2.1 Overview
Platforms sold by Honeywell are engineered for the process control mission of Experion and TPS
systems to provide consistent and robust performance. Through an extensive qualification process,
Honeywell defines specific peripheral devices, slot locations, and BIOS settings for best performance
and reliability, sometimes even adding cooling fans for longer service. Honeywell platforms are then
built to Honeywell specifications by the computer manufacturer.
Honeywell engineering has tested theDell PowerEdge R320 serverwith other Honeywell hardware
and software and has qualified its use for specific configuration items as identified in the Software
Change Notice (SCN). The server is not a standard Dell model and cannot be ordered independently
from Dell. The Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is well trained and supports Honeywell platforms.
Use of any other server including a similar Dell model, is considered a project special and its TAC
support is limited according to the services policy.
The Honeywell-based Dell PowerEdge R320 server provides the functionality of a server-based PC
running the Microsoft Windows server operating systems.
The release of this server is based upon RAID-5 and dual power supply design to provide computer-
based functionality for TPS systems and certain Experion systems..
The Dell PowerEdge R320 servers are shipped with the following two Tab numbers.
l Tab number 51155519-100: for Pre-MLK (Mid-Life Kicker) servers
l Tab number 51155519-200: for MLK servers
