ThinkServer System Manager (TSM) is Lenovo’s integrated systems management technology is standard
on all next-generation ThinkServer systems. TSM operates independently of the server. It provides
hardware-based, out-of-band remote access and management to ThinkServer systems, regardless of the
server’s power state or the condition of the operating system.
TSM is a fully featured management solution that is built on open industry standards that can help reduce
related IT expenses by increasing a server administrator’s productivity. TSM provides important health and
status information to systems administrators. It also enables administrators to remotely perform most
functions that otherwise require a visit to the server.
TSM can be used as part of any server systems management infrastructure and is well-suited for
customers who are deploying servers in remote branches, limited-access data centers, and where one-on
one remote-control capability is required. Lenovo’s design advancements address key system
management concerns. In particular, TSM is a low-cost solution that supports heterogeneous
environments, provides full remote management capability, and supports remote deployment.
Remote access to TSM is via a dedicated systems management Ethernet port on the rear of the server.
Alternatively, you can go to UEFI and configure the first of the two system Gigabit Ethernet ports to be
shared between TSM and the installed operating system.
TSM provides the following key features:
Remote server management through the following industry standard interfaces:
Secure HTML5 browser-based UI that is suitable for today’s mobile devices and tablets
