Product Identification and Target Applications
The Cisco UCSX-MR-X32G1RW= is a 32GB DDR5-5600 Registered DIMM engineered for Cisco’s UCS X-Series modular systems. The “RW” suffix indicates RAS (Reliability, Availability, Serviceability) features with Write-Back Cache Optimization, specifically designed for mission-critical database workloads and high-performance virtualization clusters. This Cisco-exclusive SKU integrates Unified Fabric Controller logic for memory coherence across UCS 9108 fabric interconnects, distinguishing it from generic DDR5 modules.

Operational Realities in Production Environments
In hyperscale cloud deployments, this DIMM demonstrates 73% lower correctable error rates compared to JEDEC-standard DDR5 modules – critical for financial transaction systems requiring Five-9s uptime. While the 1.1V operation reduces power consumption by 19% versus DDR4-3200, enterprises must carefully validate airflow patterns in UCS X9508 chassis to prevent thermal-induced throttling during sustained AVX-512 workloads. The module’s Post-Package Repair capability enables in-field DRAM layer replacement without service interruption, though this requires Cisco TAC Advanced Support contracts for firmware-assisted repair workflows. For organizations balancing TCO and performance, the DIMM’s ability to maintain <60ns latency under 80% utilization redefines in-memory computing economics – particularly when paired with Sapphire Rapids CPUs’ Intel Accelerator Engines.
