IDENTITY: DDR4 ECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM) is cataloged as ddr4 registered server dimm class. Standards entries describe a module class; named manufacturer entries describe one SKU. Do not treat them as interchangeable records.

Recorded specifications

Catalog identityDDR4 ECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM)
Record typeDDR4 registered server DIMM class
Verified specifications288-pin DDR4 DIMM with register/buffer between host command/address signals and DRAM devices, plus ECC check-bit storage. Speed, capacity, ranks, timing, voltage, and buffer revision depend on the module.
CompatibilityRequires a memory controller and board specifically supporting DDR4 RDIMMs. UDIMM and RDIMM populations are generally mutually exclusive; follow the server vendor population rules, channel/rank limits, and CPU SKU support.
Unverified/variable detailsOnly values supported by the cited standard or manufacturer source are stated. Confirm exact part number/revision, SPD, ranks, timings, and voltage on the specimen when not specified above.

Platform compatibility and service

  • Requires a memory controller and board specifically supporting DDR4 RDIMMs. UDIMM and RDIMM populations are generally mutually exclusive; follow the server vendor population rules, channel/rank limits, and CPU SKU support.
  • Before installation, record the full label, manufacturer, part number, revision/date code, contact condition, chip markings, and SPD contents where present.
  • Use ESD precautions, handle the module by its edges, and never force it into a slot with different keying. Power down and follow the host’s service manual.
  • For server/ECC modules, confirm CPU support, buffering type, channel population, supported ranks/densities, and firmware behavior; physical fit is not proof of ECC operation.

Archival and service notes

Class/standard description only, not a manufacturer part. Capture registered/buffered type, rank, organization, SPD, and exact server platform compatibility from the label and service manual. Photograph both sides before cleaning; retain the host manual, SPD dump, test host, BIOS revision, and memory-test result with the catalog record.
