Dell A12927972 2GB DDR3-1066MHz RDIMM 2Rx8 CL7 Memory

Product Description

The Dell A12927972 is a 2GB DDR3 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory module, specifically designed for server and workstation applications where stability, reliability, and higher memory capacities are paramount. It operates at a speed of 1066MHz, providing adequate bandwidth for many server workloads. The RDIMM architecture includes an onboard register that buffers address and command signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and allowing for more memory modules to be installed in a system, which is a key requirement for enterprise environments. This module features a 2Rx8 rank configuration, meaning it is dual-rank with each rank composed of x8 (8-bit) data width memory chips. Dual-rank modules can sometimes offer performance benefits by allowing the memory controller to interleave operations between ranks. The CAS Latency (CL) is 7, indicating the number of clock cycles required for data retrieval after a command. It also supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code) functionality, which is critical for detecting and correcting memory errors, thereby ensuring data integrity and system uptime. With its 240-pin connector and standard 1.5V operating voltage, the Dell A12927972 is compatible with DDR3-enabled server platforms that support registered ECC memory. This module is suitable for upgrading existing server memory or for populating new systems that require reliable and stable memory performance for applications such as virtualization, database hosting, and critical business services.
