– Vital product data and firmware information
DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as the IPMI
event log), the IMM event log (as the ASM event log), and the operating-system event logs. You can send
the DSA log as a file to a support representative or view the information as a text file or HTML file.

• Flexible network support
The compute node provides flexible network capabilities:
– Models without embedded virtual fabric: The compute node has connectors on the system board for
optional expansion adapters for adding network communication capabilities to the compute node. You
can install up to two I/O expansion adapters for network support. This provides the flexibility to install
expansion adapters that support a variety of network communication technologies.
• Hard disk drive support
The compute node supports up to two hot-swap hard disk drives. You can implement RAID 0 or RAID 1
for the drives.
• LenovoServerGuide Setup and InstallationCD
The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, which you can download from the web, provides programs to
help you set up the compute node and install a Windows operating system. The ServerGuide program
detects installed optional hardware devices and provides the correct configuration programs and device
drivers. For more information, see
• Integrated management module II (IMM2)
The integrated management module II (IMM2) combines systems-management functions, video controller,
the remote presence, and blue-screen capture features in a single chip. The IMM2 provides advanced
systems-management control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a
threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM2 lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records
the error in the IMM event log, and alerts you to the problem.
Optionally, the IMM2 also provides a virtual presence capability for remote systems management
capabilities. The IMM2 provides remote systems management through industry-standard interfaces:
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3.0
– Web browser

• Large system-memory capacity
The compute node supports up to 1536 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides support
for up to 48 industry-standard registered ECC DDR3 on low-profile (LP) DIMMs on the system board. For
the most current list of supported DIMMs, see
• Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help you diagnose problems. For more
information, see "Light path diagnostics" on page
• Microprocessor technology
The compute node supports up to four multi-core IntelXeon microprocessors. For more information about
supported microprocessors and their part numbers, see
on page 53.
