Description

Powered and Scaled for e-business Growth

The xSeries 345 server applies powerful processors, large amounts of memory, and high-bandwidth PCI/PCI-X buses to Web-farm applications.

  • 533 MHz front-side bus (FSB) processors (quad-pumped 133 MHz) enabling 4.3 GB/s data transfer rates.

  • Two 256 MB high-speed PC2100 double data rate (DDR) ECC SDRAM RDIMMs, two-way interleaved, 133 MHz double data rate memory interface(7)

  • High-speed, wide-bandwidth, PCI/PCI-X bus slots:
    • Two 64-bit/133 MHz PCI-X full-length card slots
    • Two 64-bit/100 MHz PCI-X low-profile full-length card slots
    • One 32-bit/33 MHz PCI half-length card slot

  • High-performance integrated controllers:
    • Dual Gigabit Ethernet
    • Dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI (320 MB/s)

Note: (7) PC2100 DDR SDRAM is an extension of the PC133 and PC100 memory. PC2100 DDR memory stands for Double Data Rate and effectively means you get 2X data in the same clock cycle. Data transfer is at 266MHz.

High Availability for Around-the-Clock e-business

High-availability, manageability, and serviceability features help you diagnose problems quickly, even from remote locations.

  • Light Path Diagnostics, Wake on LAN, and PXE Support

  • Support for virtual floppy enabling user to easily direct a remote host to boot and use standard instructions stored anywhere on the network

High-Performance Server Subsystems

The xSeries 345 server expands the xSeries server line by adding a higher level of processor power.

This high-throughput, two-way, SMP-capable network server offers excellent performance and scalability when you add memory and a second processor. It incorporates powerful Xeon processors with 512 KB L2 cache. The advanced transfer L2 cache is integrated onto the processor core and runs at the same clock speed as the processor core. The advanced transfer cache is a result of a "backside bus" that is 256 bits wide. It features a quad-wide cache line that can transfer four 64-bit cache line segments at one time to deliver full-speed capability. The cache is eight-way set associative.

Two Intel Xeon** processor connectors are standard on the system board to support installation of a second processor. High-speed 133 MHz SDRAM is optimized for 133 MHz processor-to-memory subsystem performance. The xSeries 345 server uses the ServerWorks CMIC-LE chipset with Chipkill technology to maximize throughput from processors to memory, and to the 32-and 64-bit PCI buses.

TOC Link Hardware Requirements TOC Link Software Requirements

The xSeries 345 systems are enterprise LAN servers using industry-standard architectures. They contain a 32-bit and 64-bit PCI bus architectures:

  • A 32-bit PCI bus supports data transfer rates of up to 132 MB/s and runs at 33 MHz clock speeds.

  • A 64-bit PCI-X bus supports data transfer rates of up to 1064 MB/s at 133 MHz clock speed and 800 MB/s at 100 MHz clock speed.

These rack-optimized platforms contain a 2.67 GHz(1), or a 2.8 GHz Intel** Xeon** processor running with 533 MHz front-side-bus with Hyper-Threading and simultaneous multi-threaded (SMT) technologies that allow for more efficient program execution in two-way SMP applications, and advanced transfer (full speed) 512 KB L2 cache.

Additional standard features include 512 MB of PC2100 DDR ECC SDRAM system memory, dual integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and integrated dual-channel, Ultra320 SCSI controllers, a systems management processor, an SVGA video controller with 8 MB of video memory, 24x-10x IDE CD-ROM, and 1.44 MB diskette drive.

Note: (1) The Xeon** GHz speed is the internal processor speed. External processor operations to system memory run at 133 MHz.

  • The xSeries 345 can be upgraded to SMP by adding a second processor of the same type, speed, and cache size.

  • System memory can be expanded to 8 GB by installing a 2 GB PC2100 DDR CL2.5 ECC SDRAM RDIMM options in each of the four memory DIMM sockets.

    Note: 2GB DIMM is only supported with use of 350 Watt Hot-swap Power Supply Upgrade (59P4057).

  • These models contain six hot-swap bays and are shipped without HDDs to allow customers or remarketers to configure the server to meet various storage requirements depending upon the application.

The xSeries 345 provides six storage expansion bays and five expansion slots. It supports up to two hot-swap power supplies. A single 350-watt hot-swap power supply with auto restart capability is standard. By adding optionally available xSeries 350 W Hot-Swap Power Supply Upgrade, n+n redundancy can be obtained.

  • The eight bays consist of six, 3.5-inch slim-high, hot-swap drive bays, a 5.25-inch, slim-high bay with CD-ROM, one 3.5-inch slim-high drive bay for 1.44 MB floppy drive.

  • xSeries 345 contains five, wide-bandwidth, PCI/PCI-X expansion slots:
