Adapter card for use with memory module system i.e. fully buffered-dual in-line memory module system, has memory plug contact for connecting adapter card to memory module e.g. unregistered dual in-line memory module

摘要

The adapter card (13a) has a plug connector device (19a) i.e. printed circuit board edge connector, for connecting the adapter card to a fully buffered memory module system i.e. fully buffered-dual in-line memory module system. A memory plug contact (17a) is provided for connecting the adapter card to a memory module e.g. unregistered dual in-line memory module (12a). A control device i.e. microcontroller (105), is provided for reading data permanently stored on the memory module, where the data characterizes the properties of the memory module. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a memory module system (2) a method for operating a memory module system.
