Dell 341-1626 Technical Guide - Page 6

Table 1 summarizes the newest technologies used in the Dell PowerEdge T320 tower server. New technologies Detailed descriptions New Intel processors The new Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 product family, Intel Xeon processor E5-1410, and Intel Pentium processor 1400 product family offer new features such as embedded PCIe lanes for improved I/O performance. See the Processor section for details. Intel C600 series chipset The Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH) chip is implemented on the T320 server. 1600MT/s DDR3 memory Next generation PERC options PERC S110 software RAID Solution iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller Internal GPU support Advanced power management Fresh Air cooling Failsafe hypervisors Fan fault tolerance Certain models of the Xeon Intel processor E5-2400 product family support 1600MT/s memory. The T320 supports two DIMMs per channel at 1600MT/s with certain models. See the Memory section for details. The T320 supports the new PERC controller cards with improved functionality and faster performance. See the Storage section for details. This new software RAID solution supports RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10, and supports a maximum of four hot-plug SATA hard drives or SATA solid-state drives. See the Storage section for details. The new embedded system management solution for Dell servers features hardware and firmware inventory and alerting, in-depth memory alerting, faster performance, a dedicated gigabit port, and many more features. See the Dell OpenManage systems management section for details. The T320 supports internal graphics processing units (GPUs) for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and medical imaging. See the Processor section for details. The T320 supports advanced power monitoring and power capping tools that can help manage power consumption. See the Power, thermal, and acoustics section for details. Dell has tested and validated an integrated data center solution that enables you to operate at higher temperatures or even chiller-less. See the Power, thermal, and acoustics section for details. The internal dual SD module is a modular fail-safe design that is dedicated for an embedded ESX hypervisor or other embedded operating system. See the Supported virtualization for details. Failure of one fan rotor is tolerated with degradation in performance through active throttling and increased fan speeds. The feature helps reduce downtime by allowing you to schedule a fan replacement within 360 hours of a fan failure.
