Overview

2.1
•
New Intel 1 Socket platform: Intel Xeon processor 3400 series with Intel 3420 chipset
•
SSD advantage (support SSD drives)
•
Self-Encrypting Drives (SED)
•
Software RAID PERC S100 & PERC S300
•
6Gb/s SAS HBA
•
PERC7 support including: PERC H200, H700, H800
•
Next generation Dell embedded server management
o iDRAC express with Lifecycle Controller and Unified Server Configurator
o Optional iDRAC enterprise—Optional vFlash
•
DDR3 memory technology which replaces fully buffered DIMMs in the new Intel architecture (Native
DDR3 memory capability improves memory access speed, lowers latency and allows more memory
capacity (up to 6 DIMMs per 1 socket platform).)
