IBM 00E2097 8x Slot Memory Riser Card for Power 7 Server P7 DDR3

IBM 00E2097 8-Slot DDR3 Memory Riser Card for Power Systems

Product Overview

The IBM 00E2097 is a genuine enterprise-level 8-slot memory expansion riser card designed specifically for high-density IBM Power7 and Power7+ scale-out and enterprise servers. It acts as a structural and electronic bridge between the main system processor board and the server’s system memory.

Equipped with 8 dedicated Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM) slots, this riser card allows system administrators to scale up memory capacity per processor socket using high-reliability DDR3 ECC Registered memory. By utilizing these memory risers, Power7 servers can achieve the high-bandwidth, multi-channel memory configurations required for intensive enterprise workloads, virtualization (PowerVM), and heavy database applications.

Key Features

• 8-Slot High-Density Layout: Accommodates up to 8 DDR3 memory modules per riser, allowing for massive memory density within a compact chassis envelope.

• Optimized Signal Integrity: Multi-layer PCB engineering guarantees precise impedance control and stable data lines, maintaining low-latency communication between memory registers and Power7 processors.

• ECC & Reliability Support: Built to support Error-Correcting Code (ECC) mechanisms, preventing single-bit errors and ensuring continuous server uptime in 24/7 data center environments.

• Rigid Retention Latches: Equipped with industrial-grade mechanical ejector latches to ensure secure seating of memory modules and resist vibration during heavy chassis cooling cycles.
