•  UEFI-compliant server firmware
Lenovo ThinkSystem firmware is Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) compliant. UEFI replaces 
BIOS and defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external 
devices. 
Lenovo ThinkSystem servers are capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based 
operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.
Note: The server does not support Disk Operating System (DOS).
•  Active Memory
The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring. Memory 
mirroring mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of memory modules within two channels 
simultaneously. If a failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory 
memory modules to the backup pair of memory modules.
•  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 
“Specifications” on page 3.
•  Integrated network support 
The server comes with an integrated 2-port Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10 
Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. In the initial server configuration, Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2 are 
activated.
•  Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores private and public secure keys. 
It provides the hardware support for the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can 
download the software to support the TCG specification. 
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has two versions - TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0. You can change the TPM 
version from 1.2 to 2.0 and back again.
Note: For customers in Chinese Mainland, a Lenovo-qualified TPM 2.0 adapter or a TPM card may be 
pre-installed.
•  Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
Some server models support a maximum of sixteen 2.5-inch hot-swap drives or a maximum of eight 3.5- 
inch hot-swap drives. For some models, you can install up to eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drives and four 3.5- 
inch hot-swap drives into the same server.
Some server models support a maximum of eight 3.5-inch simple-swap drives.
With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
•  Front panel 
Front panel provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information about the front panel,
