The UEFI firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)
version 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

Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized, resource-management solution that simplifies infrastructure
management, speeds responses, and enhances the availability of Lenovo® server systems and solutions. It
runs as a virtual appliance that automates discovery, inventory, tracking, monitoring, and provisioning for
Lenovo servers, Flex System servers, and RackSwitch switches in a secure environment.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a central interface to perform the following functions for all managed
endpoints.
• Hardware management
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management. It can automatically discover
manageable endpoints, including Flex System chassis and components, System x, NeXtScale, and
ThinkServer servers, and RackSwitch switches. Inventory of the discovered endpoints is also gathered,
so an at-a-glance view of the managed hardware inventory and status is possible.
• Hardware monitoring
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a centralized view of all events and alerts that are generated from
the managed endpoints. When a CMM or IMM detects an issue, an alert or event is passed to the Lenovo
XClarity Administrator and is displayed in the events or alerts log. A summary of all alerts and events is
visible from the Dashboard and the Status bar. Events and alerts for a specific endpoint are available from
the Alerts and Events detail page for that endpoint.
