Designed as a server-grade DDR4-2400 Registered DIMM with ECC, this 16GB module is ideally suited for virtualization hosts and in-memory databases where data integrity and system uptime are critical. The dual-rank x4 organization and registered signal topology enhance signal integrity and allow for higher memory density per channel, ensuring stable operation under sustained heavy workloads.
1. ECC detects and corrects single-bit memory errors in real time, preserving data integrity for transactional databases and preventing silent corruption in long-running virtualization hosts.
2. Registered signal buffering ensures clean command and address signaling across densely populated memory channels, allowing servers to scale to higher capacity without sacrificing uptime.
3. 16GB per module lifts the memory ceiling of dual-socket platforms, letting IT operators pack more VMs and containers onto fewer physical servers.
4. Dual Rank x4 organization interleaves access across internal banks to sustain near-peak bandwidth, keeping latency-sensitive workloads like in-memory caches and OLAP queries moving at line rate.
5. 2400MHz base frequency delivers consistent, energy-aware throughput for always-on deployments, where stable performance per watt matters more than burst peak speeds.
Server reliability is not negotiable. The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3A3IG is a 16GB DDR4-2400 RDIMM engineered for enterprise workloads, and four features directly defend your uptime. Its ECC technology continuously detects and corrects single-bit memory errors—silent data corruption that, in a virtualized cluster, could crash a critical VM or, in an in-memory database like Redis, quietly poison transactional records. Registered signal buffering stabilizes the command bus so you can populate all channels with high-density DIMMs without signal degradation, preserving stability as your hypervisor scales from a handful to dozens of virtual machines on one node. The dual-rank x4 organization interleaves memory banks, delivering the sustained bandwidth that real-time analytics and busy database buffer pools demand when query concurrency spikes. Finally, operating at a low 1.2V, the module trims power draw across a full rack of servers, directly lowering cooling costs and improving your data center’s total cost of ownership without sacrificing a single clock cycle of performance.
This 16GB DDR4-2400 Registered ECC module (RDIMM) is designed for servers and workstations requiring data integrity and large memory footprints. Its dual-rank x4 organization provides balanced loading per channel. Below are capacity planning guidelines for typical enterprise workloads.
General Virtualization
Virtualized hosts are often memory-bound before CPU. Populate all channels symmetrically to maximize bandwidth and capacity. For a dual-socket server with 8 memory channels per CPU, installing one 16GB RDIMM per channel yields 256GB total, comfortably supporting 30–40 average VMs. Leave room for growth—prioritize spare DIMM slots over mixing capacities.
In-Memory Database
Latency-sensitive databases like Redis or SAP HANA thrive on capacity and reliable signal integrity. Given the 2400MT/s speed and dual-rank design, populate two DIMMs per channel (2DPC) will drop speed to 2133MT/s or lower, which can hurt performance. For maximum capacity without sacrificing clock speed, fill each channel with a single dual-rank RDIMM and scale out with additional nodes if more memory is needed.
High Performance Computing (HPC)
HPC applications prefer balanced memory bandwidth. To sustain 2400MT/s, install one RDIMM per channel (1DPC) with identical part numbers on a dual-socket platform. For a typical 8-channel server, 8 x 16GB modules deliver 128GB of peak-bandwidth memory. Avoid mixing ranks per channel, as speed penalties can reduce floating-point throughput in tightly coupled parallel jobs.

Q: Can I mix this MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3A3IG with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing registered ECC modules from different brands or speeds is strongly discouraged. It may cause system instability or fail to POST. For reliable operation, use identical modules with the same Micron part number.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my server platform, such as Intel Xeon Scalable or AMD EPYC?
A: This DDR4-2400 registered ECC RDIMM is compatible with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 and select AMD EPYC platforms. Always verify your server's Qualified Vendor List for 16GB dual-rank x4 modules.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Follow your server's manual. Typically, populate identical DIMMs per channel, starting with slot 1 of each memory channel. For dual-processor systems, balance memory equally across both CPUs for best bandwidth.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. Registered server memory adheres strictly to JEDEC specifications and does not support overclocking or XMP profiles. It runs at the fixed 2400MHz speed with CL17 latency for reliability.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module includes a 1-year warranty. Annualized failure rates are extremely low, typically under 0.5%, meeting enterprise-class reliability standards for 24/7 operation.
