Abstract

The IBM 8670 xSeries 345 servers bring powerful, two-way, SMP-capable Intel** Xeon** processing, PCI-X architecture, Ultra320 SCSI technology, and high-availability and manageability features to rack-optimized server applications. This server is available with a 3.06 GHz/533 MHz(1) Xeon processors with Hyper-Threading and simultaneous multi-threaded (SMT) technologies(2) for more efficient program execution.

Note: (1) GHz and MHz denote the internal and/or external clock speed of the microprocessor only, not application performance. Many factors affect application performance.

Note: (2) A single physical processor's resources look like two logical processors to the OS and other applications allowing different tasks to execute simultaneously. This provides a performance boost on multitasking operations.

xSeries 345 Description
IBM xSeries Hot-Swap Redundant Power Supply Option:
The xSeries 514 Watt Hot-swap Redundant power supply is designed to support the x345 3.06 GHz/533 MHz system. The power supply is an auto-sensing between high- and low-power voltage range. The power supply option is 74P4965.
High-Performance Server Subsystems
The xSeries 345 server expands the xSeries server line by adding a high 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. 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.

Systems Management
xSeries 345 servers feature IBM Director, a powerful, highly integrated systems management software solution built on industry standards and designed for ease of use. Now you can exploit your existing enterprise or workgroup management environments and use the Internet to securely access and manage physically dispersed IT assets more efficiently. It can help reduce costs through:

Reduced down time
Increased productivity of IT personnel and end users
Reduced service and support costs

IBM Director provides integration into leading workgroup and enterprise systems management environments via upward integration modules. This integration enables the advanced management capabilities built into xSeries servers to be accessed from:

Tivoli Enterprise and Tivoli Netview
Computer Associates Unicenter TNG Framework
NetIQ - BMC Patrol
Microsoft SMS
Intel LANDesk Management Suite

IT administrators can view the hardware configuration of remote systems in detail and monitor the usage and performance of critical components such as processors, HDDs, and memory.
IBM Director includes self-management features and a portfolio of proactive predictive tools that enable advanced xSeries server management resulting in higher server availability and reliability.
Its industry standard foundation enables heterogeneous hardware support. It works with the integrated systems-management processor to access environmental system information.
The integrated systems management processor monitors and controls operating status for critical errors:

ASR monitors the operating system status and automatically restarts the server if the operating system(7) fails to respond. An alert is generated if the system has been restarted through ASR.
Fan monitoring and control manages fan speed and automatically increases to maintain system cooling if temperature thresholds are exceeded. An alert is generated if a fan:

Fails, or failure is predicted (with Remote Supervisor Adapter Card installed)
Is installed or removed

Power supply monitoring monitors the status of the power supply.
Temperature monitoring provides CPU and HDD backplane temperatures. An alert is generated if (preset) temperature warning thresholds are exceeded or restored and if critical temperature thresholds are exceeded. Soft and hard system shutdowns are automatically initiated if critical temperature thresholds are exceeded.
Voltage monitoring provides CPU and power subsystem voltage thresholds. An alert is generated if abnormal voltages are detected.
Power on/off, reset sequencing are supported through system monitoring.
Text console redirect features keyboard and mouse control.
LED controls (Light Path support); Light Path Diagnostics LEDs are illuminated in case of key component errors or failures to enable quick local diagnostics and servicing.
Flash update enables updates to the integrated systems management processor firmware.

The integrated systems management processor supports upgrading to Remote Supervisor Adapter for full out-of-band and in-band remote management. For detailed information about this option, refer to Hardware Announcement 100-305, dated October 3, 2000.
Note: (7) Currently supported with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.

Remote Supervisor Adapter features:

Easy-to-use, Web-based management from standard Web browsers
Multimode alerting including e-mail with log, paper, SNMP, and LAN
Graphical console redirection; keyboard and mouse control
Remote management independent of the server status
Support for virtual floppy enabling user to easily direct a remote host to boot and use standard instructions stored anywhere on the network

Technical Description

TOC Link Physical Specifications Operating Environment Limitations
Hardware Requirements 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.

This rack-optimized platform contains a 3.06 GHz(1), 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.
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 514-watt hot-swap power supply with auto restart capability is standard. By adding optionally available xSeries 514 W Hot-Swap Power Supply Upgrade, n+n redundancy can be obtained.
