IBM - 30R5151 - IBM 512MB 1 Rx8 PC2-4200 DDR2

The IBM 30R5151 is a 512MB DDR2 memory module specified as 1Rx8 PC2-4200, designed for compatible IBM server platforms that require DDR2-533 class registered memory. It’s a practical spare for maintaining legacy systems, expanding RAM for lightweight services, or keeping identical DIMM populations for stability in production environments.

This module installs directly into supported IBM server memory slots on the SYSTEM BOARD and is commonly sourced when servicing older IBM infrastructure. If you are refreshing compute resources around the same generation, it is often paired with matching platform components such as CPU upgrades to keep memory and processor capabilities aligned.

Key Features

Key specifications and deployment notes for the IBM 30R5151 memory module:

• 512MB DDR2 capacity to restore or expand memory in supported IBM server configurations.
• PC2-4200 (DDR2-533) speed grade to match platforms designed for DDR2-533 memory operation.
• 1Rx8 (single-rank x8) organisation to meet DIMM population rules on many IBM DDR2-era server boards.
• IBM FRU/part number 30R5151 to help ensure correct part matching for maintenance and spares.
• DIMM form factor for installation in compatible IBM server memory sockets for straightforward field replacement.
• Compatibility with selected IBM System x server families using DDR2 PC2-4200 memory, for example certain xSeries/System x models in the same DDR2 generation (verify against your server’s HMM/parts list).
• Suitable for like-for-like replacements to keep balanced memory configurations for predictable boot and POST behaviour.
• Enterprise hardware component intended for continuous operation in server environments to support stable 24/7 workloads.

Refurbished Quality and Warranty

This is refurbished hardware from Direct Hardware Supply. Units are cleaned and tested by technicians before entering stock to help reduce the risk of hardware defects and to support reliable deployment in business environments.

Refurbished parts help extend the lifecycle of existing IBM platforms, reduce electronic waste, and control budget compared to buying new. This item includes 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 shipping worldwide from Denmark and can help source additional IBM components for complete builds, including RACK SERVER systems.
