The Dell EMC PowerEdge R340 is a compact server manufactured by Dell EMC designed for dense computing and edge deployment scenarios where space efficiency is paramount. The chassis measures 482 by 434 millimeters with a height of 42.8 millimeters, weighing up to 13.6 kilograms in maximum configurations. The system accommodates one processor from the Intel Xeon E-2200 or E-2100 product families, along with options for Intel Core i3, Pentium G5420, and Celeron G4930 processors. Memory is managed through four 288-pin DIMM sockets supporting DDR4 at speeds up to 2666 MT/s, delivering a maximum capacity of 64 GB using 16 GB modules, which supports memory-intensive applications and virtualization workloads.

Storage capabilities are highly adaptable, as the Dell EMC PowerEdge R340 supports eight hot-swappable 2.5-inch drives or four hot-swappable 3.5-inch drives compatible with SAS, SATA, and SSD media. Data management is enabled by controllers including the PERC H730P, H330, S140, and HBA330, with external connectivity options like the 12 Gb/s Ext SAS HBA available. The R340 provides expansion via up to two PCIe Generation 3 risers featuring low-profile half-length x8 slots and full-height half-length x16 slots for customizable add-in cards. Redundant power is ensured through dual AC power supply units offering 350 W or 550 W Platinum efficiency, minimizing downtime and energy costs in critical infrastructure.

Management and security features include iDRAC Direct access via a micro USB port and the Internal Dual SD Module for OS boot redundancy or vFlash caching, with write-protection switches on storage media. System Event Logs monitor environmental health, while the Dell EMC PowerEdge R340 supports fresh air cooling and operates reliably up to altitudes of 3048 meters, making it suitable for high-altitude data centers. Buyers seeking a cost-effective server for database hosting, virtualization, and general enterprise applications will appreciate the R340's balanced performance profile and compliance with ISO Class 8 particulate standards for long-term reliability in controlled IT environments.
