Model specifications

Capacity / module32 GB; 288-pin DDR4 DIMM
Rank / chip organization2Rx4 dual rank; x72 module bus (64-bit data plus 8-bit ECC), x4 DRAM organization.
Speed / JEDECDDR4-2933, 2933 MT/s (PC4-23400R); JEDEC timing CL21-21-21 at 1.2 V.
Voltage1.2 V nominal module VDD/VDDQ.
ECC / bufferingECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM) with command/address register.
Platform compatibilityUse only in DDR4 server/workstation platforms whose CPU and system board support registered ECC memory. Xeon Scalable 3rd Gen supports DDR4 up to 3200 MT/s, but the host can use a slower SPD rate based on CPU, board, DIMM loading and firmware. Check the exact system QVL for this 32 GB 2Rx4 SKU.

Service and compatibility notes

  • Do not mix RDIMM with UDIMM or LRDIMM unless a system vendor explicitly qualifies that arrangement.
  • Confirm supported DIMM-per-channel population, supported rank and maximum capacity before adding modules; these affect attainable frequency.
  • Photograph the label and archive the module SPD/revision for future service.
