 T3500 Workstation Technical Guide 

1.  Source: IDC WW Quarterly Workstation Tracker, May 2009 

2.  A 64-bit operating system is required to support 4GB or more of system memory. 

3.  Significant system memory may be used to support graphics, depending on system 

memory size and other factors. 

4.  GB means 1 billion bytes and TB equals 1 trillion bytes; actual capacity varies with 

preloaded material and operating environment and will be less. 

5.  The T3500 uses a very efficient Active Power Factor Correction (APFC) power supply. 

Dell recommends only Universal Power Supplies (UPS) based on Sine Wave output for 
APFC PSUs, not an approximation of a Sine Wave, Square Wave or quasi-Square 
Wave (see UPS Technical Specifications). If you have questions, please contact the 
manufacturer to confirm the output type.
