– Hot-swap feature
Some models support hot-swap hard disk drives and or hot-swap redundant power supplies. With
the hot-swap feature, you can install, remove, or replace hard disk drives or a failing power supply
without turning off the server.
– Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
The Intel PXE technology enables you to boot your computers, load an operating system, or deploy
executable images from a remote server by using a network interface. The operation can be done
independently of local data storage devices (such as hard disk drives) or installed operating systems.
– Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
Your server supports onboard SATA software RAID and advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID
configurations if you have a required RAID card installed. For detailed information, see “Configuring
RAID” on page 73.
– Status light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and diagnostic LEDs
For more information about the LEDs for your server, refer to the related topics in “Locations” on
page 13.
– Software programs
For more information about the software programs, see “Software” on page 12.
– Wake on LAN
When the Wake on LAN feature is enabled on a computer that is connected to a local area network
(LAN), a network administrator can remotely turn on or wake up the computer from a management
console using remote network management software. Besides, many other functions, such as data
transfer and software updates, can be performed remotely without remote attendance and can be done
after normal working hours and on weekends to save time and increase productivity.
• Advanced system management features
The TMM firmware supports the following advanced system management features.
Note: The advanced system management features are only available when the TMM detects the presence
of an integrated keyboard, video, and mouse (iKVM) key. The iKVM key is a remote management
module. You can purchase an iKVM key from Lenovo and install it on the iKVM key connector on the
system board of your server to enable the remote management function and activate the advanced
system management features.
– ThinkServer Management Module Premium redirection
The TMM firmware supports ThinkServer Management Module Premium redirection over LAN. This
feature is available remotely from the embedded Web server. The remote management module can
digitize and compress the collected keyboard, video, and mouse signals from the host system and then
send them to the remote console. Meanwhile, it is easily accessible by remote KVM and controllable
through LAN or Internet. For detailed information, refer to the
Remote Management Module User Guide
on the documentation DVD that comes with your server.
– Media redirection
The embedded Web server provides a Java JNLP to enable the remote media redirection. This is used
in conjunction with the remote KVM feature or as a standalone applet.
The media redirection feature is intended to enable system administrators or users to mount a remote
optical drive, floppy drive, or USB flash disk as a USB device to the server. Once mounted, the remote
device functions as a local device to the server, enabling system administrators or users to boot the
server and install software (including operating systems), copy files, update the BIOS from this device.
– Web Services for Management (WS-MAN)
The TMM firmware supports the WS-MAN specification.
– Local Directory Authentication Protocol (LDAP)
