Overview
Platforms sold by Honeywell are engineered for the process control mission of Experion and TPS
systems to provide consistent and robust performance. Through an extensive qualification process,
Honeywell defines specific peripheral devices, slot locations, and BIOS settings for best performance
and reliability, sometimes even adding cooling fans for longer service. Honeywell platforms are then
built to Honeywell specifications by the computer manufacturer.
Honeywell engineering has tested theDell PowerEdge R330XL serverwith other Honeywell hardware
and software and has qualified its use for specific configuration items as identified in the Software
Change Notice (SCN). The server is not a standard Dell model and cannot be ordered independently
from Dell. The Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is well trained and supports Honeywell platforms.
Use of any other server including a similar Dell model, is considered a project special and its TAC
support is limited according to the services policy.
The Honeywell-based Dell PowerEdge R330XL server provides the functionality of a server-based PC
running the Microsoft Windows server operating systems.
The release of this server is based upon RAID-5 and dual power supply design to provide computer-
based functionality for certain Experion systems and the TPS systems.
The Dell PowerEdge R330XL servers are shipped with the Tab number 51156061-100 8GB base
memory model & its replaced by 51156061-200 (16GB base memory model).
