Quick Answer: What servers is the N164M compatible with?
The N164M is a Dell server memory module. Confirm DIMM rank, voltage, and speed against the target server's supported memory list before deployment - mixed configurations may downclock to the slowest installed module. For server-specific population diagrams, email sales@prodisknetwork.com with your server serial number.
How fast does the N164M ship?
Pro Disk Network dispatches the N164M same-day on orders confirmed before 3 pm ET. Multi-pallet projects requiring crating ship within 2 business days. International shipping (Canada, Mexico, EU, APAC) takes 3-7 business days via DHL Express or FedEx International Priority.
The N164M is deployed by US enterprises, MSPs, government, and education customers across multiple infrastructure scenarios. Below are the most common deployment patterns Pro Disk Network sees in real-world orders.
Hyper-V Cluster Node — Windows Server 2019/2022 Hyper-V hosts with Storage Spaces Direct. Dynamic memory allocation makes higher-density DIMMs cost-effective.
AI / ML Training — PyTorch and TensorFlow workloads benefit from large host memory pools for dataset preprocessing and CPU-side feature engineering.
Tanzu / Kubernetes Workers — Worker node memory expansion for high-density container deployments. Plan for 8–16 GB per moderate Pod baseline.
What is the N164M?
The N164M is a Dell server memory module with capacity 4 GB and pc standard PC2-5300, manufactured by Dell. Pro Disk Network ships this part new and certified-refurbished from our US warehouse with same-day dispatch on orders placed before 3 PM ET, backed by a 30-day return guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions about N164M
Is the N164M a genuine Dell part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every N164M as factory-original Dell inventory. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned Dell servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 90 days.
What servers is the N164M compatible with?
The N164M is a Dell server memory module. Confirm DIMM rank, voltage, and speed against the target server's supported memory list before deployment - mixed configurations may downclock to the slowest installed module.

What is the warranty on the N164M?
New N164M units carry the full Dell manufacturer warranty (typically 1 to 5 years depending on product line). Refurbished and bulk-OEM units include a Pro Disk Network advance-replacement warranty (90 days refurbished). DOA replacement is free within 30 days of receipt.

Compatibility: Rank, Density, and Channel Population Rules
Memory population order for Xeon Scalable is documented in the motherboard manual; the typical rule is to populate channels symmetrically across both CPU sockets and across all six channels per socket. For two-socket builds with eight DIMMs, populate the white slot first on each channel; for sixteen-DIMM builds, populate both slots on every channel. Asymmetric population leaves performance on the table.
Pricing Strategy: New, Bulk, or Refurbished
The N164M is available across three procurement tiers, and the choice is driven by criticality, warranty coverage, and budget. New (sealed OEM) units carry the full Dell manufacturer warranty and command a 20-30% premium over bulk-OEM tier. New (bulk-OEM) units are factory-fresh modules sold without retail box. Refurbished units come from decommissioned servers, are individually MemTest-validated, and carry a 90-day advance-replacement warranty.
