About the R350
The Dell PowerEdge R350 is an enterprise 1U rack server engineered for computing and virtualization workloads. Powered by 1 Intel Xeon E-2300 Series or Intel Pentium Processors (up to 8 cores, 95W TDP) across 4 memory slots supporting up to 128GB DDR4-3200 ECC UDIMM, the R350 balances throughput and memory capacity. In Dell's server catalog, the R350 succeeded the POWEREDGE-R340, positioned alongside rival systems including PROLIANT-DL20-GEN10-PLUS, THINKSYSTEM-SR250-V2.
Options and compatibility
Processor support on the R350 utilizes 1 LGA1200 sockets with thermal heatsinks matching CPU power envelopes. System memory slots on the R350 require DDR4-3200 ECC UDIMM modules, and mixing RDIMM with LRDIMM memory is not supported. Front backplanes on the R350 accommodate either DXD9H (2.5-inch SFF) or X7K8W (3.5-inch LFF) trays based on chassis option. Networking on the R350 uses OCP 3.0 mezzanine slot, and expansion cards install into Up to 3 PCIe Gen4 slots risers.
How to identify it
Physical identification of the R350 is verified by the 15th-generation high-airflow front security bezel with the R350 badge on the front chassis ear. The pull-out information tag on the R350 control panel displays the 7-character Dell Service Tag and default login credentials. In iDRAC9 Gen15, the server identifies as R350 with active firmware, slot mapping, and power telemetry.
Buying used
When evaluating a pre-owned R350, inspect the LGA1200 CPU socket pins for damage and ensure retention clips are intact. Run Dell ePSA diagnostics across all 4 memory slots of the R350 to verify zero uncorrectable ECC faults under load. Verify that redundant power supplies in the R350 match in wattage and that iDRAC9 Gen15 Enterprise remote console is enabled. Ensure required R350 drive caddies and bracket accessories are present.

Works together
How the Dell PowerEdge R350 connects to servers, storage and the network: 4 ways, with the parts and products on each path.
Fibre Channel SAN
Match the speed: 16Gb and 32Gb FC HBAs, switches and array ports work together, and each generation also runs one or two speeds below its own (a 32Gb port runs at 16Gb and 8Gb).

Optics
iSCSI and NVMe/TCP over Ethernet
Keep the speed the same at all three points: a 25GbE server, a 25GbE switch port and a 25GbE array port. Mixed speeds work but the slowest link sets the pace.

Direct-attached SAS
12Gb SAS uses Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) connectors; older 6Gb gear uses Mini-SAS (SFF-8088). Adapter cables exist, but the link runs at the slower speed.
