generations of this technology, from software to clocking
architecture to mechanical interfaces.
AHCIThe SATA controller provides hardware support for Advanced
Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a standardized programming
interface for SATA host controllers developed through a joint
industry eort. 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 denes 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 specication.
has facilitated the industry's transition toward ISA-less systems.
The key enhancements to the 1.1 revision of the LPC Interface
Specication 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 Specicationoers several key
advantages over ISA/X-bus, such as reduced pin count for
easier, more cost-eective design. The LPC Interface
Specication is software transparent for I/O functions and
compatible with existing peripheral devices and applications.
The LPC Interface Specication 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 benet
from the reduced pin count because it uses less space and
power and is more thermal ecient.
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.
GPIOGPIO Serial Expander (GSX) is the capability provided by the
chipset to expand the GPIOs on a platform that needs more

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-ScanThis 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

Memory speed
The system will run all memory on all CPUs and channels at the same speed and voltage. By default the system will run at the
highest speed for the lowest voltage of the worst case channel DIMM conguration. Operating speed of the memory is determined
by:
•Supported speed of the DIMMs
•DIMM conguration on any channel
•Max speed supported by the CPU
•Speed requested by user in BIOS setup screen
•Operating voltage of the system. Determined by:
– Voltages supported by the DIMMs.
– Voltages supported by the platform (R340 does not support 1.25V)
– Voltage requested by user in BIOS setup screen.

The PowerEdge R340 thermal control system regulates the
fan speed based on several dierent responses from critical
components' temperature sensors as well as inventory for
system congurations.
•Open and Closed loop fan speed control:
– Open loop control uses system conguration
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 congurable 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
specics 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 congurations. For example, the minimum conguration of R340 is quiet enough for
typical oce 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 Prole 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 congurations: Typical and Feature Rich. The following tables summarizes the conguration and acoustical performance of the R340. Each conguration has been tested according to Dell EMC acoustical

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
simplies 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:
