The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring. Memory
mirroring mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously. If a
failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the backup pair
of DIMMs.
• Large system-memory capacity
The server supports synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) registered dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). For more information about the specific types
and maximum amount of memory, see
“Technical specifications” on page 4.
• Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated 1-port Gigabit Ethernet controller with an RJ-45 connector, which
supports connection to a 1000 Mbps network.
• Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
Storage capacity is different depending on server models. See
“Technical specifications” on page 4 for
more information.
• Lightpath Diagnostics
Lightpath Diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information about the
Lightpath Diagnostics, see
“System LEDs and diagnostics display” on page 40.
• Mobile access to Lenovo Service Information website
The server provides a QR code on the system service label, which is on the cover of the server, that you
can scan using a QR code reader and scanner with a mobile device to get quick access to the Lenovo
Service Information website. The Lenovo Service Information website provides additional information for
parts installation, replacement videos, and error codes for server support.
• Active Energy Manager
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager is a power and temperature management solution for data centers. You
can monitor and manage the power consumption and temperature of Converged, NeXtScale, System x,
and ThinkServer servers, and improve energy efficiency using Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager.
• Redundant networking connection
The Lenovo XClarity Controller provides failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection with the
applicable application installed. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet
traffic that is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the optional redundant
Ethernet connection. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss
and without user intervention.
• Redundant cooling
The redundant cooling by the fans in the server enables continued operation if one of the fan rotors fails.
See
“Thermal rules” on page 65 for more information.
• ThinkSystem RAID support
The ThinkSystem RAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID) support
to create configurations. The standard RAID adapter provides RAID levels 0, 1, and 10. Optional RAID
adapter with RAID 5, 50, 6, and 60 is available for purchase.
Tech Tips
Lenovo continually updates the support website with the latest tips and techniques that you can use to solve
issues that your server might encounter. These Tech Tips (also called retain tips or service bulletins) provide
procedures to work around issues or solve problems related to the operation of your server.
