Feature Description
generations of this technology, from software to clocking architecture to mechanical interfaces.
AHCI The SATA controller provides hardware support for Advanced
Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a standardized programming interface for SATA host controllers developed through a joint industry eort. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as port independent DMA Engines —each device is treated as a master—and hardware-assisted native command queuing.
AHCI denes transactions between the SATA controller and software and enables advanced performance and usability with SATA. Platforms supporting AHCI may take advantage of performance features such as no master/slave designation for SATA devices—each device is treated as a master— and hardware assisted native command queuing. AHCI also provides usability enhancements such as hot-plug and advanced power management. AHCI requires appropriate software support (such as, an AHCI driver) and for some features, hardware support in the SATA device or additional platform hardware. Visit the Intel web site for current information on the AHCI specication.
Low Pin Count Interface (LPC) The Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface Specication for legacy I/O
has facilitated the industry's transition toward ISA-less systems. The key enhancements to the 1.1 revision of the LPC Interface Specication is the inclusion of Firmware Memory cycles and addition of multibyte read capability.
The LPC Interface allows the legacy I/O motherboard components, typically integrated in a Super I/O chip, to migrate from the ISA/X-bus to the LPC Interface, while retaining full software compatibility. The LPC Specication oers several key advantages over ISA/X-bus, such as reduced pin count for easier, more cost-eective design. The LPC Interface Specication is software transparent for I/O functions and compatible with existing peripheral devices and applications.
The LPC Interface Specication describes memory, I/O and DMA transactions. Unlike ISA, which runs at 8MHz, it will use the PCI 33MHz clock and will be compatible with more advanced silicon processes. Mobile designers will also benet from the reduced pin count because it uses less space and power and is more thermal ecient.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) The interface implements 3 Chip Select signals (CS#), allowing
up to two ash devices and one TPM device to be connected to the PCH. The CS0# and CS1# are used for ash devices and CS2# is dedicated to TPM.
Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) The chipset contains a Motorola MC146818B-compatible real-
time clock with 256 bytes of battery-backed RAM. The Real­Time Clock (RTC) performs two key functions—keeping track of the time of day and storing system data, even when the system is powered down. The RTC operates on a 32.768-KHz crystal and a 3V battery.
GPIO GPIO Serial Expander (GSX) is the capability provided by the
chipset to expand the GPIOs on a platform that needs more
15
Feature Description
GPIOs than the ones provided by the PCH. The solution requires external shift register discrete components
System Management Bus (SMBus 2.0) The chipset provides a System Management Bus (SMBus) 2.0
host controller as well as an SMBus Slave Interface. The chipset is also capable of operating in a mode in which it can communicate with I2C compatible devices. The host SMBus controller supports up to 100-KHz clock speed.
JTAG Boundary-Scan This section contains information regarding the chipset
testability signals that provides access to JTAG, run control, system control, and observation resources. PCH JTAG (TAP) ports are compatible with the IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary Scan Architecture 1149.1 and 1149.6 Specication, as detailed per device in each BSDL le. JTAG Pin denitions are from IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan.

Memory

The Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) supports DDR4/-RS protocols with two independent, 64-bit wide channels. The maximum system population at launch will be 64GB (4 DIMM slots x16 GB DDR4 U-DIMM).

Supported memory

DDR4 DIMM types include Un-buered DIMMs (UDIMM ECC). Operational memory speeds of 2666MT/s, 2400MT/s, and 2133MT/s are supported but depends on DIMM capability. Standard DIMM voltage of 1.2v which supports speeds up to 2666MT/s at launch.
System is capable to support up to two DR or SR DIMMs per channel.
With UDIMM ECC, there is no buering so each DRAM chip is 1 load, with a dual rank x2 UDIMM having 64 loads on address and command signals and 8 loads on the data signals.
The following table list the supported memory DIMMs for the PowerEdge R340:

Power, thermal, and acoustics

Power supply units

The PowerEdge R340 power supply subsystem consists of one or two AC power supplies (1+1 redundant conguration only supports a 51.3mm PSU). The power supply provides +12V and +12Vaux for non-redundant and redundant design. There are several voltage regulators in the system to supply dierent voltage levels needed by dierent logic devices. The redundant power supplies are managed through a PMBus interface.
The following table shows the power eciency of the power supply units:

The thermal design of the PowerEdge R340 reects the following:
Feature
Optimized thermal design
Description
The system layout is architected for optimum thermal design i.e. system component placement and layout are designed to provide maximum airow coverage to critical components with minimum expense of fan power.
Custom heat sink designs for CPU, chipset for optimum component cooling.
High line 100-240V
350 W NA 4.8 A-2.4 A
550 W NA 3.7 A-7.4 A
Low line 100-120V
Comprehensive thermal management
22
The power required to cool a server can contribute a signicant amount to the overall system power. Thermal control is the active management of system cooling through fan speed and system power management to make sure that the system is reliable while minimizing system fan power consumption, airow, and system acoustic output.
Feature Description
The PowerEdge R340 thermal control system regulates the fan speed based on several dierent responses from critical components' temperature sensors as well as inventory for system congurations.
Open and Closed loop fan speed control:
– Open loop control uses system conguration
information to determine fan speed based on system inlet temperature.
– Closed loop control method uses component
temperature feedback from various sub-systems to dynamically determine optimum fan speeds.
– User congurable settings:
With the understanding and realization that every
iDRAC Web interface, RACADM, or the iDRAC
customer has unique set of circumstances or expectations from the system, you can adjust the thermal control settings and optimize against the system performance and performance-per-Watt requirements.
Settings Utility can be used for setting custom thermal settings. The settings are persistent, which means that once they are set and applied, they do not automatically change to the default setting during system reboot, power cycling, iDRAC, or BIOS updates. For more info on specics of the user interfaces, please refer to the iDRAC User Guide.

Acoustics

The PowerEdge R340 is a rack-mount server appropriate for attended data center environment. However, lower acoustical output is attainable with proper hardware or software congurations. For example, the minimum conguration of R340 is quiet enough for typical oce environment. The list below are the R340's acoustical dependencies:
Ambient Temperature: For a similar workload fan speeds (and thus, acoustical noise) may increase as ambient temperature increases.
High Wattage CPU: High-power (TDP) CPU parts may result in higher acoustical noise output.
Rear Drives: When rear drives are installed in R340, fan speed may increase for cooling the drives, and hence both idle and operating acoustical outputs may be higher.
System Thermal Prole Selected in BIOS: The default setting is “Power Optimized (DAPC)”, which generally means lower fan speed and acoustics. If “Performance Optimized” is selected, fan speed and acoustical noise may increase.
R340 acoustical performance is characterized for two congurations: Typical and Feature Rich. The following tables summarizes the conguration and acoustical performance of the R340. Each conguration has been tested according to Dell EMC acoustical standards for rack mounted servers

Agent-free management

As Dell EMC PowerEdge servers have embedded server lifecycle management, in many cases, there is no need to install an OpenManage systems management software agent into the operating system of a Dell EMC PowerEdge server. This greatly simplies and streamlines the management footprint.

Agent-based management

Most systems management solutions require pieces of software, called agents, to be installed on each node in order to be managed within the IT environment. Additionally, the same agent is often used as a local interface into the hardware health and may be accessed remotely as a management interface, typically referred to as a one-to-one interface. For customers that continue to use agent-based solutions, Dell EMC provides OpenManage Server Administrator.

Dell EMC consoles

The central console in a systems management solution is often referred to as the one-to-many console. The central console provides a rapid view and insight into the overall health of all systems in the IT environment. The Dell EMC systems management portfolio includes several powerful consoles, depending upon your needs, including the following:
Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials
