IBM Server Memory in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest-moving server markets in the region, and ICD supplies IBM enterprise parts into the Kingdom’s Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam hubs. ICD supplies genuine IBM registered ECC server memory for the System x line — the platform that grew out of IBM’s x86 server business and is still in production across the region. Whether you are keeping an older x3650 alive or scaling a newer M5 fleet, the parts on this page are real, in-catalog IBM units we can quote and ship.
Popular pulls right now include 5695 IBM 4GB RDIMM DDR2-533 PC2-4200R ECC Memory, with the full IBM memory range below.
IBM Server Memory models we supply
Every part below is a genuine IBM FRU/option held in our catalog. Spec data is read from the part itself — match the part number to your server’s machine type before ordering.

Need it spec’d against your exact chassis? 7894 IBM 8GB RDIMM DDR4-2133 PC4-17000R ECC Memory is one of several configurations we supply — send us the machine type and we will confirm the right carrier and firmware level.
Rank, speed and System x DIMM rules
System x memory is registered ECC, and the rules are strict: the DIMM type (RDIMM vs LRDIMM vs UDIMM), the DDR generation, the rank (1Rx4, 2Rx4, 2Rx8) and the rated speed all have to match what the platform and the installed processor support. Mixing ranks or speeds across a channel forces the whole bank down to the slowest module — or refuses to train at all.
The modules below span DDR3 and DDR4 at the PC3 / PC4 speeds System x M4 and M5 generations expect. We confirm the machine type, the populated CPU and the existing DIMM layout before quoting, so a memory upgrade keeps every channel running at full rated speed rather than quietly de-rating.
Buying IBM server memory in Saudi Arabia
Riyadh anchors government and financial workloads, Jeddah covers the western region and the Red Sea projects, and Dammam serves the Eastern Province energy sector. Vision 2030 and NEOM are driving a wave of new colocation and edge builds across all three.
What Riyadh buyers get from ICD: We prepare shipments with SABER / SASO conformity in mind so parts clear Saudi customs cleanly, and we quote in USD against multi-year refresh programmes.
For a fast example, 43X5070 IBM 8GB 4Rx8 RDIMM DDR3-1066 PC3-8500R ECC Memory ships from the same source that serves our Saudi Arabia customers.

Before you order
- Send the machine type and the installed CPU — both gate the supported DIMM speed.
- Match rank and DDR generation to the modules already populated in the bank.
- Tell us the target total capacity so we balance DIMMs across channels.
- Avoid mixing RDIMM and LRDIMM in the same bank.
