Server Memory Module

This IBM 00U0896 module delivers 16GB of DDR3 ECC Registered memory for System X servers. It uses a 240-pin form factor and operates at 1333 MT/s with CL9 latency. The unit is a refurbished component intended for enterprise maintenance or capacity upgrades.

Thermals and Power

The module runs at a low 1.35V, reducing power draw and heat output compared to standard voltage DDR3. Registered buffering lightens the electrical load on the memory controller during normal operation. This efficiency helps maintain stable temperatures inside dense server chassis.

Sustained Load Behaviour

ECC functionality continuously corrects single-bit errors to prevent data corruption during extended workloads. Registered architecture ensures signal integrity remains consistent when all slots are populated under heavy demand. The CL9 timing provides deterministic latency for continuous enterprise applications.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 240-Pin DDR3 module in a System X server, and what step is often missed?

Align the notch with the slot key, press firmly until both retention clips click, then verify the 1.35V low-voltage setting is enabled in BIOS so the registered ECC timings apply correctly.

What maintenance or replacement will this 16GB registered ECC stick need over its service life?

No routine maintenance is required; if a correctable error count climbs or the module fails POST, replace the individual 16GB DIMM rather than the full bank.

What limit appears first when this CL9 1333 MHz memory runs sustained workloads?

The DDR3 1333 bandwidth ceiling of PC3 10600 is reached before thermal or voltage limits, capping throughput on long compute jobs.
