Dell A7088188 2GB DDR3-1333MHz RDIMM 1Rx4 CL9 Memory

Product Description

The Dell A7088188 is a 2GB DDR3 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory module, specifically designed and tested for compatibility with Dell server platforms. This module operates at a frequency of 1333MHz, providing a solid performance baseline for various server workloads. The DDR3 technology, while an older generation, still offers sufficient bandwidth for many business applications, especially when paired with compatible Dell server hardware. The RDIMM form factor includes an onboard register that buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling higher memory capacities and improved system stability. This specific module is configured as a 1Rx4 (Single Rank, x4 organization) DIMM. The rank configuration impacts how the memory controller accesses the memory chips, and the x4 organization refers to the data width of the individual DRAM chips. This configuration is common in server memory modules and is optimized for efficient data transfer within the server's memory architecture. The CAS Latency (CL) of 9 indicates the number of clock cycles it takes for the memory module to respond to a column address command, which is a standard timing for DDR3-1333 modules. Crucially, the Dell A7088188 supports Error-Correcting Code (ECC) functionality. ECC memory is essential in server environments as it can detect and correct single-bit errors in real-time, preventing data corruption and system crashes. This enhances the overall reliability and uptime of the server, which is critical for business operations. As an OEM-specified part for Dell servers, this memory module ensures seamless integration and optimal performance within the intended Dell system architecture.
