Supported interfaces include:
Command-line interface (IPMI Shell)
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.
Serial over LAN
Establish a Serial over LAN (SOL) connection to manage servers from a remote location. You can
remotely view and change the UEFI settings, restart the server, identify the server, and perform
other management functions. Any standard Telnet client application can access the SOL
connection.
The sd350 is also supported with Lenovo XClarity Administrator. Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a
centralized resource management solution designed to reduce complexity, speed response, and
enhance the availability of Lenovo systems and solutions.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management for ThinkServer, System x, and
Flex System servers. The administration dashboard, shown in the following figure, is based on HTML 5
and allows fast location of resources, so tasks can be run quickly.

Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not require any agent software to be installed on the
managed endpoints, there are no CPU cycles spent on agent execution and no memory is used.
This means that up to 1GB of RAM and 1 - 2% CPU usage is saved, compared to a typical managed
system where an agent is required.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator supports the following functions with the ThinkServer sd350:
