xSeries 335 Related Options

The xSeries 335 is a 3.06 GHz Intel Xeon processor system that supports internal processing speeds of up to 3.06 GHz and processing operations to memory and the PCI bus at 133 MHz. It contains an integrated, full-speed 512 KB ECC L2 cache. This system supports SMP applications through installation in the second processor slot of xSeries 335 models with like processors.

High-Performance Server Subsystems

These servers are high-throughput, two-way SMP-capable Intel Xeon-based network servers with excellent scalability when you add memory and a second processor. They incorporate powerful 3.06 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 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 133 MHz processor-to-memory subsystem performance. The xSeries 335 server 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 xSeries 335 server is an ultrathin rack platform. The most powerful 1U server of the xSeries rack-optimized offerings, it is positioned between the xSeries 305 and the xSeries 345 server. The xSeries 305 also has a 1U form factor, but supports uniprocessor Pentium 4 operations and only fixed Ultra160 SCSI or IDE HDDs. The xSeries 345 server includes more slots and drive bays; however, it requires a 2U rack space.

High-density, two-way, Xeon-based xSeries 335 and xSeries 345 servers enable customer installation of features. You can prepare for future expansion to meet changing reliability needs. At the same time, the server 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 8676 is intended to be part of the IBM eServer 1350 cluster.

  • 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 RDIMM option in each of the four memory DIMM sockets.

  • 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 332-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)
    • One 5.25-inch, half-high bay with CD-ROM
    • One 3.5-inch slim-high diskette drive bay.

      Note: 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:

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

  • Second socket for SMP Xeon

  • 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 332-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

  • The 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. The xSeries 335 server supports 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB PC2100 CL2.5 ECC DDR SDRAM DIMM. All supported DIMMs can coexist in the same system. Memory must be populated in pairs.

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

  • Use the version of ServerGuide that is shipped 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.
