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
