Chapter 1. The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node
The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node is a high-availability, scalable compute node that is
optimized to support the next-generation microprocessor technology and is ideally suited for medium
and large businesses.
The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node is supported in the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure only.
This documentation provides the following information about setting up and troubleshooting the compute
node:
• Starting and configuring the compute node
• Installing the operating system
• Diagnosing problems
• Installing, removing, and replacing components
Packaged with the compute node are software CDs that help you configure hardware, install device drivers,
and install the operating system.
If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from the Lenovo website. The
server might have features that are not described in the documentation that comes with the server, and
the documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical
updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in the server documentation.
To check for updates, go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.
The compute node comes with a limited warranty. For information about the terms of the warranty and
getting service and assistance, see the Warranty Information document for your compute node.
You can download the Lenovo ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to help you configure the hardware,
install device drivers, and install the operating system.

The model number and serial number are on the ID label on the bezel on the front of the compute node, and
on a label on the bottom of the compute node that is visible when the compute node is not in the NeXtScale
n1200 Enclosure. If the compute node comes with an RFID tag, the RFID tag covers the ID label on the bezel
on the front of the compute node, but you can open the RFID tag to see the ID label behind it.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
