10 Semiconductor Reliability This curve of semiconductor failures over time is called a bathtub curve Number Of Field Failures (in units) Early-Life Failures Useful Life Of Semiconductor A typical useful life would be 20 years or more Failure curve for lower-quality semiconductor products End-of-Life Failures Time Ship out from Factory to user Typically the first few months of usage 10
11 Kingston Production Testing and Dynamic Server Burn-In 100% Testing No spot testing! Kingston memory is 100% tested prior to leaving our factories, as we have always done Dynamic Server Memory Burn-In Shrinking DRAM lithography increases sensitivity to temperature, forcing higher error rates and exposing weak memory cells Kingston s advanced burn-in process screens these by simulating 3 months of heavy server use at higher temperatures under full system environment and frequency stress Proprietary Production Testers Kingston s test engineers designed the first automated production testers in the memory industry New patented automated testers build upon our test engineering legacy to meet the more stringent demands of evolving memory technology 35 Quality Control Checkpoints Kingston uses AQL sampling methods to re-inspect and re-test every lot to ensure our quality standards are being met Kingston holds 29 patents related to memory testing 11

20 ValueRAM Product Decoder Kingston ValueRAM is built to industry standard specifications outlined by J.E.D.E.C., the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council, on which Kingston holds a seat. Intel, AMD, and other computing chipset architects adhere to these standards for industry agreement and cross-platform compatibility. J.E.D.E.C. provides the specifications for Pin Count, Form Factor, Speed, Power, and Memory Technology Types 20
21 ValueRAM Server Focused Programs Intel Certified intended specifically for customers who are using Intel branded server/workstation motherboards or systems Qualified and supported by Intel Controlled builds (BOMs) PCNs with Day Notice Server Premier intended for server builders with fully controlled BOM requirements (PCB, chip brand/die revision, etc) regardless of brand of motherboard used Fully BOM controlled PCNs with Day Notice Easily manage what is ordered No price premium 21
22 ValueRAM Qualifications In addition to the strategic partnerships Kingston has with ODMs for submitting memory for qualification, we also work with independent memory test labs AVL and CMTL Labs for specific platform, motherboard, or system qualification. Test certificates are available on our website. Example: 22
23 Module Types For Server Platforms Registered DIMM Load Reduced DIMM ECC Unbuffered DIMM 288-pin DIMM Registered DIMM Load Reduced DIMM ECC Unbuffered DIMM 240-pin DIMM Optimizing Memory: DDR4 is NOT compatible with DDR3 based systems (module will not fit) Install memory in kits of identical modules according to memory architecture Configure all processors the same way for most bandwidth Do Not Mix Module Types within a server. Mixing DDR3 (1.5V) and DDR3L (1.35V) will default the memory to 1.5V. 23

25 64-bit Memory Loads (aka Ranks) Single Rank (1R) 64bits Dual Rank (2R) 64bits 64bits Quad Rank (4R) Ranks are virtual modules on a single DIMM, designed to save space on the motherboard Only one Rank is active at a time, the other ranks on the DIMM go into standby saving power 2R and 4R DIMMs consume less power than 1R DIMMs Memory lanes on the motherboard become congested with more memory loads, so server systems are limited by the number of ranks that can be used, as the memory slows down with more ranks populated, just line cars in heavy traffic 64bits 64bits 64bits 64bits 25
