96GB DDR3 Kit for Early 2009 Xserve

This 96GB kit contains twelve 8GB DDR3 1066 registered ECC modules built for the Apple Xserve (Early 2009, 8-Core). It matches the Xserve3,1 model ID and A1279 (EMC 2279) chassis. The memory runs at 1.50V and uses major-brand chips on a 240-pin RDIMM form factor.

Registered ECC modules protect data integrity

Each module is a 2Rx4 registered ECC DIMM, so the memory controller can correct single-bit errors and reduce electrical load on the server's memory bus. This configuration supports the 2.26GHz Xeon E5520, 2.66GHz Xeon X5550 and 2.93GHz Xeon X5570 processors listed for the platform. The registered design allows all twelve slots to be populated without signal degradation.

Verify twelve free slots and CPU tray revision

The Xserve (Early 2009, 8-Core) provides twelve DDR3 slots across two processor trays, so confirm every slot is empty before ordering the full kit. Check that the installed processors are among the three Xeon models specified above, as other CPU revisions may change the supported memory speed or maximum capacity. Buyers who need a smaller upgrade or who run a different Xserve generation should look for a kit matched to that specific configuration.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 modules need any periodic replacement or maintenance after installation?

The modules are solid-state components with no moving parts and require no scheduled replacement or maintenance once seated in the Xserve.

What limit appears first when the kit runs continuously at 1066 MHz in the Xserve?

The memory controller on the 2.26, 2.66 or 2.93 GHz Xeon CPUs caps bandwidth at PC3-8500 speeds, so throughput hits that ceiling before the modules themselves.

How much heat and power does the full 96 GB kit draw when the server runs all day?

Each 8 GB RDIMM operates at 1.50 V; total draw scales with all 12 modules populated, and registered buffering adds slight overhead versus unbuffered DIMMs.
