System-Specific SODIMM for ThinkPad E540

This 8 GB DDR3L SODIMM is built for the Lenovo ThinkPad E540 notebook. It runs at 1600 MHz with CL11 timings and a low 1.35 V operating voltage. The unbuffered, non-ECC module uses a 2Rx8 rank configuration and fits the 204-pin slot. Computer Memory Solutions validates compatibility for this specific system.

Suits E540 owners; not for other platforms

It suits owners of a ThinkPad E540 who need a single 8 GB stick to reach the 16 GB maximum across two sockets. Builders working on any other laptop or desktop platform should look elsewhere because this module is qualified only for the named model. Systems requiring ECC, registered DIMMs, or a different pin count cannot use it.

204-pin DDR3L 1600 CL11 at 1.35 V

The deciding specification is the 204-pin DDR3L interface running at 1600 MHz with CL11 latency at 1.35 V. Only notebooks that accept this exact voltage, pin layout, and speed will recognise the module. Verify your service manual matches these parameters before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the module come as a single stick or a kit, and is anything else needed for installation in a ThinkPad E540?

The package contains one 8 GB DDR3L 1600 SODIMM stick; no extra parts are required for installation in the ThinkPad E540.

Should I choose this 8 GB DDR3L 1600 CL11 stick or a different capacity for my E540?

The E540 supports up to 16 GB across two slots, so one 8 GB module leaves the second slot free for a matching stick later.

What does the 1600 MHz rating mean once the stick is running in the laptop?

The module operates at 1600 MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35 V, delivering PC3L 12800 bandwidth in the E540.
