Introduction

Dell® PowerEdg^ 4350 computer systems are high-speed servers that offer signifi­

cant service and upgrade features.

The Dell PowerEdge 4350 systems include the following service features to make
troubleshooting easy and effective:

The Dell Diagnostics program that checks for hardware problems (if the system

can boot)

Embedded server management hardware that monitors temperatures and volt­

ages throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats or if a
system cooling fan malfunctions

The Dell PowerEdge 4350 system chassis simplifies removing and replacing com­

puter components. The two panel doors on top of the chassis allow easy access to

the system board for performing processor and memory upgrades. The Dell-designed
small computer system interface (SCSI) backplane board and hard-disk drive carriers

eliminate the extensive cabling and drive configuration usually required for a SCSI

subsystem. The drive rails attached to the CD-ROM drive allow you to remove the
device without removing a single screw.

Many upgrade options are offered for the Dell PowerEdge 4350 systems, including

the following items:

An additional microprocessor

Additional memory

A variety of expansion-card options (including redundant arravs of independent

disks [RAID] controller host adapter cards)

Additional hard-disk drives

A Dell Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) for system management

Redundant power supplies
