Chapter 1. General information
The IBM Eserver xSeries 335 server, Type 8676 and Type 8830, is a 1-U-high
rack model server for high-volume network transaction processing. This
high-performance, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server is ideally suited for
networking environments that require superior microprocessor performance,
input/output (I/O) flexibility, and high manageability.
Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key
considerations in the design of your server. These design features make it possible
for you to customize the system hardware to meet your needs today and provide
flexible expansion capabilities for the future.
