It is designed to work within Cisco UCS B-Series and C-Series environments, ensuring compatibility with the server’s memory controller and DIMM slots. The module’s form factor and electrical characteristics align with Cisco’s recommended configurations, enabling straightforward installation and fast recognition by the system BIOS. For administrators, this means fewer compatibility concerns and a quicker path to upgrade paths for growing workloads.
• TAA compliant for government and enterprise procurement: This memory module meets Trade Agreement Act specifications, making it a viable option for organizations that require compliant hardware procurement. TAA compliance supports government contracting, public sector deployments, and enterprise purchases where strict sourcing standards apply. In addition to compliance, the module is manufactured and tested to meet stringent quality control benchmarks, giving buyers confidence in long-term performance and support within Cisco-driven infrastructures.
• Quality assurance, reliability, and vendor support: Axiom Networking emphasizes reliability in every memory component, with extensive testing to ensure compatibility with Cisco hardware along with endurance under real-world operating conditions. The 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMM undergoes rigorous validation to verify stability, latency characteristics, and error-detection functionality. With explicit focus on Cisco ecosystems, these modules are backed by a warranty and access to customer support designed for network engineers and server administrators who maintain Cisco-based data centers.
• Memory capacity for today’s workloads and future scalability: 16GB of DDR4 RDIMM capacity provides ample headroom for virtualization, in-memory databases, large-scale caching, and multiple virtual machines running on Cisco UCS platforms. As workloads evolve, the combination of higher-density memory and ECC protection helps sustain performance levels while safeguarding data integrity. This module is an attractive option for users looking to extend server lifecycles, improve application responsiveness, and reduce the need for frequent memory-related maintenance in Cisco environments.

how to install 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMM for Cisco - UCS-MR-1X161RV-A - TAA Compliant

• Prepare and power down your Cisco system: Before handling memory, shut down the server or switch, disconnect the power, and follow your data center’s proper lockout/tagout procedures. Ground yourself to prevent static discharge and wear an anti-static wrist strap if available. Remove any chassis covers according to the device’s service manual.
• Identify the correct memory bank and slot: Consult the Cisco server’s motherboard layout or service guide to locate the appropriate DIMM slots for a 16GB DDR4 module. In most UCS configurations, memory is organized in multiple slots per processor, with specific channels and ranks. Use the recommended slot population order provided by Cisco to optimize memory interleaving and performance.
• Handle the RDIMM properly: Hold the module by its edges, avoiding contact with the gold contact pins. Do not touch the memory chips or the connector. If you are replacing existing memory, remove the old module by releasing the slot retaining clips and carefully lifting the module straight up and out of the socket.
• Install the memory module correctly: Align the notches with the slot and insert the 16GB DDR4 ECC RDIMM at the correct angle (if required by your server design) and apply even, firm pressure until the retention clips snap into place. Ensure the module sits evenly and securely; a mis-seated DIMM can cause POST failures or system instability. Repeat for additional modules if populating multiple slots per Cisco guidelines.
• Verify system recognition and configuration: Reinstall the chassis cover, reconnect power, and boot the system. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to confirm the total memory is recognized and correctly reported. Run any built-in memory diagnostics or a validation tool supported by Cisco, verify ECC is enabled, and monitor for any POST errors during startup. If issues arise, reseat the DIMM, check slot compatibility, or consult Cisco support for guidance.
• Update firmware and confirm compatibility: Ensure the server firmware, storage controllers, and memory controller drivers are up to date according to Cisco’s recommended baseline. Compatibility and performance gains are often realized with matched memory kits and current firmware versions. After confirming, monitor memory usage and system logs to ensure stable operation in production workloads.

Frequently asked questions

• Is this memory module compatible with all Cisco UCS servers? The 16GB DDR4-2400 ECC RDIMM for Cisco UCS-MR-1X161RV-A is designed to align with Cisco’s memory specifications for UCS platforms.
