Product Description
IBM EMFE 256GB (2×128GB) DDIMMs, 2933 MHz, 16Gbit DDR4 Memory
The IBM EMFE 256GB (2×128GB) DDIMMs, 2933 MHz, 16Gbit DDR4 Memory (CCIN 32AD / 3299, part numbers 01GY917 / 00HD801) is a high-density enterprise memory kit consisting of two 128 GB DDR4 Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), providing a total of 256 GB capacity at 2933 MHz effective speed. This memory is optimized for IBM Power Systems servers (primarily Power10 scale-out models such as S1024/9105-42A and select Power9 configurations), delivering excellent bandwidth, low latency, and advanced RAS features for demanding IBM i, AIX, and Linux workloads such as databases, virtualization, in-memory analytics, ERP, and high-concurrency applications.
Product Description
The IBM EMFE (feature code EMFE) memory kit includes two 128 GB DDR4 RDIMMs (CCIN 32AD or 3299, part numbers 01GY917 and/or 00HD801) rated at 2933 MHz with ECC and advanced reliability features. These high-density modules use 16 Gbit DRAM chips to achieve 128 GB per DIMM, enabling balanced scaling to hundreds of gigabytes or terabytes of memory in Power10 and compatible Power9 systems. The memory supports IBM Power10's advanced DDR4 subsystem (with OMI interface in Power10), including chipkill, lane sparing, dynamic sparing, predictive failure analysis, transparent memory encryption (in supported configs), and full compatibility with PowerVM logical partitioning, IBM i native memory management, and AIX/Linux large-page/hugepage support. The EMFE kit is qualified for high performance and RAS in Power10 S1024 (9105-42A) and select Power9 servers, making it suitable for workloads requiring substantial in-memory capacity (e.g., SAP, Db2, Oracle, analytics platforms, AI inference, virtualized environments). It is often used in balanced configurations alongside higher-capacity kits (e.g., EM78, EM6U) for maximum system memory scaling.
Features
- 256 GB total capacity (2 × 128 GB RDIMMs) for balanced high-density memory.
- DDR4 2933 MHz speed with ECC for error detection and correction.
- Advanced RAS: chipkill, lane sparing, dynamic sparing, predictive failure analysis.
- Support for PowerVM logical partitioning and memory overcommit.
- IBM i large page support and AIX/Linux hugepages compatibility.
- Hot-plug and concurrent maintenance in supported configurations.
- Low power consumption relative to capacity (optimized for enterprise efficiency).
- Full IBM qualification and firmware integration for Power10/Power9.

Compatibility
The IBM EMFE 256GB (2 × 128GB) DDR4 Memory kit is compatible with:
- Power Systems Models:
- Power10: S1024 (9105-42A) primary (designed for this model; supports balanced population for optimal bandwidth and RAS)
- Power9: Select models supporting 2933 MHz DDR4 (e.g., S922/S924/E950/E980 in backward-compatible configurations; verify with IBM for exact support)
- Operating Systems: IBM i 7.4+ / 7.5+, AIX 7.3+, Linux (RHEL/SUSE/Ubuntu), VIOS
- Attachment: Dedicated DDIMM slots on system board (balanced population across processors required for optimal bandwidth and RAS)
- Memory Subsystem: Power10 DDR4 channels with OMI; requires matching DIMM population per IBM guidelines
- Limitations: Model-specific (primarily 9105-42A); not compatible with DDR5-based Power10 models; requires latest firmware for full support; must follow IBM memory population guidelines for maximum performance and RAS
Verify exact population rules, firmware levels, and OS requirements via IBM Sales Manual or resources for your specific Power Systems model.
