Lenovo ThinkSystem 32GB TruDDR5 4800MHz (2Rx8) ECC UDIMM

Experience next-level server memory performance with the Lenovo ThinkSystem 32GB TruDDR5 4800MHz (2Rx8) ECC UDIMM. Engineered for reliability and efficiency in demanding data-center workloads, this 32 GB DDR5 module delivers the speed, density, and error-correcting capabilities that modern servers require. Built on TruDDR5 technology, it emphasizes higher bandwidth, improved power management, and robust ECC protection to keep critical applications responsive and protected. Whether you’re expanding capacity for virtualization, databases, in-memory analytics, or mission-critical workloads, this ECC UDIMM is designed to integrate seamlessly into Lenovo ThinkSystem ecosystems and other compatible enterprise servers that support DDR5 ECC unbuffered memory. With a dual-rank 2Rx8 configuration and a 288-pin DIMM interface, it strikes a balance between performance and compatibility, helping systems scale without compromising stability or efficiency.

• Blazing DDR5-4800 speed for demanding workloads — This TruDDR5 module delivers up to 4800 MT/s, enabling faster data access for databases, virtualization, real-time analytics, and large-scale applications. The higher bandwidth helps reduce memory bottlenecks during peak processing and memory-intensive tasks, contributing to lower latency under load and improved overall system responsiveness.
• 32 GB per DIMM with dual-rank 2Rx8 configuration — A high-density memory option that boosts parallelism and capacity headroom, supporting larger datasets and more virtual machines per host. The dual-rank design enhances memory interleaving, which translates to improved bandwidth utilization across memory channels and better performance in multi-threaded server workloads.
• ECC protection with unbuffered design for server reliability — Error-Correcting Code (ECC) ensures detection and correction of memory errors, helping to prevent data corruption in critical applications. Coupled with an unbuffered memory path, this module provides dependable, server-grade reliability while maintaining straightforward compatibility with a wide range of server motherboards and memory controllers.
• 288-pin DIMM form factor for broad compatibility — The standard ECC UDIMM interface for servers, designed to fit into compatible DDR5 DIMM sockets. Its unbuffered topology and 288 pins are widely supported in Lenovo ThinkSystem systems as well as other enterprise servers that specify DDR5 ECC UDIMM compatibility, making it a versatile upgrade option.
• Energy-efficient TruDDR5 technology for lower TCO — DDR5 brings improved power management and efficiency, helping to reduce overall operating costs in dense data-center environments. Along with robust performance, this translates into better total cost of ownership (TCO) over the life of the system, particularly in environments with heavy memory utilization and sustained workloads.

How to install Lenovo ThinkSystem 32GB TruDDR5 4800MHz (2Rx8) ECC UDIMM

Installing this memory module is straightforward when you follow proper static-safe handling and alignment. Use these steps to upgrade or populate memory in a compatible server:

• Step 1: Power down the server, unplug from power, and discharge any static electricity using an anti-static wrist strap or grounded mat. Ensure the system is completely powered off before touching components.
• Step 2: Open the server chassis and locate the memory slots that support DDR5 ECC UDIMMs. Confirm that you have available 288-pin DIMM slots and that the motherboard or memory controller supports the TruDDR5 ECC UDIMM specification.
• Step 3: Hold the memory module by the edges and align the notch on the DIMM with the key in the memory slot. Gently but firmly insert the module into the slot, applying even pressure until the side latches click and lock the DIMM in place.
• Step 4: If you’re installing multiple modules, ensure proper population order per the server’s memory topology guidelines. Avoid forcing modules into slots that resist seating, and reseat any previously installed modules if needed to optimize interleaving and bandwidth.
• Step 5: Close the chassis, reconnect power, and boot the server. Enter the BIOS/UEFI to verify the new 32 GB module is detected as DDR5 ECC memory. Run a POST check or a memory diagnostic tool to confirm stability, and then verify the memory is recognized by the operating system.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does TruDDR5 mean? A: TruDDR5 refers to Lenovo’s branding for the DDR5 memory technology built to deliver higher bandwidth, improved efficiency, and robust reliability tailored for server and data-center workloads.
• Q: Is this module compatible with non-Lenovo servers? A: DDR5 ECC UDIMM modules with a 288-pin interface are widely supported by many enterprise servers.
