Overview

The IBM Memory Riser Card (model 74Y3278) is a precision engineered expansion solution designed to increase the memory capacity of compatible IBM server platforms. By mounting directly onto the system board, this riser card provides additional DIMM slots while maintaining a low-profile form factor that fits within tight chassis constraints. It delivers reliable high-speed data pathways, ensuring optimal performance for demanding workloads such as virtualization, database processing and large-scale analytics.

Key Features

  • Adds up to four additional DDR3 memory slots to supported IBM servers
  • Supports DIMM modules ranging from 2GB to 8GB per slot for flexible scaling
  • Optimized signal integrity with advanced trace routing and shielding
  • Low-profile design minimizes impact on airflow and cooling efficiency
  • Plug-and-play installation with standard socket connectors for quick deployment
  • Compatible with IBM System x, BladeCenter and related server families

Technical Specifications

  • Model/Part Number: 74Y3278
  • Form factor: Low profile riser card (approximately 1.5 inches high)
  • Memory type: DDR3 SDRAM, 1333 MT/s or 1600 MT/s supported
  • Number of slots: 4 x DIMM sockets
  • Maximum memory per slot: 8 GB
  • Total maximum memory capacity: 32 GB (additional to onboard memory)
  • Operating voltage: 1.5 V
  • Bus interface: PCI Express 2.0 x8 lane connection
  • Temperature range: 0 deg C to 55 deg C operating

Applications

The IBM Memory Riser Card is ideal for enterprises looking to extend the memory envelope of existing server investments without a full system upgrade. It is especially beneficial in:

  • Virtualization hosts requiring higher memory per VM
  • Database servers handling large in-memory tables
  • High-performance computing clusters needing additional RAM for complex calculations
  • Data analytics platforms processing big data sets in real time
  • Enterprise applications with intensive caching requirements

By adding the 74Y3278 Memory Riser Card, organizations can boost system performance, improve application responsiveness and protect their capital expenditures while maintaining compliance with IBM's rigorous quality standards.
