Chapter 1. Introduction

This Hardware Maintenance Manual contains information to help you solve

problems that might occur in the Lenovo ThinkServer

™

RD120 Machine Types

6444, 6445, 6446, and 6447 server. It describes the diagnostic tools that come with

the server, error codes and suggested actions, and instructions for replacing failing

components.

Replaceable components are of three types:

v Self-service customer replaceable unit (CRU): Replacement of self-service

CRUs is your responsibility. If IBM

installs a self-service CRU at your request,

you will be charged for the installation.

v Optional-service customer replaceable unit: You may install an

optional-service CRU yourself or request Lenovo to install it, at no additional

charge, under the type of warranty service that is designated for the server.

v Field replaceable unit (FRU): FRUs must be installed only by trained service

technicians.

For information about the terms of the warranty and getting service and assistance,

see the Warranty and Support Information document.

The server has two model styles, which are based on the size and number of hard

disk drive bays:

v The 3.5-inch models have six 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive bays. Install only

3.5-inch drives in these models. If you intend to install an optional tape drive, the

tape drive will occupy two of the six 3.5-inch drive bays.

v The 2.5-inch models have eight 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive bays and one

3.5-inch tape-drive bay. Install only 2.5-inch hard disk drives and an optional

3.5-inch tape drive in these models.

Throughout this documentation, the terms 2.5-inch models and 3.5-inch models are

used to distinguish between the server styles.
