Recorded specifications

Catalog identityKingston Server Premier KSM26RD8/16HDR
Record typeKingston DDR4 ECC Registered DIMM
Verified specifications16 GB DDR4-2666; 288-pin ECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM); 1.2 V, CL19, per Kingston product specification. Rank organization omitted unless confirmed for the exact revision.
CompatibilityRequires a server/workstation platform that explicitly supports DDR4 RDIMMs. Do not mix this registered module with UDIMMs or LRDIMMs in a channel. Actual speed may be reduced by CPU, ranks, and population.
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 server/workstation platform that explicitly supports DDR4 RDIMMs. Do not mix this registered module with UDIMMs or LRDIMMs in a channel. Actual speed may be reduced by CPU, ranks, and population.
  • 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

This is a Kingston SKU, distinct from the general RDIMM class. Verify suffix and full part number, system support list, SPD, and server population map before use. Photograph both sides before cleaning; retain the host manual, SPD dump, test host, BIOS revision, and memory-test result with the catalog record.
