The IBM 47J0149 is a 2GB (Dual-Rank x8) PC3-10600 VLP RDIMM memory module designed for enterprise server platforms that require ECC registered DDR3 memory. With its low-profile (VLP) form factor and registered DIMM design, it is well suited for dense configurations where airflow and physical clearance matter in rack deployments.
This module is typically used to maintain or expand memory capacity in compatible IBM server systems and to keep existing configurations consistent during hardware refreshes. When planning an upgrade, it’s common to verify the target SYSTEM BOARD memory population rules and to align memory choices with the installed CPU generation for stable operation. For broader platform planning and spares strategies across IBM infrastructure, see the IBM portfolio and related RACK SERVER options.
Key Features
Key technical characteristics of the IBM 47J0149 module for professional server maintenance and upgrades:
- 2GB capacity RDIMM module to expand memory in supported IBM server configurations without changing the platform.
- PC3-10600 (DDR3-1333) memory speed rating to match compatible DDR3 server memory channels and maintain predictable performance.
- Dual-Rank x8 organisation to support common enterprise DIMM population schemes and balanced memory layouts.
- ECC registered (RDIMM) design to help improve memory reliability and signal integrity in multi-DIMM server environments.
- VLP (Very Low Profile) form factor to fit dense chassis layouts and support efficient airflow in rack installations.
- Designed for compatibility with IBM System x and related IBM server families that use DDR3 ECC RDIMMs, such as selected xSeries rack servers (verify system support lists for your exact model).
- Suitable for like-for-like replacement scenarios to keep mixed DIMM configurations consistent and reduce troubleshooting risk.
- Enterprise-grade component intended for 24/7 server operation to support production workloads and maintenance spares holdings.
Refurbished Quality and Warranty
This is refurbished IBM server memory, cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects. Refurbished parts are a practical choice for extending the lifecycle of existing environments, supporting maintenance contracts, and reducing electronic waste while controlling budget compared to buying new.
All products from Direct Hardware Supply include a one-year warranty from the date of purchase (batteries, tape drives and tape libraries include a three-month warranty). Extended warranty options are available on request. Direct Hardware Supply is an international supplier of refurbished IT hardware, shipping worldwide from Denmark.
