In best case scenerios, the ECC part of the memory will be disabled when installed with non-ECC memory. In other cases, it will not work properly or lock up your machine. Best to cancel order or send it back if you can. Generally, unless your machine specs call for it, or your machine already has registered memory in it, don't use it. It differs in that it is pararity memory and works differently and thus, won't work properly with non parity memory. Parity memory has extra protection so to speak against data errors due to memory faults.
