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.

Planning information

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
speeds of up to 3.6 GHz and processing operations to
memory and the PCI bus at 133 MHz.

It contains an

integrated, full-speed 1 MB ECC L2 cache. This system
supports SMP applications through installation in the
second processor slot of xSeries 336 models with like
processors.

Supported processor options:

The following processor

options are supported:

2.8 GHz 800 MHz 2MB L2 Cache Xeon Processor
(40K2509)

3.0 GHz 800 MHz 2MB L2 Cache Xeon Processor
(40K2510)

3.2 GHz 800 MHz 2MB L2 Cache Xeon Processor
(40K2511)

3.4 GHz 800 MHz 2MB L2 Cache Xeon Processor
(40K2512)

3.6 GHz 800 MHz 2MB L2 Cache Xeon Processor
(40K2513)

3.8 GHz 800 MHz 2MB L2 Cache Xeon Processor
(40K2514)

Dual Core Intel Xeon Processor 2.8 GHz (40K2501)

Supported memory options:

The following memory

options are supported:

512 MB (1 x 512 MB) PC2-3200 CL3 ECC DDR2 SDRAM
RDIMM Non-Chipkill

 (39M5858)

1 GB (2 x 512 MB Kit) PC2-3200 CL3 ECC DDR2 SDRAM
RDIMM Non-Chipkill (39M5818)

1 GB (2 x 512 MB Kit) PC2-3200 CL3 ECC DDR2 SDRAM
RDIMM (39M5821)
