DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM in each of the eight DIMM slots.
All supported system memory is addressable through
direct memory access.
The xSeries 336 server
supports 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB PC2-3200
ECC DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM memory.
All supported
DIMMs can coexist in the same system. Memory must
be populated in pairs.
Refer to the
Planning
information
section for supported memory options.
•
To ensure proper air flow for cooling, the xSeries 336
server requires a rack with a perforated door, such as
the NetBAY42 SR or NetBAY25 SR. An alternative is
to remove the front door of rack cabinets where the
door panel is of solid construction.
•
Microprocessor SMP upgrades must be of the same
type and clock speed.
Mixing microprocessors of
different speeds or cache size is not supported.
•
Use the version of ServerGuide that is shipped with
the system, or a later version, to load software and
drivers.
Earlier versions of ServerGuide may not be
compatible with the server.

Customer responsibilities
xSeries 336 and related options:
The xSeries 336 server
and related options are designated as customer setup.
Customer setup instructions are shipped with system and
options.
Configuration information
Bay configuration
This xSeries 336 server supports two 3.5-in Ultra320 SCSI
HDDs, comes with a DVD-ROM, and is an open bay model.
Models using the DVD-ROM are cabled directly to the IDE
port.
Cabling
—
Standard Non-RAID configurations:
xSeries
336 hot-swap models contain a DASD backplane
supporting up to four hot-swap, SCA-2-compliant drive
bays.
The backplane is connected to the internal
connector of the integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller
through a 16-bit LVD SCSI cable.
Additional cabling alternatives:
xSeries 336 non-hot-swap
models support two simple-swap SATA HDDs directly to
a SATA controller through a two-drop cable.
Rack installations:
xSeries 336 1 U rack-drawer models
are designed to be installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet
designed for 711.1 mm (28 in) deep devices, such as the
NetBAY42U ER and NetBAY42U SR.
Installation into
some of the older Netfinity
racks (9306900, 9306910,
9306200) requires a rack extension kit for proper cable
bend radius and cooling.
If an xSeries 336 server is mounted in a non-IBM rack, the
rack must satisfy the following specifications:
•
The rack must meet EIA-310-D standards for mounting
flanges and hole locations.
•
The front to rear distance of the mounting flanges must
be between 457.2 and 762 mm (24 and 30 in).
•
The thickness of the mounting flanges must be
between 1.9 and 3.3 mm (0.08 and 0.13 in).
•
The mounting flanges must have either 7.1-mm
(0.28-in) diameter holes or 9.6-mm (0.38-in) square
holes on the standard EIA hole spacing.
•
The rack must have a minimum depth of 50 mm (1.97
in) between the front mounting flange and inside of the
front door for appropriate cooling.
•
The rack must have a minimum depth of 166 mm (6.53
in) between the rear mounting flange and inside of the
rear door to install the server and provide cable
management space.
•
The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack
between the front and rear mounting flanges must be
467 mm (18.2 in) to accommodate the width of the
server and the slide mounting brackets.
•
The minimum side-to-side clearance in the rack
between each door and the mounting flanges must be
484 mm (19.1 in) to accommodate the slide mounting
brackets.
•
The rack must include perforated front and rear doors
and must not prevent the flow of cool air into or out
of the rack.
•
The weight-handling capacity of the rack must be able
to support the maximum rack configuration, including
all servers, external cables, power distribution units,
and so on.
•
The rack must provide proper stabilization so that the
rack does not become unstable when servers are
pulled out for service.
Processor options:
The xSeries 336 server is an Intel
Xeon processor system that supports internal processing
