Your Altix XE340 server uses a single high-efficiency 1200W cold-swap power supply, which
provides the power to both serverboards housed in the unit.
The Altix XE340 chassis was designed to support up to four SATA or SAS hard disk drives, which
can be optionally configured as hot-swappable units.
Note that the standard XE340 only supports SATA disk drives. However by adding a SAS HBA
the XE340 will support SAS disk drives. The SAS HBA will also support RAID 0 and 1 on both
SAS and SATA disk drives. One HBA is added to each node of the XE340 server.
The Altix XE340 features two independent control panels associated with each node
(serverboard). Each control panel has LEDs to indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive
