Server memory at a low price – also for older servers from the HPE ProLiant, Dell PowerEdge, Lenovo System x or Fujitsu Primergy ranges. This is because previous models are often still perfectly adequate for small businesses – but if a RAM upgrade is required or a spare part is needed, these are often no longer available from the manufacturer. Our refurbished RAM modules stand for excellent quality and durability. Use them to cost-effectively upgrade servers used, for example, for archive data or phased-out functions, without placing a significant strain on your IT budget.
The Hynix 16 GB DDR3 Registered ECC module (P/N: HMT42GR7AFR4A-PB) offers a stable, energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for businesses wishing to continue operating their existing systems reliably. As a DDR3L module with ECC error correction, it ensures high stability and reliable continuous operation – ideal for production servers that still perform critical tasks today.

Security adviceElectrostatic discharge (ESD):
Wear a grounding wrist strap or touch a grounded metal surface when handling RAM to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
Protection against moisture:
Keep liquids away from RAM modules and slots to avoid short circuits or corrosion.
Temperature protection and ventilation:
Ensure that the system is well ventilated to prevent the components from overheating.
Electrical safety:
Disconnect all power sources from the device before installing or removing memory modules.
Cleaning and maintenance:
If possible, maintenance work should be carried out by trained specialists. Check the modules regularly for damage or loose connections. Start the system and check whether the new RAM is recognised by the system and is working properly. Clean the inside of the system regularly to avoid dust accumulation that could affect the memory modules. Carefully remove dust and dirt from the RAM slots using compressed air or a soft brush. Do not use any liquids or chemical cleaning agents for cleaning.
Assembly and disassembly:
Insert the RAM into the correct slot and ensure that it is fully engaged. Use minimal pressure to remove memory modules from their sockets to avoid damage.
Handling:
Only hold the RAM by the edges to avoid touching or soiling the contacts. Do not exert excessive force on the card or the connectors. Do not drop the RAM or place heavy objects on it.
Transport and storage:
Store RAM modules in antistatic packaging and protect them from strong temperature fluctuations, moisture and physical stress.
Why choose this particular module?
👉 This Hynix 16 GB DDR3L PC3L-12800R RDIMM combines ECC error correction, registered technology, a 2Rx4-rank design, a 1600 MHz clock speed and the efficiency of low-power DDR3L. This makes it ideal for businesses that wish to continue using older servers reliably for file services, archived data, backup jobs, terminal services or smaller virtualisation workloads.
Hynix is also one of the world’s largest RAM manufacturers — modules in this series are regarded as particularly durable and compatible with a wide range of professional server platforms.

Serverando tips for this module
→ Do not mix RDIMMs and LRDIMMs — DDR3 servers require a homogeneous memory subsystem; mixing different types can lead to boot problems or instability
→ Ensure identical rank structures — this module is 2Rx4; for optimum stability, all modules in the system should have the same rank configuration
→ Use the same clock frequencies — consistent speed bins prevent downclocking and performance loss
→ Install modules in pairs / with symmetrical channel configuration — this improves bandwidth and reduces latency
→ Make good use of DDR3L — the lower voltage (1.35 V) reduces power consumption and heat generation during continuous operation
Benefits of refurbished equipment
When purchasing your server parts and spare parts, opt for ‘refurbished hardware’. We have put this through its paces – in other words, it has been cleaned, tested and professionally refurbished. These high-quality devices and components from well-known manufacturers are available on the second-hand market at prices that are affordable even for SMEs. So expand your IT infrastructure smartly and cost-effectively with second-hand servers and spare parts. Good for your wallet and the environment.
FAQ on the Hynix 16 GB DDR3 RAM 2Rx4 PC3L-12800R ECC (HMT42GR7AFR4A-PB)
2Rx4 modules are the most common architecture for DDR3 servers. They offer stable signal paths, high compatibility and optimal ECC error correction – which is particularly important for production workloads.
Yes – DDR3L is backwards compatible with DDR3. The system automatically determines whether to operate at 1.35 V or 1.5 V. However, it is important that all modules are RDIMMs.
Yes – DDR3/DDR3L modules are no longer in regular production. A replacement module prevents long downtimes in the event of a RAM failure and is particularly cost-effective when purchased in refurbished quality.
✅ Perfect for older server generations: refurbished DDR3L RDIMMs offer stable performance for file services, virtualisation of small workloads and internal applications.
