• Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information about light
path diagnostics and the LEDs, see "Operator information panel" on page 15 or "LCD operating panel
assembly" on page 15.
• Mobile access to Lenovo Service Information Web site
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 Web site. The Lenovo Service Information Web site provides additional information
for parts installation and replacement videos, and error codes for server support. For the QR code, see
Chapter 1 "The Lenovo Converged HX Series server" on page 1.
• Multi-core processing
The HX series models support two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 series multi-core microprocessors except for
the HX1310 model which comes with one microprocessor.
• PCI adapter capabilities
The server has two PCI interface slots. See "Replacing an adapter" on page 126 for detailed information.
• Redundant connection
The addition of the optional Ethernet adapter provides failover capability to a redundant Ethernet
connection with the applicable application installed. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet
connection and the optional Ethernet adapter is installed on the server, all Ethernet traffic that is
associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the optional redundant Ethernet
adapter 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 appliances come with two 750-watt or 900-watt hot-swap power supplies and seven dual-motor
hot-swap fans, which provide redundancy and hot-swap capability for a typical configuration. The
redundant cooling by the fans in the server enables continued operation if one of the fans fails.
Note: You cannot mix power supplies that have different wattages in the server.
• Systems-management capabilities
The server comes with an Integrated management module 2.1 (IMM2.1). When the IMM is used with the
systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server
locally and remotely. The IMM also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert
capability. The systems-management connector on the rear of the server is dedicated to the IMM. The
dedicated systems-management connector provides additional security by physically separating the
management network traffic from the production network. You can use the Setup Utility to configure the
server to use a dedicated systems-management network or a shared network.
• UEFI-compliant server firmware
Lenovo System x Server Firmware (server firmware) offers several features, including Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1 compliance; enhanced reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS)
capabilities; and basic input/output system (BIOS) compatibility support. UEFI replaces the BIOS and
defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices.
UEFI-compliant System x 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 DOS (Disk Operating System).
