– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for service processors
The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The
information is collected into a file that you can send to Lenovo service and support. Additionally, you
can view the information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a
removable media and view the log from a Web browser.
For additional information about preboot diagnostics, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.
v EasyStartup DVD
The ThinkServer EasyStartup program guides you through the configuration of the hardware, the
RAID controller, and the installation of the operating system and device drivers.
v EasyManage DVD
The ThinkServer EasyManage program helps you manage and administer your servers and clients
through remote problem notification as well as monitoring and alerting.
v Integrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Intel
supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see
"Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers" on page 265.
v Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0
The command-line interface provides direct access to server management functions through the IPMI
2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue commands to control the server power, view
system information, and identify the server. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and
run the file as a script.
v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
Some hot-swap server models support four 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives. With the hot-swap
feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
v Large system-memory capacity
The server supports up to 24 GB of system memory when registered DIMMs are installed. The server
supports up to 8 GB of memory when unbuffered DIMMs are installed. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) and non-error correcting code for up to 6 industry-standard
PC3-8500, or PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank), 1066 and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation
double-data-rate), registered, and unbuffered synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM)
dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
v Redundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant
Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that
is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user
intervention.
v High-performance graphics controller
The server comes with an onboard high-performance graphics controller that supports high resolutions
and includes many performance-enhancing features for the operating-system environment.
v Redundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant
Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that
is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user
intervention.
v Dual-core or quad-core processing
