They are positioned as the entry 1 U servers of the xSeries rack-optimized product line. The xSeries 306 offerings are positioned beneath the xSeries 335 server. The xSeries 335 server is also contained in a 1 U high form factor, but has higher amounts of performance capacity with SMP capability, scalability, and systems-management functions that may not be required in all applications. The xSeries 306 server is a cost-effective solution for these applications. These uniprocessor Pentium 4-based servers are designed for installation of features to handle future expansion. At the same time they can handle emerging applications that require high-performance, uniprocessor computing power, and excellent function in the least amount of rack space. These applications include: Web caching Front-end Web serving Server farms Telecommunications Active Directory services These powerful servers meet traditional enterprise network server requirements, with the added benefit of requiring less space.

All measurements made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in conformance with ISO 9296. xSeries 306 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: 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* 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) (Server on) 0.0 to 60.0 degrees C (-32 to 140 degrees F) (Server off) Relative humidity: 8% to 80% Maximum altitude: 2,133 m (7,000 ft) ________________________________________ | CPU | 1 Pentium 4 | | PSU | 1 standard | | HDD | 1 x 36.4 GB, 10,000 rpm | | FDD | 1 standard | | CD-ROM | 1 standard | | RAM Memory | 4 x 1 GB DIMMs | |____________|___________________________| Limitations The xSeries 306 servers support a maximum of 4 GB of system memory when you remove the original DIMMs and add a 1GB PC2700 CL2.5 ECC DDR UDIMM in each of the four DIMM slots. All supported system memory is addressable through DMA. These servers support 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB 333 MHz 72-bit DDR PC2700 ECC SDRAM registered DIMMs or PC3200 CL3 ECC DDR DDR UDIMM memory. All supported DIMMs can coexist in the same system but will operate at the speed of the slowest memory installed. Refer to the IBM compatibility Web page for supported memory options. To ensure proper air flow for cooling, the xSeries 306 server requires a rack with a perforated door. Processor upgrades are not supported. Use the version of ServerGuide 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. Hardware Requirements For attended installation of an operating system, this server requires a compatible: Keyboard Mouse HDD Display (E51, T540, or equivalent) 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 (E51, T540, or equivalent) When having the unit serviced, plan to have these components attached to your server either directly or indirectly via a console switch. Software Requirements Programming requirements The following network operating systems are supported in the xSeries 306 server: Microsoft: Windows 2000 Server Windows 2000 Advanced Server Windows 2003 Web Edition Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Windows 2003 Standard Edition Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 3 Advanced Server(1) SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 8(1) Note: (1) Certification is planned for these network operating systems.
