twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS (with optional SAS controller) or SATA hard disk
drives. With the hot-swap feature, you can remove or replace hard disk drives
without turning off the dx340 server.
v Large system-memory capacity
The dx340 system-board tray supports up to 32 GB of system memory. The
memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to eight
industry-standard fully-buffered, double-data rate 2 (DDR2), PC2-5300 FB-DIMMs
with advanced memory buffering.
v
Redundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover
capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the
primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the
primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and
without user intervention.
v
ServeRAID support
The dx340 system-board tray supports ServeRAID adapters to create redundant
array of independent disks (RAID) configurations.
v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
The dx340 system-board tray comes with one or two Intel microprocessors. If the
system-board tray comes with only one microprocessor, you can not add a
second microprocessor.
v Systems-management capabilities
The dx340 system-board tray supports IPMI version 2.0 over LAN system
management protocol. It supports an optional rack-level management controller
that uses industry-standard management tools.
