With Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager, administrators can take control of power usage through improved
data analysis and lower the TCO (total cost of ownership). The tool optimizes data center efficiency by
allowing administrators to:
• Track platform power consumption, inlet temperature, and component-level power consumption, such as
CPU and memory power consumption.
• Visually check the layout of room, row and rack via 2D thermal map.
• Show events and send e-mail or SNMP trap notifications when certain faults occur or certain thresholds
are reached.
• Optimize energy efficiency by identifying hotspot or over-cooling servers to optimize cooling efficiency
and identifying low-usage servers to save energy.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Note: The following functions may be not fully available for your server model.
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
server, network, and storage hardware in a secure environment.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a central interface to perform the following functions for all managed
endpoints:
• Manage and monitor hardware. Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware
management. It can automatically discover manageable endpoints, including server, network, and storage
hardware. Inventory data is collected for managed endpoints for an at-a-glance view of the managed
hardware inventory and status.
• Service and support. Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be set up to collect and send diagnostic files
automatically to your preferred service provider when certain serviceable events occur in Lenovo XClarity
Administrator and the managed endpoints. You can choose to send diagnostic files to Lenovo Support
using Call Home or to another service provider using SFTP. You can also manually collect diagnostic files,
open a problem record, and send diagnostic files to the Lenovo Support Center.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be integrated into external, higher-level management and automation
platforms through open REST application programming interfaces (APIs). Using the REST APIs, Lenovo
XClarity Administrator can easily integrate with your existing management infrastructure. In addition, you can
automate tasks using the PowerShell toolkit or the Python toolkit.
