Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the RS140:
Active Management Technology (available with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v3 processors) monitors server
availability and enables administrators to perform remote management.
An integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
The ThinkServer EasyStartup tool simplifies the process of configuring RAID and installing supported
Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, VMware hypervisors, and device drivers on a
ThinkServer system.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) support enables advanced cryptographic functionality,
such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (AES-NI) support improves the
speed and strength of encryption.
Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow
attacks when combined with a supporting operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance
to malicious software attacks. This enables an application to run in its own isolated space, protected
from all other software running on a system.
Energy efficiency
The RS140 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase
energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
80 PLUS Gold-certified power supply enables greater energy savings while providing flexibility to
meet your business needs.
Intelligent Cooling Engine (ICE) actively monitors component temperatures in real-time and optimally
adjusts the speeds of the fans to keep the system cooler and quieter.
The ThinkServer Power Planner tool provides information about the power consumption and electric
current calculation for the different configurations of servers and other devices, which helps plan
deployment of servers and devices in an efficient way.
The Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v3 product family offers better performance than the previous
generation, while fitting into similar TDP limits.
Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to
reduce power draw.
The use of SSDs can help lower power consumption compared to traditional spinning 2.5-inch HDDs.
