Dell X1562 1GB DDR2-400MHz RDIMM 1Rx4 CL3 Memory

Product Description

The Dell X1562 is a 1GB DDR2 Registered DIMM (RDIMM) memory module, specifically designed for older generation Dell servers and other compatible systems that utilize DDR2 memory technology. Operating at a frequency of 400MHz (equivalent to PC2-3200), this module provides essential memory capacity for systems that may not support newer DDR standards. The Registered DIMM format includes an onboard register that buffers commands and addresses, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling the system to support a larger number of memory modules, which is crucial for server configurations. This module features an ECC (Error-Correcting Code) capability, a vital feature for server environments where data integrity and system stability are critical. ECC memory can detect and correct common types of memory errors on the fly, preventing data corruption and system crashes that could disrupt operations. The 1Rx4 configuration indicates that it is a single-rank module with a x4 data width, providing a standard memory interface for compatible motherboards. With a CAS Latency (CL) of 3, the X1562 offers a balance of speed and responsiveness suitable for the performance requirements of legacy server hardware. While DDR2 technology is now considered outdated, modules like the X1562 remain important for maintaining and extending the lifespan of existing infrastructure. It serves as a reliable component for systems performing tasks such as basic file serving, application hosting, or network infrastructure management where high memory capacity is not the primary requirement.
