Availability and Serviceability
The x3350 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:
•
Toolless
cover removal
provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts. Similarly,
many components can be installed or replaced without tools. This means less time (and
therefore less money) spent servicing the x3350. In addition,
hot-swap/simple-swap HDDs
,
can mean greater system uptime while these components are being serviced.
•
Toolless slides
ship with the server. They allow the rack server to easily slide into place
without the need for tools.
•
Integrated RAID-1 disk mirroring
arrays
standard (hot-swap models) enable the server to
keep operating in the event of a failure to any one drive.
•
The
drop-down light path diagnostics panel
and individual light path LEDs quickly lead the
technician to failed (or failing) components. This simplifies servicing, speeds up problem
resolution and helps improve network availability.
•
IPMI 2.0
supports highly secure remote system power control using data encryption. This
allows an administrator to restart a server without having to visit it in person, saving travel time
and getting the server back up and running quickly and securely.
•
Temperature-controlled fans
adjust to compensate for changing thermal characteristics. At
the lower speeds they draw less power and suffer less wear. Equally important in a crowded
data center, temperature-controlled fans produce less ambient noise in the data center than if
they were constantly running at full speed.
•
The
three-year (parts and labor) limited onsite warranty

(model-specific) offers peace of
mind and greater potential investment protection than a one-year warranty does.
Key Features
High-Performance/Low-Power Processors
The x3350 supports one of several low-cost or high-performance processors, allowing you to
choose the processor that best fits your business needs. The x3350 offers a choice of processor
clock rates, FSB speeds and power draw:
•
95W quad-core
Xeon
processor models
X3350
or
X3360
running at
2.66
or
2.83GHz
(respectively), with 64-bit extensions, (
23.75W
per core), a
1333MHz
FSB, and
12MB
of L2
processor cache (2 x 4MB)
•
95W quad-core
Xeon
processor model
X3320
running at
2.5GHz
, with 64-bit extensions,
(
23.75W
per core), a
1333MHz
FSB, and
6MB
of L2 processor cache (2 x 4MB)
•
65W
dual-core
Xeon
processor model
E3110
running at
3.0GHz
, with 64-bit extensions,
low
power draw
(
32.5W
per core), a
1333MHz
FSB, and
6MB
of L2 processor cache
•
65W
dual-core
Xeon
processor models
3065
or
3075
running at
2.33
or
2.66GHz
(respectively), with 64-bit extensions,
low power draw
(
32.5W
per core), a
1333MHz
FSB, and
4MB
of L2 processor cache
The
dual-core
processors contain
two complete processor cores
;
quad-core
processors,
similarly, contain
four
cores. Dual-core processors contain one
unified
cache
shared
by both
cores, while quad-core processors have
independent
caches (one per pair of cores). The shared
cache is dynamically allocated between the two cores as needed. The two cores appear to
software as two physical processors. The dual-core processors offer considerably higher
performance than a same-speed Xeon processor with a single core. Likewise, quad-core
processors offer considerably higher performance than a same-speed Xeon processor with dual
cores.
Intel
Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T)
64-bit extensions allow the Xeon processor to
use large memory addressing when running with a 64-bit operating system. This in turn lets
individual software processes directly access more than 4GB of RAM, which was the limit of 32-
bit addressing. This can result in much higher performance for certain kinds of programs, such as
database management and CAD. Additional registers and instructions (SSE3) can further boost
performance for applications written to use them. Contact your software provider to determine
their software support for EM64T.
The
1333MHz
FSB (which connects memory to the processor) offers a peak rate of
10.67GBps
,
or up to
two
-
thirds
higher throughput at the same processor clock speed than an
800MHz
FSB.
