Cisco 32GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module

Upgrade your Cisco-based infrastructure with a high-capacity, fast, and reliable memory module designed to maximize performance in routers, switches, and servers. The Cisco 32GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module combines 32 gigabytes of capacity with DDR3-1600 speed, running at a low 1.35-volt design to deliver efficient power usage in dense deployments. This Registered DIMM with ECC protection is engineered to maintain data integrity under heavy network traffic, virtualization workloads, and memory-intensive caching tasks. Whether you run a busy enterprise network, a data center edge, or a unified communications deployment, this memory module helps your Cisco devices respond faster, stay more stable, and scale to meet rising demands. With a focus on reliability, compatibility, and easy upgrades, it becomes a cornerstone for optimizing performance in modern network infrastructures.

  • 32GB capacity in a single DDR3 DIMM: This generous size reduces the need for multiple modules and frees up slots for additional expansion, enabling larger buffers, more extensive routing tables, and improved virtualization of network services. In practice, you’ll notice snappier device boot times, faster data caching, and smoother handling of large configuration sets in Cisco routers and switches without sacrificing reliability. The large memory headroom supports intensive tasks such as large-scale VPN segments, policy-rich firewall rulesets, and dynamic routing tables that demand quick access to cached data.
  • DDR3-1600 speed (PC3-12800) for responsive networking: Running at 1600 MHz, this memory module delivers high memory bandwidth that accelerates packet processing, QoS tasks, firewall and VPN workloads, and software-defined WAN operations. The result is lower latency in policy enforcement, quicker session lookups, and the ability to support more concurrent connections with less wait time for memory access. This speed tier helps when running virtualization features or network function virtualization (NFV) components on compatible Cisco platforms, providing a more fluid operational experience under heavy load.
  • Registered ECC memory for data integrity: The module uses registered buffering and error-correcting capabilities to detect and correct single-bit memory errors on the fly. This reduces the risk of data corruption and memory-induced system crashes in mission-critical network equipment, contributing to higher uptime, long-term stability, and consistent performance in busy environments. ECC protection is especially valuable in environments with large, table-driven routing environments, persistent caching, and extensive logging where memory accuracy directly impacts reliability.
  • Low power operation at 1.35V: A lower voltage design reduces heat output and power draw in dense deployments, helping to keep cooling costs down in data centers and provisioning closets. This is especially valuable when outfitting multiple Cisco devices in a rack or blade chassis where energy efficiency and thermal management are top concerns, enabling quieter, cooler operation while preserving peak performance. The efficiency benefits also support longer hardware refresh cycles by reducing thermal stress on components during sustained workloads.
  • Designed for Cisco devices and enterprise servers: Built with compatibility in mind for Cisco networking gear and other enterprise servers that support DDR3 RDIMM modules. It’s engineered to integrate smoothly with supported Cisco models, allowing straightforward installations and stable operation under heavy network workloads and virtualization environments. This module is part of a reliable memory upgrade path for expanding capacity in core routing, edge routing, and data-center-interfacing devices, delivering consistent performance gains without compromising system stability.

How to Install Cisco 32GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module

  • Power down the device completely, unplug from the power source, and discharge any static electricity before handling memory components.
  • Open the chassis or access panel to locate the memory slots. Identify the correct bank or channel according to your device’s service manual to ensure optimal interleaving and performance.
  • Align the module’s notch with the slot key and insert the RDIMM gently at a 30- to 45-degree angle. Once seated, press the module straight down until the side clips snap into place, securing the module firmly.
  • If you are replacing existing modules, remove old DIMMs in the reverse order of installation, then install the new 32GB RDIMM modules in the recommended slots to preserve memory interleaving and stability.
  • Reassemble the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the device. Enter BIOS/UEFI or rely on your operating system’s memory information to verify that 32GB of RAM is recognized and ready for use. If the system reports less memory or a error, re-seat the DIMM or check for compatibility notes in your device’s documentation.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: Is this memory compatible with Cisco routers and switches?

    A: Yes, this module is designed for Cisco devices that support DDR3 Registered DIMMs with ECC. Before upgrading, confirm compatibility with your specific Cisco model and firmware version using Cisco’s memory compatibility references or your device’s maintenance documentation.

  • Q: Is this an ECC memory module?

    A: Yes, it is Registered ECC DDR3 memory. The ECC capability helps detect and correct single-bit errors, contributing to improved reliability and uptime in networking equipment and servers under heavy workloads.

  • Q: What is the memory speed and voltage?

    A: The module runs at DDR3-1600 MHz with a standard operating voltage of 1.35V. Exact timings can vary by platform, BIOS, and memory interleaving configuration, so check your device’s memory support matrix for precise timing figures.

  • Q: How many modules should I install for best performance?

    A: For best results, install memory in matched kits or pairs according to your device’s memory population guidelines. Ensure that all modules share the same speed, capacity, and type to maximize interleaving performance and system stability.

  • Q: How can I verify the memory upgrade after installation?

    A: After installation, power on the device and verify memory in BIOS/UEFI or through OS-level diagnostics. Look for the total RAM reporting as 32GB and run memory stress or benchmark tests if required to ensure stability under peak workloads.
