is no need to pull the server out of the rack to access internal components.
Hot-swap power supplies and hot-swap dual-motor redundant fans provide availability for mission-
critical applications.
An LCD diagnostics panel that is combined with individual light path diagnostic LEDs quickly lead
the technician to failed (or failing) components, which simplifies servicing, speeds up problem
resolution, and helps improve system availability.
Proactive Platform Alerts (including PFA and SMART alerts): Processors, voltage regulators,
memory, internal storage (SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs, NVMe SSDs, flash storage adapters), fans,
power supplies, RAID controllers, and server ambient and sub-component temperatures. Alerts can
be surfaced through the system IMM to managers such as Lenovo XClarity Administrator, VMware
vCenter, and Microsoft System Center. These proactive alerts let you take appropriate actions in
advance of possible failure, thereby increasing server uptime and application availability.
Built-in Integrated Management Module Version II (IMM2) continuously monitors system
parameters, triggers alerts, and performs recovering actions in case of failures to minimize
downtime.
Includes a special Mezzanine LOM (ML2) adapter slot with support for adapters with either two 10
Gb ports or four 1 Gb ports. Supports direct connectivity to the IMM2 service processor for out-of-
band systems management.
Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) supporting TPM 2.0 and TPM 1.2 enables advanced
cryptographic functionality, such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) NI support for faster and stronger
encryption.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides proactive systems management. It offers comprehensive
systems management tools that help increase uptime, reduce costs, and improve productivity
through advanced server management capabilities.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer better reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for greater uptime.
Built-in diagnostic tests, using Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) Preboot, speed up troubleshooting
tasks to reduce service time.
Three-year customer-replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty, 9x5 next business day. Optional
service upgrades are available.
