ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT

This document contains installation and service information for the Dell PowerEdge R320 server. The

instructions and service information contained here address the server itself, and assumes that the

associated network communication equipment has been pre-installed by the Honeywell factory or has

manuals dedicated to its installation and service. This server is not a standard Dell model and you

cannot order it independently from Dell.

NOTE

If the Local Control Network (LCN) coaxial based system has been integrated with an Experion

Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) based system, the node (server) may be upgraded to be an

Experion Local Control Network (ELCN) node, which has its ELCN Interface provided via FTE.

This node may be installed as a physical or virtual platform.

If the node is upgraded to an ELCN node, and the node is a physical (a.k.a. bare-metal)

platform, a Local Control Network Processor (LCNP) board coaxial interface to LCN is not used.

The LCN MAU is disconnected, and/or the LCNP board is removed.

Redundant ELCN Bridges are required if the ELCN node is communicating with any other

existing, coaxial-based LCN node.

Some LCN nodes may have been replaced by their ELCN equivalent nodes, and overall system

features/architecture will differ from that of a non-ELCN integrated system (classic LCN/TPN

system). In this case it may be necessary to refer to appropriate ELCN documentation, in

addition to the information provided herein.

2.1 Overview

Platforms sold by Honeywell are engineered for the process control mission of Experion and TPS

systems to provide consistent and robust performance. Through an extensive qualification process,

Honeywell defines specific peripheral devices, slot locations, and BIOS settings for best performance

and reliability, sometimes even adding cooling fans for longer service. Honeywell platforms are then

built to Honeywell specifications by the computer manufacturer.

Honeywell engineering has tested theDell PowerEdge R320 serverwith other Honeywell hardware

and software and has qualified its use for specific configuration items as identified in the Software

Change Notice (SCN). The server is not a standard Dell model and cannot be ordered independently

from Dell. The Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is well trained and supports Honeywell platforms.

Use of any other server including a similar Dell model, is considered a project special and its TAC

support is limited according to the services policy.

The Honeywell-based Dell PowerEdge R320 server provides the functionality of a server-based PC

running the Microsoft Windows server operating systems.

The release of this server is based upon RAID-5 and dual power supply design to provide computer-

based functionality for TPS systems and certain Experion systems..

The Dell PowerEdge R320 servers are shipped with the following two Tab numbers.

lTab number 51155519-100: for Pre-MLK (Mid-Life Kicker) servers

lTab number 51155519-200: for MLK servers

lSoftware requirement

lBIOS configuration

2.1.1 Software requirement

The server runs on the following operating system.
