Dell A2893520 2GB DDR3-1333MHz RDIMM 2Rx8 CL9 Memory

Product Description

The Dell A2893520 is a 2GB DDR3 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory module, engineered to meet the specific requirements of Dell server and workstation platforms. This module operates at a frequency of 1333MHz, identified by the PC3-10600 standard, offering a balance of performance and power efficiency suitable for enterprise computing tasks. As an RDIMM, it incorporates an onboard register that buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling greater memory capacity and stability in systems. The '2Rx8' designation indicates that the memory module is configured with two ranks, each consisting of eight memory chips. This dual-rank design can enhance performance by allowing the memory controller to interleave operations between the ranks, potentially improving data throughput. The module's CAS Latency (CL) is rated at CL9, meaning it takes nine clock cycles to access data after a command is issued. This latency is typical for DDR3 memory operating at 1333MHz and is a key factor in the module's overall responsiveness. This specific Dell part number, A2893520, ensures compatibility and optimal integration within Dell's server and workstation ecosystems. RDIMMs are commonly used in environments where system stability, reliability, and the ability to support large amounts of memory are paramount, such as in data centers, virtualization hosts, and high-performance computing workstations. The 2GB capacity, while modest by today's standards, was a common configuration for specific server roles or as part of a larger memory array.
