– Installed hardware
– Light path diagnostics status
– Service processor status and configuration
– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for ServeRAID controllers and 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 DSA Preboot diagnostics, see the Problem Determination and Service
Guide on the Lenovo System x Documentation CD.
• Multi-core processing The server supports up to two Intel Xeon E5-2400 series multi-core
microprocessors. The server comes with only one microprocessor installed.
• Systems Director CD Systems Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use
to centrally manage System x and xSeries servers. For more information, see the Systems Director
documentation on the Systems Director CD and “Systems Director” on page 14.
• X-Architecture technology X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative designs to make
your Intel-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable.
– 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. For more information about installing DIMMs for memory
mirroring, see “Memory module installation” on page 67.
– Large system-memory capacity The server supports up to a maximum of 384 GB of system memory.
The server supports only industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3), 1066, 1333, or 1600 MHz,
synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) registered dual inline memory modules
(DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). For further details, see
Problem Determination and Service
Guide on the Lenovo System x Documentation CD.
