Dell PowerEdge T350
The Dell PowerEdge T350 is an expandable, single-socket 4.5U tower server built for small businesses, retail branches, and distributed enterprise edge deployments. Powered by Intel Xeon E-2300 series processors, it accommodates up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC unbuffered memory across 4 slots. The T350 provides enterprise-grade data protection through hot-swap drive bays and redundant hot-plug power supplies in an acoustically quiet tower chassis that is 10% smaller than the previous generation. In the used market, it is a prime candidate for office file servers and accounting systems. Buyers should confirm ECC UDIMM compatibility.

Works together
How the Dell PowerEdge T350 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.

File storage (NFS and SMB)
Front-end ports face the clients; back-end ports (on scale-out systems) connect the nodes to each other and need their own switch pair.
