Dell A2628005 8GB DDR3-1066MHz RDIMM 2Rx4 CL7 Memory

Product Description

The Dell A2628005 is an 8GB memory module designed to enhance the performance and capacity of compatible Dell server and workstation systems. This module utilizes DDR3 SDRAM technology, operating at a frequency of 1066MHz, which corresponds to a PC3-8500 data transfer rate. As a Registered DIMM (RDIMM), it incorporates an onboard register that buffers address and command signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller. This feature is particularly beneficial in systems with multiple memory modules installed, as it improves signal integrity and allows for greater memory expansion and system stability. This specific memory module is configured as a 2Rx4 (Dual Rank x4) component. 'Dual Rank' means the module has two independent sets of memory chips (ranks) accessible via the same set of pins, effectively doubling the number of memory accesses possible per rank. 'x4' signifies that each memory chip is organized to handle data in 4-bit chunks. The CAS Latency (CL) is rated at CL7, indicating 7 clock cycles delay between the memory controller's command and the data output. This latency is typical for DDR3-1066 modules and balances speed with efficiency. Featuring Error-Correcting Code (ECC) capabilities, the A2628005 can detect and correct single-bit errors and detect multi-bit errors, ensuring higher data integrity and system reliability. This is a critical feature for servers running critical applications, databases, or virtualized environments where data accuracy is paramount. The module operates at a standard voltage of 1.5V, ensuring compatibility with motherboards that support DDR3 memory at this speed and voltage.
