This Micron 32GB VLP RDIMM (DDR4-2400, CL17, Dual Rank x4) is engineered for dense server deployments where its very low profile form factor and 1.2V efficiency enable superior airflow and thermal management in blade and 1U chassis. The combination of registered signaling and ECC correction guarantees data integrity across all virtualized, in-memory database, and memory-hungry enterprise workloads, while the dual-rank x4 organization optimizes per-channel bandwidth and reduces memory access latency under heavy multi-DIMM configurations.
1. ECC memory silently corrects single-bit errors in real time, safeguarding financial transaction integrity and preventing silent data corruption in always-on virtualized environments.
2. Registered signal buffering stabilizes command and address buses across fully populated server boards, maintaining reliable operation even as memory channel loads increase.
3. The very low profile form factor minimizes airflow obstruction inside dense rack and blade chassis, directly translating to lower fan power and higher sustained compute density.
4. A 32GB module capacity provides the sweet spot for high-density virtualization nodes, allowing enough headroom for numerous VMs without sacrificing memory channel balance.
5. Dual rank x4 organization keeps bandwidth demand consistently spread across bank groups, improving throughput for in-memory databases and real-time analytics under parallel access patterns.
The Micron MTA36ADS4G72PZ-2G3 is engineered for the relentless demands of modern servers, where a memory fault is never an option. This 32 GB DDR4-2400 VLP RDIMM integrates four essential technologies directly into your data center workflow. Its ECC protection actively corrects single-bit errors caused by background radiation, preventing silent data corruption that could crash a virtual machine or poison a financial transaction during peak trading hours. The registered design buffers command and address signals, allowing a single server to run dozens of virtualized workloads or a massive in-memory database without the signal integrity collapse you dread when fully populating all memory channels. Deploying dual-rank x4 organization boosts interleaving efficiency, delivering measurably faster query responses in analytic databases by overlapping memory bank accesses. Meanwhile, the very low-profile form factor optimizes airflow in dense 1U and blade chassis, keeping thermal headroom safe when your cluster scales out. For your virtualization clusters and real-time caching layers, this module transforms abstract specifications into tangible uptime, predictable low latency and uncompromised data reliability.
This 32GB DDR4-2400 ECC Registered VLP RDIMM is tailored for dense server environments, combining error correction, high capacity, and a very low profile for thermal efficiency. Below are capacity planning guidelines for typical server workloads.
General Virtualization
Balanced memory channels are key to avoiding bandwidth bottlenecks in virtualized hosts. Install one identical 32GB RDIMM per memory channel—for example, 8 or 12 modules on a dual-socket server—to populate all channels symmetrically. This yields 256GB to 384GB of contiguous address space, comfortably supporting dozens of mixed workloads while preserving upgrade headroom.
In-Memory Database
Low latency and maximum capacity are essential for keeping entire datasets in RAM. Fill every available DIMM slot with these 32GB modules, deploying configurations such as 16 × 32GB (512GB) or 24 × 32GB (768GB). Distributing the modules across all memory controllers leverages rank interleaving, significantly accelerating large read/write operations and real-time analytics.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
HPC applications demand peak memory throughput. Use a fully balanced layout with one 32GB RDIMM per channel to avoid performance cliffs from unbalanced configurations. On a dual-processor platform with eight channels per CPU, 16 identical modules provide 512GB while delivering the maximum aggregate bandwidth required for parallel simulations and large-array processing.
Rigorously tested server memory. Compatible with Dell PowerEdge R740, R640, HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10, Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650, and more.
Q: Can I mix this MTA36ADS4G72PZ-2G3 with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing different brands or speeds is not recommended for registered server memory. It may cause signal integrity issues or fallback to lowest common speed, compromising stability in ECC environments.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my server system?
A: This VLP RDIMM DDR4-2400 module is designed for Intel and AMD server platforms with support for registered ECC memory. Verify your motherboard’s qualified vendor list and ensure it accepts 288-pin RDIMMs.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: To maintain balanced memory channels, populate identical DIMMs per channel starting with the slots furthest from the CPU. Consult your server board manual for specific slot numbering and interleaving guidelines.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No, this ECC registered server memory operates strictly at JEDEC-standard DDR4-2400. Overclocking and XMP profiles are not supported, as they would compromise data integrity in enterprise environments.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module is backed by a 1-year warranty. Registered ECC DIMMs are highly reliable with an annualized failure rate typically below 0.5% when operated within specified temperature and voltage ranges.
