    Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

  • Page 7: Safety Precautions

    ESD protection is an increasing concern. Due to the increased density of semiconductors used in recent Dell products, the sensitivity to static damage is now higher than in previous Dell products. For this reason, some previously approved methods of handling parts are no longer applicable.

  • Page 8: Esd Field Service Kit

    It is recommended that all field service technicians use the traditional wired ESD grounding wrist strap and protective anti-static mat at all times when servicing Dell products. In addition, it is critical that technicians keep sensitive parts separate from all insulator parts while performing service and that they use anti-static bags for transporting sensitive components.

  • Page 9: Transporting Sensitive Components

    Transporting sensitive components When transporting ESD sensitive components such as replacement parts or parts to be returned to Dell, it is critical to place these parts in anti-static bags for safe transport. Lifting equipment Adhere to the following guidelines when lifting heavy weight equipment: CAUTION: Do not lift greater than 50 pounds.

    Technology and components This chapter details the technology and components available in the system. DDR4 DDR4 (double data rate fourth generation) memory is a higher-speed successor to the DDR2 and DDR3 technologies and allows up to 512 GB in capacity, compared to the DDR3's maximum of 128 GB per DIMM. DDR4 synchronous dynamic random-access memory is keyed differently from both SDRAM and DDR to prevent the user from installing the wrong type of memory into the system.

    Matrix RAID. IRST allows for creation of two RAID volumes on a single RAID array where both the volumes can be of the same or different type. NOTE: Precision 3640 Tower does not support discreet RAID option. IRST encapsulates newer level of protection with better performance, and low power consumption. IRST user interface simplifies creation and management of storage assets.
  • Page 12 3. RAID 5 (Striping with Parity): In this RAID level, data is stripped into blocks and spread across three or more storage devices. Each block contains the data and a parity for fault tolerance. In an event of a drive failure, the parity helps build the lost piece of data. To further enhance the write performance, IRST uses Volume Write-Back Cache and Coalescer.

Data updates of recovery volumes can be continuous or on request.

    With today's ever increasing demands placed on data transfers with high-definition video content, terabyte storage devices, high megapixel count digital cameras etc., USB 2.0 may not be fast enough. Furthermore, no USB 2.0 connection could ever come close to the 480Mbps theoretical maximum throughput, making data transfer at around 320 Mbps (40 MB/s) — the actual real-world maximum.
