An optional USB flash device with VMware ESXi embedded hypervisor software is available for purchase.
Hypervisor is virtualization software that enables multiple operating systems to run on a host system at
the same time. See “Using the embedded hypervisor” on page 99 for additional information.
Reliability, availability, and serviceability
Three important computer design features are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). The RAS
features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is stored in the server, the availability of the server when
you need it, and the ease with which you can diagnose and correct problems.
Your server has the following RAS features:
• 3-year parts and 3-year labor limited warranty (Machine Type 5458)
• Backup basic input/output system switching under the control of the Integrated Management Module II
(IMM2)
• Built-in monitoring for fan, power, temperature, voltage, and power-supply redundancy
• Chipkill memory protection
• Diagnostic support for ServeRAID and Ethernet adapters
• Error codes and messages
• Error correcting code (ECC) L3 cache and system memory
• Cooling fans with speed-sensing capability
• Hot-swap hard disk drives
• Hot-swap power supplies
• Information and light path diagnostics LED panels
• Light path diagnostics LEDs for DIMMs, microprocessors, and power supplies
• Memory error correcting code and parity test
• Microprocessor built-in self-test (BIST), internal error signal monitoring, internal thermal trip signal
monitoring, configuration checking, and microprocessor and voltage regulator module failure identification
through light path diagnostics
• Nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) button
• Parity checking on the PCIe buses
• Power management: compliance with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
• Power-on self-test (POST)
• Redundant hot-swap power supplies
• Serial Presence Detection (SPD) on memory, VPD on system board, power supply, and hard disk drive or
solid state drive backplanes, microprocessor and memory expansion tray, and Ethernet adapters
• Single-DIMM isolation of excessive correctable error or multi-bit error by the Unified Extensible Firmware
Interface (UEFI)
• Upgradeable POST, Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), diagnostics, IMM2 firmware, and
read-only memory (ROM) resident code, locally or over the LAN
Systems Director
Systems Director is a platform-management foundation that streamlines the way you manage physical
and virtual systems supports multiple operating systems and virtualization technologies in Lenovo and
non-Lenovo x86 platforms.
Through a single user interface, Systems Director provides consistent views for viewing managed systems,
determining how these systems relate to one other, and identifying their statuses, helping to correlate
technical resources with business needs. A set of common tasks that are included with Systems Director
provides many of the core capabilities that are required for basic management, which means instant
out-of-the-box business value. The common tasks include:
• Discovery
• Inventory
• Configuration
