Frequently Asked Questions about 7998-8234
Is the 7998-8234 a genuine IBM part?
Yes. Pro Disk Network sources every 7998-8234 as factory-original IBM inventory. 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 90 days.
What servers is the 7998-8234 compatible with?

What is the warranty on the 7998-8234?
New 7998-8234 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 (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 7998-8234 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. Refurbished units come from decommissioned servers, are individually MemTest-validated, and carry a 90-day advance-replacement warranty.
