Built for servers that host virtualization, large databases, analytics, and memory-intensive applications, this Cisco memory module helps you push past memory bottlenecks while preserving uptime and predictable performance. Although refurbished, each module undergoes stringent testing to confirm compatibility with Cisco platforms and other ECC Registered DDR4 servers that support 288-pin DIMMs. With a 1.20V operating voltage, it combines high-capacity memory with energy-efficient design, making it an appealing option for data centers looking to optimize power usage without compromising performance. Whether upgrading Cisco UCS nodes, Cisco rack servers, or compatible enterprise systems, this module offers a straightforward, drop-in upgrade path that can significantly improve virtualization density, in-memory processing, and overall system responsiveness. The memory is sourced from trusted refurbishing channels and validated through comprehensive testing to ensure that it meets Cisco’s performance characteristics and reliability expectations, delivering a cost-effective way to scale memory while maintaining enterprise-grade stability. For IT teams, this 64GB DDR4 RAM module represents a practical balance between capacity, speed, and reliability, enabling faster startup times, improved application performance, and smoother operation under peak loads. In environments that rely on virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V deployments, the additional memory headroom reduces contention, enabling more virtual machines per host and ensuring consistent performance for end users. In data-centric workloads like in-memory databases, analytics, and large-scale ERP applications, the extra capacity helps minimize paging, accelerates data access, and supports more complex queries with lower latency. This Cisco memory module is ideal for upgrade scenarios where you want to maximize server throughput without the need to replace existing memory controllers or motion-intensive configurations. By choosing a refurbished alternative that has been tested for Cisco compatibility, you gain a reliable, cost-conscious option that aligns with modern data center needs—high capacity, dependable error correction, and predictable performance across a broad range of applications. If your goal is to future-proof your infrastructure for growing workloads, improving virtualization density, or ensuring consistent performance during peak periods, the Cisco 64GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module is a compelling choice that blends compatibility, capacity, and resilience into a single, value-focused memory upgrade.
- Massive 64 GB capacity in a single DIMM enables dramatic improvements in virtualization density, large-scale databases, and memory-intensive applications. With 64 GB on one module, you can host more virtual machines per server, reduce memory contention, and provide headroom for growth without swapping to disk. This is especially beneficial for VDI environments, in-memory analytics, and ERP workloads where memory capacity is a critical bottleneck.
- DDR4-2133 speed (PC4-17000) delivers robust throughput and responsive performance for demanding workloads. While every workload differs, the 2133 MT/s data rate helps accelerate memory-intensive operations, improve application load times, and provide smoother performance during peak demand. The efficiency of DDR4 also contributes to better thermal and power characteristics in dense data-center hardware configurations.
- ECC and Registered (RDIMM) architecture provide enterprise-grade reliability and data integrity. ECC detects and corrects single-bit memory errors, reducing the risk of data corruption, while the registered (buffered) design lowers electrical load on the memory controller for improved stability in multi-socket or high-memory-density servers. This combination is essential for mission-critical workloads where uptime and accuracy are non-negotiable.
- 288-pin DIMM form factor with a 1.20V operating voltage ensures compatibility with standard server memory architectures and helps optimize power usage. This configuration is widely supported by Cisco servers and many ECC Registered DDR4 systems, enabling straightforward upgrades without chassis or motherboard modifications. The voltage level also contributes to energy efficiency in large-scale deployments.
- Refurbished and rigorously tested for Cisco compatibility, offering a cost-effective upgrade path without compromising reliability. Each module undergoes refurbishment and quality assurance to verify timing, voltage stability, and seating integrity, ensuring dependable performance within supported Cisco platforms and other compatible servers. This makes it a practical choice for IT teams seeking to extend the life of existing hardware while maintaining enterprise-grade memory performance.

how to install Cisco 64GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module
- Power down the server completely, unplug the power cords, and disconnect any attached peripherals. Ensure the system is fully powered off and cooled before handling components.
- Ground yourself to prevent static discharge. Use an anti-static wrist strap or touch a metal chassis component before handling the memory module.
- Open the server chassis or memory access panel and locate an available 288-pin DDR4 DIMM slot. If upgrading, remove any existing memory modules only after identifying the correct order for your server’s memory population guidelines.
- Align the notched edge of the 64GB RDIMM with the slot’s keying and firmly press straight down until the DIMM is fully seated. The side latches should snap into place on both sides, indicating proper seating and connection with the memory controller.
- Replace the memory panel, reconnect power, and boot the server. Run a memory diagnostic or POST test to confirm detection of the new module and to verify no errors. Monitor system logs for any memory-related notices and adjust BIOS/UEFI memory settings if required by your platform.
- Optional: In a virtualized or database-heavy environment, run a comprehensive memory stress test to validate stability under load. Confirm that the system recognizes the full 64 GB and that ECC checks are functioning correctly. Document results for audit and inventory purposes.
Frequently asked questions
-
Q: Is this memory compatible with all Cisco servers?
A: It is designed for Cisco servers and other ECC Registered DDR4 systems that support 288-pin RDIMM modules. Always verify your exact model’s memory compatibility guide or Cisco’s interoperability list before installation to ensure full compatibility with your hardware stack. -
Q: What does ECC and Registered mean?
A: ECC stands for Error-Correcting Code; it detects and corrects common memory errors to protect data integrity. Registered (RDIMM) memory includes a buffer that improves memory controller stability on servers, especially in configurations with many memory modules or higher ranks. Together, ECC and Registered memory offer enhanced reliability for critical workloads. -
Q: Is this module new or refurbished?
A: This Cisco memory module is refurbished. It undergoes a thorough refurbishment and testing process to meet compatibility and performance specifications, delivering a cost-effective upgrade option without compromising reliability. -
Q: What workloads benefit most from 64 GB of DDR4 memory?
A: Virtualization (VDI and multiple VMs per host), large in-memory databases, analytics and data processing, memory-intensive enterprise applications, and dense web-scale deployments see the most benefit. The 64 GB capacity reduces paging and improves responsiveness under load. -
Q: Can I mix this module with existing memory?
A: It’s best practice to match memory type, speed, and rank with existing modules within the same server to avoid compatibility issues. If mixing, ensure the server supports mixed DIMMs and verify stability through post-install diagnostics.
