The Hewlett Packard Enterprise DDR3 16GB 14900R memory module is a registered ECC RDIMM designed for server and workstation environments that require stable, high-capacity system memory. With a 16GB capacity and PC3-14900R class speed, this module supports demanding multi-threaded applications, virtualization workloads and database tasks by providing predictable performance and error-correcting capabilities tailored to enterprise platforms.
Advantages
This registered DDR3 module provides error-correcting code (ECC) to detect and correct single-bit memory errors, contributing to system reliability. The 16GB density reduces the number of modules needed to reach higher total memory configurations, simplifying system population and improving memory channel utilization. Designed for compatibility with enterprise-class servers and validated motherboards, the module offers stable operation under continuous heavy load and supports balanced performance with lower power consumption compared with older, less-dense memory options.
Suitable for
- Enterprise rack and tower servers running virtualization platforms
- Database and transaction processing systems requiring reliable memory
- Workstations handling large datasets, CAD or content creation tasks
- Server upgrades to increase total system memory capacity
Key specifications
- Memory type: DDR3 Registered (RDIMM) with ECC support
- Capacity: 16 GB per module
- Performance class: PC3-14900R (DDR3 data rate compatible with 1866 MT/s class signaling)
- Form factor: 240-pin DIMM for server motherboards
- Operating voltage and power characteristics suitable for server environments
How to use
Install the module into an appropriate DIMM slot on a compatible server or workstation motherboard following the system manufacturer's population rules and ESD safety procedures. Confirm BIOS/firmware compatibility and memory population order before powering the system. For upgrades, power down the system and disconnect power, then insert the module fully until the retention clips engage. After installation, boot into the system BIOS to verify correct size and ECC status, and run memory diagnostics if required to validate stability under load.
Usage recommendations
Use matching modules of the same capacity, speed and registered/ECC type across memory channels for optimal stability and performance. Consult the server or motherboard vendor memory compatibility list and population guidelines when planning capacity expansions, and run stress tests after installation in production environments.
