Cooling & Fans

The Dell PowerEdge T320 Tower Server has an Internal and External fan option. The External fan is optional while the internal fan is mandatory. None of the fans are hot-swappable and the external fan sits on the other side of the chassis wall from the internal fan. The air shroud will provide the direction for the air to cool off all the components. If you need more guidance with this, please view the manuals below.

Memory

Flexible memory configurations are supported on the T320, ranging from capacities of 2GB to 192GB. The system supports up to six DIMMs. The T320 has three memory channels per processor, with each channel supporting up to two DIMMs

Networking

The T320 system board has one embedded NIC controller. The Broadcom 5720 Gigabit NIC chip is connected to the platform controller hub through a PCIe 2.0 x2 link.

The Broadcom 5720 is a 14th generation 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet LAN controller solution suitable for high-performance server applications. The Broadcom 5720 combines dual triple-speed IEEE 802.3 compliant Media Access Controllers (MACs) with dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet transceivers (PHYs), selectable individually per port, a network controller sideband interface (NC-SI), and an on-chip memory buffer in a single device. The device provides a PCIe 2.1-compliant interface, which operates at 5GT/s or 2.5GT/s x2 link width.
