Dell TM143 16GB Kit (4x4GB) DDR2-667MHz FB-DIMM 2Rx4 CL5 Memory

Product Description

The Dell TM143 is a memory upgrade kit designed to enhance the performance of compatible Dell servers and workstations. This kit includes four 4GB modules, totaling 16GB of DDR2 memory operating at a speed of 667MHz. The Fully Buffered DIMM (FB-DIMM) technology incorporates an Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chip on each module, which serializes data traffic between the memory controller and the DIMMs. This approach significantly reduces the electrical load on the memory controller, enabling higher memory densities and improved signal integrity. Each 4GB module in this kit is configured as 2Rx4, meaning it is dual-ranked with an x4 organization. Dual-rank modules offer increased performance by allowing the memory controller to access different ranks independently, effectively doubling the number of available memory banks. The x4 organization refers to the width of the memory chips used on the module. The CAS latency of CL5 indicates the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a column address command, providing a balance between speed and latency for DDR2 memory. This memory kit is suitable for systems that require substantial memory capacity and the robust performance characteristics of FB-DIMM technology. The inclusion of ECC (Error-Correcting Code) ensures data integrity by detecting and correcting common memory errors, which is critical for server environments where uptime and data accuracy are paramount. The TM143 kit is an ideal solution for upgrading older server platforms that utilize DDR2 FB-DIMM memory, supporting demanding enterprise applications and virtualization workloads.
