xSeries 335 Description

High-Performance Server Subsystems

These servers are high-throughput, two-way SMP-capable Intel Xeon-mored network servers with excellent scalability when adding memory and a second processor. They incorporate powerful 2.0 or 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon processors with 512 KB advanced transfer L2 cache. These flip-chip, pin grid array 2 (FC-PGA2) processors feature advanced transfer L2 caches that are integrated onto the processor core and run 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 connectors are standard on the system board to support installation of a second processor. High-speed, 266 MHz DDR SDRAM is optimized for 100 MHz processor-to-memory subsystem performance. The xSeries 335 uses the ServerWorks Grand Champion LE (GCLE) chipset to maximize throughput from processors to memory, and to a primary 32-bit and secondary 64-bit PCI buses. The two expansion slots are supported through the secondary 64-bit bus.

Product Positioning

The IBM eServer xSeries 335 server is an ultra-thin, rack platform. The highest functioned 1 U server of the xSeries rack-optimized offerings, it is positioned between the xSeries 305 and the xSeries 345. The xSeries 305 also has a 1 U form factor, but supports uniprocessor Pentium 4 operations and only fixed Ultra160 SCSI or IDE HDDs. The xSeries 345 provide more slots and drive bays; however it requires a 2 U rack space.

These high-density, two-way, Xeon-based servers (xSeries 335 and xSeries 345) are designed for customer installation of features to handle future expansion to meet changing reliability needs. At the same time, they can handle emerging applications requiring maximum computing power and function in a small amount of rack space. These applications include:

  • Web caching
  • Dynamic Web serving
  • Firewall
  • Telecommunications
  • Active directory services
  • Scientific and technical computing
  • Linux clustering

These powerful servers also meet traditional enterprise network server requirements, but with an added benefit of requiring less space.

The xSeries 335 systems are enterprise LAN servers using industry-standard architectures. They contain 64-bit PCI-X bus architecture:

  • A 64-bit PCI bus supports data transfer rates of up to 264 MB/s and runs at 100 MHz clock speeds.

These rack platforms contain a 2.0 or 2.4 GHz(1) Xeon processor with an integrated 512 KB ECC advanced transfer (full-speed) L2 cache and 512 MB standard system memory.

Additional standard features include integrated EIDE and on SCSI models an Ultra320 SCSI controller, an integrated system management processor, an ATI Rage XL video controller with 8 MB of video memory, two integrated 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers, 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 400 MHz.

  • The xSeries 335 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(2) RDIMM option in each of the four memory DIMM sockets.

    Note: (2) If/when 2 GB PC2100 CL2.5 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM becomes available

  • SCSI models contain two hot-swap bays (hot-swap models) or two standard HDD bays (models with HDDs) for flexibility of configuration or convenience of pre-installed HDDs.

The xSeries 335 contains four drive bays and two expansion slots. A single 331-watt power supply with auto restart capability is standard.

  • Four drive bays consist of two 3.5-inch slim-high, hot-swap or standard drive bays (model dependent), a 5.25-inch, half-high bay with CD-ROM, one 3.5-inch slim-high diskette drive bay. All bays allow access to removable media devices.

  • xSeries 335 contains two 64-bit, 100 MHz PCI-X expansion slots:
    • One full-length slot
    • One half-length slot

The xSeries 335 standard features include:

  • 400 MHz front-side bus Xeon processor with integrated 512 KB ECC advanced transfer L2 cache

  • Second socket for SMP Xeon

  • Memory subsystem consists of PC2100 CL2.5 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM with an ECC memory controller on the processor card for error correction of single-bit memory errors

  • An integrated system board diskette controller

  • An ATI Rage XL controller with 8 MB video memory

  • An integrated system management processor

  • 64-bit, single-channel, Ultra320 SCSI PCI controller

  • Two 32-bit, 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet controllers

  • One 1.44 MB 3.5-inch diskette drive

  • A 24x-10x IDE CD-ROM drive

  • One 331-watt, voltage-sensing, worldwide power supply

  • Time Of Day clock and battery

  • Standard Device Ports/Connectors:

    • Two Gigabit Ethernet ports using RJ-45 connector

    • Two serial/asynchronous ports, (one NS16550A compatible) one for the integrated system management processor

    • Three USB ports (two front, one rear)

Note: The xSeries Cable Chaining Technology Cable Kit supports attachment of keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the last xSeries 335.

xSeries 335 servers are intended for use as rack-drawer servers and are tested and designed to operate in a horizontal position.

Standards

These systems support or comply with the following standards:

  • Multi Processor Specification (MPS) 1.4

  • Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) specification 2.2

  • Hardware-enabled to meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9241, Part 3

Equipment Approvals and Safety

  • FCC - Verified to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, Class A
  • Canada ICES-003, issue 3, Class A
  • UL 1950(1)
  • CSA C22.2 No. 950
  • NOM-018(1)

Note: (1) These servers are certified by the respective UL and NOM agencies.

Operating Environment

  • Temperature:
    • 10.0 to 35.0 degrees C (50 to 95 degrees F) at 0 to 914 m (0 to 3,000 ft)
    • 10.0 to 32.0 degrees C (50 to 90 degrees F) at 914 to 2,133 m (3,000 to 7,000 ft)

  • Relative humidity: 8% to 80%

  • Maximum altitude: 2,133 m (7,000 ft)

Limitations

  • xSeries 335 server contains a single, configurable serial port. It can be configured to be operating-system controlled, service-processor controlled, or shared between the two. You can set the configuration by changing the header location to which the internal serial cable is plugged. The default location from the factory is in the shared position. In the shared position, the service processor controls the port until the operating system is running, then the operating system takes control. The service processor can regain control of the port for user configured dial-out situations or if the operating system is not available, but operating system control cannot be reestablished without resetting the server.

  • The xSeries 335 servers can address a maximum of 8 GB of system memory All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access (DMA). The xSeries 335 server supports 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB PC2100 CL2.5 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM. It will support 2 GB PC2100 CL2.5 ECC DDR SDRAM RDIMM, if/when it becomes available. All supported DIMMs can co-exist in the same system. Memory must be populated in pairs.

  • To ensure proper air flow for cooling, the xSeries 335 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.

  • Chaining xSeries 335 servers is supported through a console. Chaining through a console switch is not currently supported.

  • Customers should use the version of ServerGuide that ships with the system, or a later version, to load software and drivers. Earlier versions of ServerGuide may not be compatible with the server.

Refer to the Software Requirements section for operating system limitations.

Hardware Requirements

For attended installation of an operating system, this server requires a compatible:

  • Keyboard
  • Mouse
  • HDD
  • Display

Unattended or remote installation may be performed without requiring some or all of these components. Review your unattended software installation program information for specific hardware configuration requirements.

For service, the server requires a compatible:

  • Keyboard
  • Mouse
  • HDD
  • Display

When having the unit serviced you should plan to have these components attached to your server either directly or indirectly via a console.
