Product overview
Introduction
The PowerEdge R340 rack system consists of the Coee Lake-S processor used in conjunction with the Cannon Lake-H PCH
(C246) Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The PowerEdge R340 rack system is a two‐chip platform (enabled by the chipset) when
compared to the traditional three‐chip platforms (Processor, Memory controller, and I/O controller). It also includes an integrated
memory controller (IMC) and integrated I/O (IIO) (such as PCI Express and DMI3) on a single silicon die.
New technologies
The PowerEdge R340 is the ideal entry-level server for data centers & SMB to address small scale enterprise applications designed
for productivity and data intensive applications for remote oce/branch oces requiring maximum uptime. The PowerEdge R340
provides a choice of either 8x2.5” or 4x3.5” hot-plug drive congurations for added storage exibility. 50% increase in core count
signicantly improves performance while a quiet, short-depth form factor is optimized for constrained spaces. R340 is perfect for
web hosting, backup/recovery, le/print, mail/messaging, and collaboration/sharing.
