KSM26RD4/64MEI

A high-capacity 64 GB server module using DDR4 ECC and registered signaling. The RDIMM buffer is a platform-level requirement and is distinct from ECC error correction.

Model specifications

Capacity / module64 GB; 288-pin DDR4 DIMM
Rank / chip organization2Rx4 dual rank; x72 module organization (64 data + 8 ECC bits), x4 DRAM devices.
Speed / JEDECDDR4-2666, 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300R); JEDEC CL19 at 1.2 V.
Voltage1.2 V nominal VDD/VDDQ.
ECC / bufferingECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM); command/address registered, not load-reduced.
Platform compatibilityRequires a DDR4 server platform qualified for 64 GB 2Rx4 RDIMMs and 2666 MT/s or better. Intel Xeon Scalable 3rd Gen supports DDR4 up to 3200 MT/s and can operate at a lower rate when the DIMM or configuration requires it. Confirm CPU, motherboard, firmware, population rules and exact QVL.

Service and compatibility notes

  • Use only in a host whose memory controller and board support ECC RDIMMs; do not substitute a UDIMM or mix registered and load-reduced types without explicit platform qualification.
  • The maximum transfer rate can decrease with older CPUs or higher DIMMs-per-channel loading.
  • Retain the exact label and SPD data because component and SPD revisions may change within a product family.
