is appropriate for this single-module 256MB configuration.
What performance can I expect from this PC-100 memory?
The PC-100 standard specifies memory capable of operating at 100 MHz with corresponding timing parameters. This provides the bandwidth necessary for network processing tasks in Cisco NPE 400 equipment. While modest by contemporary standards, this performance level matches the requirements of the supported networking hardware and ensures proper system operation without compatibility issues.
How do I verify this memory will work in my Cisco equipment?
Confirm your Cisco hardware uses NPE 400 modules requiring 144-pin PC-100 DRAM. Check existing memory specifications for capacity, speed, and form factor compatibility. This module is designed as a direct replacement for original Cisco memory in NPE 400 equipment, but always consult Cisco documentation or technical support for your specific configuration before purchasing or installing memory upgrades.
What warranty coverage does this memory module include?
Axiom Memory Solutions provides a lifetime limited warranty for this DRAM module. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life, demonstrating confidence in the component's reliability for long-term deployment in networking environments. Warranty terms and claim procedures are available through Axiom's support channels.
