FAQ
What is the total memory capacity of this DRAM kit?
This Axiom memory kit provides 8GB of total memory capacity, distributed across four individual 2GB modules. This configuration allows for balanced memory allocation across the system's memory channels, optimizing performance for compatible Cisco networking hardware including the ASR 1001 Router.
What does ECC mean for this memory module?
ECC stands for Error-Correcting Code, a technology that automatically detects and corrects single-bit memory errors. This feature is essential for mission-critical networking equipment where data integrity cannot be compromised. ECC memory prevents silent data corruption that could lead to network instability or incorrect routing decisions.
What is the difference between registered and unbuffered memory?
This memory uses registered (buffered) signal processing, which includes electrical buffers that improve signal integrity across the memory bus. Registered memory is particularly beneficial in multi-module configurations like this 4-module kit, as it reduces electrical load on the memory controller and provides more stable operation compared to unbuffered memory in server environments.
Which devices are compatible with this memory kit?
This memory kit is specifically compatible with the Cisco ASR 1001 Router and is designed to support server, switch, and router applications generally. The 240-pin DIMM form factor and registered ECC design make it suitable for enterprise networking hardware that requires these specific memory characteristics for reliable operation.
What is the form factor and pin configuration?
This memory uses the standard 240-pin DIMM form factor, which is the common interface for server-grade memory modules. The 240-pin configuration provides the necessary electrical connections for data transfer, addressing, and control signals, while the DIMM form factor ensures proper physical fit in compatible memory slots.
How many modules are included in this kit?
The kit includes four individual 2GB memory modules, providing a total of 8GB capacity. This four-module configuration is designed to work together as a matched set, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance when installed in systems that support this module count and configuration.
