Description
Product Overview
In the world of computer hardware, memory plays a critical role in ensuring the smooth operation of servers and workstations. Servers require high-performance memory that can handle multiple simultaneous operations without slowing down or crashing. One such memory module that fits the bill is the A6996808 8GB 1x8gb 1333mhz Pc3-10600 240-Pin DDR3 Ecc Fully Buffered Quad Rank Registered SDRAM Dimm Memory for Server, which is made by Dell.
In this article, we will explain in detail what each component of this memory module means, how it works, and why it is important for servers.
A6996808 8GB Memory Module
The A6996808 memory module is an 8GB RAM module, which means it has a capacity of 8 gigabytes. RAM, or random access memory, is a type of computer memory that is used to temporarily store data that the computer needs to access quickly. In the case of servers, RAM is used to store data and instructions for the programs and applications that are running on the server.
1x8GB Configuration
The 1x8GB configuration means that the memory module consists of a single 8GB memory chip. This configuration is commonly used in servers where multiple memory modules are installed to provide a larger amount of RAM. For example, a server with four memory slots could have four 1x8GB memory modules installed, providing a total of 32GB of RAM.
1333MHz Speed
The 1333MHz speed rating refers to the clock speed of the memory module. Clock speed is a measure of how fast the memory can transfer data to and from the processor. The higher the clock speed, the faster the memory can transfer data, which can result in improved performance for applications that require large amounts of data to be processed.
PC3-10600 Rating
The PC3-10600 rating is a type of DDR3 memory module that has a peak bandwidth of 10.6 GB/s. DDR3, or double data rate 3, is a type of memory that is commonly used in servers and other high-performance computers. The PC3-10600 rating indicates that the memory module is designed to operate at a peak bandwidth of 10.6 GB/s.
240-Pin DIMM
The 240-pin DIMM (dual in-line memory module) form factor is a type of memory module that is commonly used in servers. The 240-pin DIMM has 240 pins on the edge connector and is designed to fit into a matching memory slot on the motherboard. The DIMM form factor is preferred for servers because it allows for more memory to be installed in a smaller space than other form factors, such as the older SIMM (single in-line memory module) form factor.
ECC (Error-Correcting Code)
ECC is a type of memory that includes additional bits of data that are used to detect and correct errors that may occur during data transfer. ECC memory is commonly used in servers and other high-performance computing systems because it can help to prevent system crashes and data corruption. The A6996808 memory module is ECC memory, which means that it includes error-correcting code.
Fully Buffered
Fully buffered memory is a type of memory that uses a buffer to improve performance and reliability. The buffer is used to reduce the load on the memory controller by acting as an intermediary between the memory module and the memory controller. Fully buffered memory is commonly used in servers and other high-performance computing systems because it can help to improve system stability and performance.
