• Dynamic System Analysis (DSA)
The server comes with the Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot diagnostic program stored in the
integrated USB memory on the server. DSA collects and analyzes system information to aid in diagnosing
server problems, as well as offering a rich set of diagnostic tests of the major components of the
server. DSA creates a DSA log, which is a chronologically ordered merge of the system-event log (as
the IPMI event log), the Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) event log (as the ASM event log), and
the operating-system event logs. You can send the DSA log as a file to Lenovo Support or view the
information as a text file or HTML file.
Two editions of Dynamic System Analysis are available: DSA Portable and DSA Preboot. For more
information about both editions, see "DSA editions" on page 142.
