FAQ
What Cisco devices is this memory kit compatible with?
This Axiom 128MB DRAM kit is specifically designed for compatibility with the Cisco Catalyst 6000 MSFC Module and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Supervisor Engine 1A. These are enterprise networking components used in Catalyst 6000 and 6500 series switches and routers. The memory has been engineered to meet the electrical and timing requirements of these specific Cisco hardware platforms.
What is the total memory capacity and how is it configured?
The memory kit provides 128MB of total capacity configured as two separate 64MB DRAM modules. This dual-module approach allows for flexible installation in compatible systems and can provide potential redundancy benefits. The 128MB capacity represents the combined memory available when both modules are installed in supported Cisco hardware.
What type of memory technology does this kit use?
This memory kit utilizes DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) technology. DRAM is a common memory type that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. In networking applications like Cisco Catalyst systems, DRAM provides the necessary memory resources for routing tables, switching operations, and network management functions with effective data transfer characteristics.
What warranty coverage does this memory kit include?
Axiom provides a 90-day lifetime warranty for this memory kit. This warranty period covers the product for 90 days from the date of purchase against defects in materials and workmanship. The 'lifetime' designation refers to the product's expected service life rather than an indefinite warranty period, with the coverage specifically limited to 90 days as stated in the product specifications.
Is this memory ECC or registered memory?
The product specifications do not indicate ECC (Error-Correcting Code) or registered memory features for this particular kit. This memory appears to be standard DRAM modules without additional error correction or buffering capabilities. For Cisco Catalyst 6000 and 6500 series compatibility, the memory meets the specific requirements of those platforms without the ECC or registered features that might be present in server-grade memory modules.
How many memory modules are included in the kit?
The kit includes two separate memory modules, each with 64MB of capacity. When both modules are installed in compatible Cisco hardware, they provide the total 128MB of memory capacity. The dual-module configuration allows for installation flexibility and follows the memory architecture requirements of the supported Cisco Catalyst 6000 MSFC Module and 6500 Supervisor Engine 1A systems.
