The IBM 46Y0302 (46Y0302 - IBM 2GB ECC DIMM Memory Module) is a Memory component engineered for sustained enterprise-class workloads. Manufactured to OEM specifications and tested for compatibility with IBM System x and Power Systems server platforms, this part addresses common procurement scenarios where exact-match replacement, capacity expansion, or new-build deployment is required. Technical specifications include capacity of 2 GB, memory class of ECC. Common deployment scenarios include database server upgrades (in-memory caches, SQL buffer pools), VMware ESXi / Hyper-V virtualization host memory expansion, GPU compute scratch pools, and HPC node provisioning. Pro Disk Network sources the 46Y0302 through authorised distribution channels and applies a verification check against the OEM compatibility matrix before each unit is added to active inventory. Each unit ships from a US fulfillment hub (Hillsboro OR, Atlanta GA, or Phoenix AZ) with same-day dispatch on in-stock orders before 3pm ET. Net 30 / Net 60 terms available for qualified business, government, and education accounts. 30-day Pro Disk Network functional warranty included; free US ground shipping on orders over $150.
The 46Y0302 is a IBM memory component with capacity 2 GB, memory class ECC. Pricing on the 46Y0302 is quote-based — email sales@prodisknetwork.com or use our live chat for a quote within one business day.

Quick Answer: What servers is the 46Y0302 compatible with?
The 46Y0302 is a IBM 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 46Y0302 ship?
Pro Disk Network dispatches the 46Y0302 same-day on orders confirmed before 2 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 46Y0302 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.
New, Bulk, or Refurbished — Choosing Your Tier
Pro Disk Network offers the 46Y0302 across three procurement tiers. Each tier is fully functional and warranted; the choice comes down to budget, warranty length, and whether the deployment is production-critical or capacity-expansion.

Frequently Asked Questions about 46Y0302
Is the 46Y0302 a genuine IBM part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every 46Y0302 as factory-original IBM inventory verified against the manufacturer parts registry before listing. New units arrive sealed in OEM packaging; refurbished units are pulled from decommissioned IBM servers, surface-tested, and re-warranted by Pro Disk Network for 12 months.
What servers is the 46Y0302 compatible with?
The 46Y0302 is a IBM 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 46Y0302 ship?
Pro Disk Network dispatches the 46Y0302 same-day on orders confirmed before 2 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.
What is the warranty on the 46Y0302?
New 46Y0302 units carry the full IBM manufacturer warranty (typically 1 to 5 years depending on product line). Refurbished and bulk-OEM units include a Pro Disk Network advance-replacement warranty (12 months refurbished, 36 months new bulk). DOA replacement is free within 30 days of receipt.
Do you offer bulk pricing for the 46Y0302?
Yes. Pro Disk Network offers automatic volume discounts at 10, 25, 50, and 100+ unit tiers. Net 30 terms are available for verified businesses, government, and education buyers. Email sales@prodisknetwork.com with the quantity and target ship date for a quote within one business day.
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 46Y0302 is available across three procurement tiers, and the choice is driven by criticality, warranty coverage, and budget. New (sealed OEM) units carry the full IBM manufacturer warranty and command a 20-30% premium over bulk-OEM tier. New (bulk-OEM) units are factory-fresh modules sold without retail box; Pro Disk Network warranties them for 36 months. Refurbished units come from decommissioned servers, are individually MemTest-validated, and carry a 12-month advance-replacement warranty.
