IBM xSeries 306 Entry Rack Server
The IBM xSeries 306 is a single-socket rack server built around an Intel Pentium 4 processor running at 3 GHz. It ships with 512 MB of DDR SDRAM and a 36.40 GB hard drive, aimed at midsize and large enterprises deploying edge-of-network or web-serving workloads. The system supports a maximum of 4 GB memory and one processor. It includes a CD-ROM drive and an ATI Radeon 7000-M graphics controller with 16 MB video memory.
Rack Mount Build Integration
This 1U rack unit slides into a standard server cabinet and requires only a power connection and network cabling to become operational. The single-processor design leaves the second socket absent, simplifying thermal management and reducing licensing costs for per-socket software. Onboard ATI Radeon graphics with 16 MB video memory handle console output without consuming a PCI expansion slot. The CD-ROM media drive supports local software installation or recovery media.
Thermals Noise and Power Profile
A single Pentium 4 CPU at 3 GHz generates a predictable heat load that the chassis fans are engineered to dissipate within the 1U form factor. Fan speed ramps with CPU utilisation, so idle web-serving runs quieter than sustained compute tasks. The 512 MB base memory and single 36.40 GB drive keep overall power draw modest compared to dual-processor configurations. No liquid cooling or exotic airflow arrangements are required.
