Total Micro SmartMemory 64GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

Powerful, reliable, and scalable, the Total Micro SmartMemory 64GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module is engineered for server-grade performance. This 64 GB RDIMM is purpose-built to elevate memory-intensive workloads, from large-scale virtualization to database engines and high-traffic web services. By delivering robust capacity in a single 288-pin DIMM, it simplifies memory expansion while reducing slot pressure on your server's memory bus. Designed for data centers and enterprises that demand uptime and consistent throughput, SmartMemory is optimized for stable operation under heavy loads. With DDR4-2933 speed, a tight CL21 latency, and a standard 1.20 V voltage, this module balances speed, efficiency, and reliability for modern servers. Whether you're refreshing aging nodes, consolidating multiple virtual machines, or building a robust private cloud, this memory module helps you extract more performance per watt and per rack unit. Server environments benefit from predictable performance, improved latency profiles, and enhanced data handling capabilities when memory resources are abundant and stable. The SmartMemory line is designed to pair well with contemporary CPUs, high-speed memory controllers, and multi-channel configurations, delivering consistent throughput across workloads that demand high memory bandwidth and quick access to data.

• High-density, single-module capacity: 64 GB in a single DIMM (1 x 64GB) provides substantial memory headroom for memory-intensive workloads, reducing the need for additional modules and simplifying slot planning in dense server configurations. This density is ideal for virtualization hosts that run dozens of VMs, memory-resident databases, in-memory caching layers, and large-scale analytics. By maximizing capacity per module, you can scale memory linearly while minimizing the risk of memory fragmentation or sparse channel usage, which can otherwise hamper performance. With 64 GB in a single module, you unlock more virtual machines per host and more responsive caching for data-heavy apps, while preserving I/O bandwidth for compute tasks. In cloud-ready infrastructures, the ability to host multiple tenants with heavy RAM requirements becomes practical without increasing the number of DIMMs in each server, helping you optimize rack space and cooling demands.
• DDR4-2933 speed with optimized timings: This SmartMemory module operates at DDR4-2933 MT/s (PC4-23466) with a CL21 latency, delivering high data throughput and reduced latency for latency-sensitive server tasks. The higher memory bandwidth enables faster data access for databases, in-memory analytics, and real-time processing pipelines. The CL21 timing, paired with the 2933 MT/s rate, helps minimize memory access delays in memory-bound workloads, improving per-core performance and supporting faster queries and data movement across the memory controller. In servers handling virtualization, faster memory can translate to quicker VM boot times, better live migration performance, and smoother operation under peak loads. This combination supports dense, multi-tenant environments where microsecond-scale latency can influence application responsiveness and user experience in remote services and analytics dashboards.
• Registered (RDIMM) memory for server reliability: This is a Registered memory module, designed to buffer memory signals and improve stability on large memory configurations. RDIMMs are particularly well-suited for multi-socket servers and workloads spanning many memory channels, helping to reduce electrical noise and enable consistent performance under heavy usage. While ECC capability depends on the motherboard and model, Registered memory often pairs with server-grade platforms to maintain signal integrity, reduce error rates, and support long uptimes in mission-critical environments. If your server environment relies on memory-intensive operations with strict uptime requirements, this module provides the dependable backbone you need. The registered design supports higher memory capacities across processors, enabling efficient, scalable memory expansion for enterprise-grade applications.
• 288-pin DIMM form factor for broad compatibility: The standard 288-pin DIMM form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of DDR4-supported servers and workstation-class motherboards designed for RDIMM modules. Before installation, verify that your server or motherboard explicitly supports registered DDR4 modules, and confirm that it’s capable of handling 64 GB per DIMM in the specified speed tier. The 288-pin interface is the industry norm for DDR4 registered memory, helping you upgrade existing servers without major hardware changes. In practice, this means you can slot in this module to expand capacity quickly without requiring a redesign of the memory subsystem, keeping downtime minimal during upgrades and ensuring smooth integration with existing DIMMs and memory controllers.
• Energy-efficient operation for data centers: Operating at 1.20 V, this DDR4 module aligns with the power efficiency goals of modern servers. Lower voltage reduces heat generation and power consumption, which can translate into lower cooling requirements and improved overall energy efficiency in data centers. In environments where power budgets and thermal envelopes matter, this module offers a balance of performance and efficiency. For IT teams, that means less thermal throttling and more predictable performance during peak workloads, ultimately contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the life of the servers. Reliability and efficiency come together to support long-term uptime and better utilization of data center resources.

How to install Total Micro SmartMemory 64GB DDR4 SDRAM Memory Module

Installing a 64 GB DDR4 Registered DIMM is straightforward on servers that support memory expansion via RDIMMs. Follow these steps to ensure a safe and successful upgrade:

• Power down the server completely and unplug from the power source. If available, disconnect peripherals and ensure the system is isolated from static discharge. Ground yourself using a metal chassis or anti-static wrist strap to avoid damaging sensitive components.
• Open the server’s memory access panel or side door to expose the memory slots. Identify an available DDR4 RDIMM slot that matches your server’s memory configuration and guidelines in the manual.
• Handle the memory module by the edges. Avoid touching the gold-plated contacts or the memory chips. Align the notch on the module with the keying in the DIMM slot to ensure proper orientation.
• Insert the module at a slight angle (about 30–45 degrees) into the slot, then press down firmly and evenly until the module seats completely and the retention clips snap into place. Ensure the module sits level and the edges are flush with the slot.
• Power on the server and enter the BIOS/UEFI setup to verify that the system recognizes the 64 GB module. Review memory configuration, slot population, and memory speed. If applicable, run a memory diagnostic or a short stress test to confirm stability.
• Once confirmed, reassemble any covers and cables, then monitor the server during the initial boot to ensure no error codes or POST beeps indicate memory issues. Maintain proper airflow around the DIMM area to help with heat dissipation during extended workloads.

Frequently asked questions
