Dell A6171726 2GB DDR3-1600MHz RDIMM 2Rx8 CL11 Memory

Product Description

The Dell A6171726 is a 2GB DDR3 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) module, specifically designed to enhance the memory capacity and performance of Dell servers. This module operates at a higher frequency of 1600MHz, corresponding to the PC3-12800 standard, which allows for faster data transfer rates compared to lower-speed DDR3 modules. The Registered DIMM design incorporates an onboard register that buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller. This feature is critical for server stability, enabling the system to support larger amounts of RAM and maintain reliable operation under heavy workloads. This particular RDIMM features a 2Rx8 configuration, indicating it is dual-ranked with eight memory chips per rank. Dual-rank modules can offer performance benefits through memory interleaving, where the memory controller can access different ranks in an alternating fashion. The module has a CAS Latency (CL) of 11, which is typical for DDR3-1600 modules and provides a good balance between speed and stability for enterprise applications. It operates at the standard DDR3 voltage of 1.5V. As a Dell-certified component, the A6171726 is guaranteed to be compatible with and perform optimally within Dell's server systems. This makes it an ideal choice for IT administrators looking to upgrade or expand the memory in their Dell servers to support virtualization, complex databases, high-performance computing, or other memory-intensive tasks. The combination of higher speed, registered architecture, and dual-rank design ensures robust performance and reliability for demanding server environments.
