Server features
The xSeries 340 is designed to be cost-effective, powerful, and flexible. Your server
offers:
• Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP
Your server supports up to two Intel Pentium III microprocessors. Your server
comes with one microprocessor installed; you can install an additional
microprocessor to enhance performance and provide SMP capability.
• Large data-storage and hot-swap capabilities
All models of the server support up to three hot-swap hard disk drives. This hot-
swap feature enables you to remove and replace hard disk drives without turning
off the server. A 3-Pack hard-disk drive option is available to add an additional
three drive bays.
• Optional PCI adapters
Your server uses peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus architecture to
provide compatibility with a wide range of existing hardware devices and
software applications. Your server supports up to five PCI adapters in the
expansion slots on the system board.
• Redundant cooling capability
The redundant cooling capability of the hot-swap fans in your server allow
continued operation if one of the fans fails. You can also replace a failing hot-swap
fan without turning off the server.
• Optional redundant power capability
You can install an additional 270-watt power supply in your server to provide
redundant power for your server. The Power Non-Redundant light emitting
diode (LED) in the group of diagnostic LEDs on the system board is lit when the
power load is 270 watts or greater with two power supplies installed.
• Large system memory
The memory bus in your server supports up to 4 GB of system memory. The
memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for up to four
industry standard PC133, 3.3 V, 168-pin, 8-byte, registered, synchronous-
dynamic-random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) (Intel PC-Registered SDIMM Specifications, Revision 1.0 or later).
• System-management capabilities
Your server comes with an Advanced System Management Processor on the
system board. This processor, in conjunction with the Netfinity Manager™
software provided on your ServerGuide CDs, allows you to manage the functions
of the server locally and remotely. The Advanced System Management Processor
also provides system monitoring, event recording, and dial-out alert capability.
Note: The Advanced System Management Processor is sometimes referred to as
the service processor.
• Integrated network environment support
Your server comes with an Ethernet controller on the system board. This Ethernet
controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks. The
server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. The controller
provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which allows simultaneous transmission
and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN).
• Redundant network-interface card
The addition of an optional, redundant network interface card (NIC) provides a
failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with
