This is a server-class RDIMM with ECC and registered signaling, engineered for data integrity and stability in virtualized environments and memory-intensive workloads like in-memory databases. Its dual-rank x4 configuration boosts interleaving efficiency and available bank groups, while the registered signal type minimizes electrical load on the memory controller—ensuring reliable operation at 2400 MT/s with CL17 latency.
1. Error-correcting code protection eliminates single-bit data corruption, ensuring data integrity vital for financial transactions and database accuracy.
2. Registered signal buffering stabilizes heavy memory configurations, enabling reliable operation across numerous DIMMs in large-scale server deployments.
3. The capacity allows denser virtual machine packing per server node, maximizing consolidation ratios without sacrificing performance.
4. Dual-rank x4 organization keeps memory channels fully utilized, sustaining consistent bandwidth under simultaneous multi-tenant VM access.
5. The memory frequency delivers ample throughput for memory-intensive workloads, preventing bottlenecks in in-memory analytics and caching.
The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1RI is a 16GB DDR4-2400 Registered DIMM purpose-built for enterprise servers, where uptime and data fidelity are non-negotiable. Its four defining characteristics directly address the critical pain points of modern data centers. ECC memory eliminates the risk of silent data corruption by instantly detecting and correcting single-bit errors, a vital defense when a flipped bit in a financial database or a virtual machine’s memory state could cascade into a transactional rollback or a hypervisor crash. The Registered signal type integrates an onboard buffer that isolates the memory controller from electrical loading, allowing you to fully populate all channels in a dense 2U server without signal degradation, unlocking stable 512GB-plus capacities for sprawling virtualization clusters. The dual-rank x4 architecture enables rank interleaving, significantly improving effective bandwidth; while one rank is refreshing, the other services read requests, delivering the responsiveness demanded by in-memory databases like Redis or SAP HANA under heavy concurrent queries. Finally, the fast CAS latency of CL17 at 2400MHz ensures deterministic, low-latency access, keeping real-time analytics fluid. For IT operators, this module translates directly into fortified data integrity, massive stable scalability, and workload consolidation headroom without performance compromise.
General Virtualization
For dense VM hosting, populate memory channels symmetrically across both CPU sockets to avoid NUMA penalties. A balanced starting point is eight of these 16 GB Registered ECC modules (128 GB total), leaving room to scale to 256 GB by filling all 12 or 16 DIMM slots as workload density grows.
In-Memory Database
Maximize capacity and bandwidth by fully populating every memory channel with these dual-rank RDIMMs. In a dual-socket server with six channels per CPU, twelve modules deliver 192 GB while sustaining high throughput; the CL17 latency and dual-rank design keep large in-memory datasets responsive under heavy query concurrency.
High-Performance Computing
Bandwidth-sensitive HPC jobs benefit from one DIMM per channel (1DPC) to maintain the 2400 MT/s speed, so install a single 16 GB RDIMM in each channel. For capacity-bound simulations, scale to two modules per channel, accepting a minor frequency trade-off, to reach 32 GB per channel and still retain the reliability of registered ECC memory.
Verified compatible with Dell PowerEdge R760, HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650, and Cisco UCS C220 M6.
Q: Can I mix this MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1RI with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing RDIMMs of different brands or speeds is not recommended. The system will default to the lowest common speed and relaxed timings, potentially causing instability on server platforms that demand strict signal integrity and rank homogeneity.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my Intel Xeon or AMD EPYC server platform?
A: This DDR4-2400 ECC Registered RDIMM is compatible with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4, Scalable Gen 1/2, and AMD EPYC 7001 series platforms that support 2400MHz. Verify your motherboard's qualified vendor list for specific 16GB Dual Rank x4 modules.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance on a dual-socket server?
A: Install identical DIMMs per channel, populating the furthest slot from the CPU first. For dual-socket systems, balance capacity evenly across sockets and channels, following the motherboard’s population guide to maintain NUMA symmetry and maximum memory bandwidth.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No, this is an industry-standard JEDEC-compliant RDIMM operating at 2400MHz with fixed CL17 timings. It does not support XMP or overclocking, as server-class memory prioritizes stability and error correction over variable frequency enhancements.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect for this module?
A: This module is backed by a 1-year warranty. As an ECC Registered DIMM built with high-quality DRAM, it exhibits an extremely low annualized failure rate typical of enterprise-class memory, ensuring reliable 24/7 operation in critical server environments.
