Kingston is the only independent memory manufacturer to work with Intel and global DRAM manufacturers since 2004 to prototype, manufacture, and test FB-DIMMs. An expert in testing technology, Kingston has developed specialized and proprietary hardware testers and software to effectively test each FB-DIMM module prior to customer shipment. Kingston has also engineered special test boards and software to conduct detailed parametric and characterization testing of FB-DIMMs on high-end Automated Test Equipment (ATE) testers, therby verifying that an FB-DIMM complies with specification and is fully functional. In addition to a rigorous patented server burn-in testing process which reduces chances of early DRAM failure by 90 percent.
FB-DIMMs are the solution for scaling memory on mid-range servers into hundreds of gigabytes within the next few years.
Before 2006, two-way Xeon server platforms (code-named “Lindenhurst’) were limited to a total of eight ranks of memory modules, limiting upgrade flexibility and increasing cost dramatically when single-rank higher-capacity memory modules were required. The rank limitations were due to the Registered DIMM server memory technology, reaching “electrical loading” limits with higher-speed DDR333 or DDR2 memory. New DDR2 server memory architecture solutions were needed, prompting JEDEC to standardize on FB-DIMM as the next generation server memory.
