Power throttling
By enforcing a power policy known as power-domain oversubscription, the Flex System chassis can
share the power load between two or more power supply modules to ensure sufficient power for each
device in the Flex System chassis. This policy is enforced when the initial power is applied to the Flex
System chassis or when a compute node is inserted into the Flex System chassis.
The following settings for this policy are available:
– Basic power management
– Power module redundancy
– Power module redundancy with compute node throttling allowed
You can configure and monitor the power environment by using the Chassis Management Module. For
more information, see
the Flex System Chassis Management Module: Command-Line Interface Reference
Guide at http://flexsystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/com.lenovo.acc.cmm.doc/dw1kt_cmm_cli_book.

Active Memory
The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring. Memory
mirroring mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously. If a
failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the backup pair
of DIMMs.
