Product overview
Introduction
The PowerEdge R340 rack system consists of the Intel® Xeon® E-2200 processor family used in conjunction with the Intel® C246 series
chipset Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The PowerEdge R340 rack system is a two‐chip platform (enabled by the chipset) when
compared to the traditional three‐chip platforms (Processor, Memory controller, and I/O controller). It also includes an integrated memory
controller (IMC) and integrated I/O (IIO) (such as PCI Express and DMI3) on a single silicon die.
New technologies
The PowerEdge R340 is the ideal entry-level server for data centers & SMB to address small scale enterprise applications designed for
productivity and data intensive applications for remote office/branch offices requiring maximum uptime. The PowerEdge R340 provides a
choice of either 8x2.5” or 4x3.5” hot-plug drive configurations for added storage flexibility. 100% increase in core count significantly
improves performance while a quiet, short-depth form factor is optimized for constrained spaces. R340 is perfect for web hosting,
backup/recovery, file/print, mail/messaging, and collaboration/sharing.
The following table shows the list of new technologies offered by the PowerEdge R340:

Locating the information tag of your system
You can identify your system using the unique Express Service Code and Service Tag. Pull out the information tag in front of the system
to view the Express Service Code and Service Tag. Alternatively, the information may be on a sticker on the back of the system chassis.
The mini Enterprise Service Tag (EST) is found on the back of the system chassis. This information is used by Dell to route support calls to
the appropriate personnel.
