Dual in line memory module (dimm) connector

A system, comprising:

• a memory controller;
• a connector supporting at least one industry standard memory module and including logic operable to access and route pin outs of a plurality of primary and secondary memory devices;
• and
• a redundancy controller coupled to the connector, the redundancy controller operable to direct the connector to activate and remap the secondary memory devices to replace a failing primary memory device in response to a request from the memory controller.

A memory module connector, comprising:

• means for mechanically retaining an industry standard memory module to a circuit board;
• a first set of electrical paths extending through the mechanically retaining means and configured to electrically couple the industry standard memory module to the circuit board;
• and
• a second set of electrical paths configured for coupling the first set of electrical paths to logic circuitry on the mechanically retaining means.
