Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 7X12 - Server Specifications and Management Options

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 and optional power capabilities
The server supports a maximum of four 1100-watt (110V or 220V ac) or 1600-watt (220V ac) hot-swap
power supplies and six or twelve hot-swap fans, depending on the server configuration. The redundant
cooling by the fans in the server enables continued operation if a fan fails.
Note: You cannot mix power supply types in the server.
• 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 and 1. An optional RAID
adapter is available for purchase.
