Lenovo HX3510-G Installation And Service Manual page 24

• Mobile access to 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 Service
Information website. The Service Information website provides additional information for parts installation
and replacement videos, and error codes for server support. For the QR code, see QR code information
on page Chapter 1 "The Lenovo Converged HX Series server" on page 1.
• Multi-core processing
The HX series models support up to two Intel Xeon™ E5-2600 v4 series multi-core microprocessors
except for the HX5500-C model which comes with one microprocessor.
• PCI adapter capabilities
The HX3510-G and HX7510 models have two PCI interface risers. See "Replacing an adapter" on page
152 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 900-watt or 1500-watt hot-swap power supplies and six single-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 different wattages and different 80 plus efficiency level of power supplies in
the server.
• Systems-management capabilities
The server comes with an 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. In shared mode, depending on the network environment, the IMM might disconnect
from the network for a short time when the server restarts. 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
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).
• Enterprise X-Architecture technology
X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative Lenovo designs to make your
Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable.
