The Dell AA335287 is a memory module for PC and server systems, specifically designed for use in Dell servers and workstations. It is a single 8-GB DDR4 module in 288-pin DIMM format, operating at a clock frequency of 2666 MHz. The module is equipped with error correction (ECC), making it suitable for critical applications in server environments where data integrity is of high importance. The memory voltage is 1.2 V, which is typical for DDR4 modules and ensures efficient power supply.
Applications
This module is intended for a range of Dell systems, including server models PowerEdge R330, R230, T330, T130, T30, as well as workstations Precision T3630, T3630 XL, R3930, R3930 XL, and 3430 SFF/3430 XL. These devices are used in enterprise environments where high reliability and continuous availability are required. Its use in workstations indicates applications requiring high computing power and stable memory performance, such as CAD, 3D rendering, or data analysis.
Features and Specifications in Detail
The module has a memory capacity of 8 GB, configured as a single module (1 x 8 GB). The chip organization is defined as 1Rx8, meaning it is a single-rank module with 8 bits per chip. This design ensures efficient use of the memory bus width and supports the high clock frequency of 2666 MHz. The designation UDIMM (Unbuffered DIMM) indicates that it is an unbuffered module that communicates directly with the memory controller. This is typical for systems that do not require registration but still support ECC functions.
Technology Explained Simply
The DDR4 (Double Data Rate 4) memory technology enables a higher data transfer rate compared to older generations, with a clock frequency of 2666 MHz corresponding to a bandwidth of PC4-21300. This means the module can transfer 21300 MB of data per second, which is sufficient for modern server and workstation applications. The ECC function detects and corrects single-bit errors in memory, enhancing system stability and preventing data loss. The operating voltage of 1.2 V is standard for DDR4 modules and ensures an energy-efficient operating environment.
Compatibility and Accessories
The module is specifically designed for the mentioned Dell systems. It is not universally compatible with all PC or server motherboards, but requires support for DDR4, ECC, and the 288-pin DIMM form factor. When selecting memory for Dell systems, the exact model designation is crucial to avoid compatibility issues. There are no specific accessories directly associated with this module, as it is a standard memory module.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is performed by inserting the module into an available DIMM slot on the motherboard. The 288-pin configuration ensures proper alignment, and the connection is secured by a retention clip. No additional tools are required for installation, although the computer should be powered off and disconnected from the power supply before mounting. The exact number of available DIMM slots and the maximum supported memory capacity depend on the specific system.
Operational Advantages
The use of the Dell AA335287 provides a reliable memory solution with integrated error correction, suitable for critical applications in server and workstation environments. The DDR4 technology with 2666 MHz ensures sufficient performance, while the 1.2 V voltage enables an energy-efficient operating environment. Compatibility with specific Dell models ensures seamless integration into existing systems without requiring additional configurations or driver adjustments.
