FAQ
What is the memory capacity and speed of this module?
This Axiom memory module provides 8GB of capacity operating at 1333 MHz speed. It follows the DDR3-1333/PC3-10660 standard, delivering a peak transfer rate of 10.6 GB/s for efficient data handling in server and workstation applications.
What does ECC mean for this memory module?
ECC stands for Error-Correcting Code, a feature that automatically detects and corrects single-bit memory errors. This prevents data corruption and system crashes, making the module ideal for mission-critical applications where data integrity is essential.
What is the difference between registered and unbuffered memory?
This is a registered module (RDIMM), which includes a register between the memory controller and DRAM chips to improve signal integrity. Registered memory supports higher module counts per channel and provides greater stability in server configurations compared to unbuffered modules.
What systems is this memory module compatible with?
This module is specifically designed for IBM server and workstation platforms that require 240-pin registered ECC DDR3 memory. It is compatible with IBM System x servers, BladeCenter systems, and workstations that support DDR3-1333 registered memory modules.
