Chapter 3. What is included with your server

The TD200 server package includes the server, power cords, and the ThinkServer Documentation DVD.

1 Server 2 Shipgroup box containing power cords and theThinkServer Documentation DVD

Features and technologies

The server uses the following features and technologies:

v Integrated Management Module

The Integrated Management Module (IMM) combines service processor functions, video controller, and (when an optional virtual media key is installed) remote presence function in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server management through the following industry-standard interfaces:

– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0 – Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3 – Common Information Model (CIM) – Web browser For additional information, see “Using the integrated management module” on

page 155.

v UEFI-compliant server firmware

The UEFI-compliant server firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) version 2.1 compliance, enhanced reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) capabilities, and basic input/output system (BIOS) compatibility support. UEFI replaces the legacy BIOS. UEFI defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware and external devices, and offers capabilities that far exceeds that of the legacy BIOS.

The server design combines the UEFI capabilities and features with legacy BIOS compatibility. The server is capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.

Page 26

Note: The server does not support Disk Operating System (DOS).

v Preboot diagnostics program

The preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. They collect and analyze system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostics programs collect the following information about the server:

– System configuration – Network interfaces and settings – Installed hardware – EasyLED status – Service processor status and configuration – Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly called BIOS) configuration – Hard disk drive health – RAID controller configuration – Event logs for RAID controllers and service processors The diagnostics programs create a merged log that includes events from all

collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to 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 diagnostics, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

v High-performance graphics controller

The server comes with an onboard high-performance graphics controller that supports high resolutions and includes many performance-enhancing features for the operating-system environment.

v Integrated network support

The server comes with an integrated dual-port Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see “Enabling the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet Utility program” on page 151.

v Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores private and public secure keys. It provides the hardware support for the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can download the software to support the TCG specification, when the software is available. You can enable TPM support through the Setup Utility under the System Security menu option.

v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capabilities

Some hot-swap server models support eight slim-high, 2.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives or four 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives (depending on the model). With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.

v Large system-memory capacity

The server supports up to 48 GB (reduced to 24 GB in mirroring mode) of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to 12 industry-standard PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank), 800, 1067, and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate), registered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

v Memory mirroring

8 ThinkServer TD200 Types 3724, 3808, 3809, 3815, 3817, 3824, 3826, 3836: Installation and User Guide

Page 27

Some models support memory mirroring. Memory mirroring replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels (channel 0 and 1) simultaneously. If a failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the backup pair of DIMMs. To support memory mirroring, you must install a pair of DIMMs at a time. One DIMM must be in channel 0, and the mirroring DIMM must be in the same slot in channel 1. For more information, see 91.

v RAID support

The ServeRAID adapter provides hardware redundant array of independent disks (RAID) support to create configurations. The standard RAID adapter provides RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E. The optional RAID adapters are available for purchase and provide RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. See “Installing an adapter” on page 96 and “Using the LSI Configuration Utility program” on page 143 for more information about supported adapters and creating RAID arrays.

v Symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)

The server supports up to two Intel Xeon microprocessors. Each microprocessor provides symmetric multiprocessing capability. When you install the second microprocessor, this will enhance the performance of the server.

v Systems-management capabilities

The server comes with an integrated management module (IMM). When the IMM is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The IMM also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert capability. The systems-management connector on the rear of the server is dedicated to the IMM. The dedicated systems-management connector provides additional security by physically separating the management network traffic from the production network. You can use the Setup Utility to configure the server to use a dedicated systems-management network or a shared network.

v TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support

The Ethernet controllers in the server support TOE, which is a technology that offloads the TCP/IP flow from the microprocessor and I/O subsystem to increase the speed of the TCP/IP flow. When an operating system that supports TOE is running on the server and TOE is enabled, the server supports TOE operation. See the operating-system documentation for information about enabling TOE. The Windows operating system requires that the Windows Scalable Network Pack (SNP) be installed for TOE support.

Specifications

Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux operating system does not

support TOE.

The following information is a summary of the features and specifications for machine types 3724, 3808, 3809, 3815, 3817, 3824, 3826, 3836. Depending on the server model, some features might not be available, or some specifications might not apply.

Server power features

When the server is connected to an ac power source but is not turned on, the operating system does not run, and all core logic except for the service processor (the Integrated Management Module) is shut down; however, the server can respond to requests to the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. The power-on LED flashes to indicate that the server is connected to ac power but is not turned on.

Turning on the server

Approximately 5 seconds after the server is connected to ac power, one or more fans might start running to provide cooling while the server is connected to power and the power-on button LED will blink quickly. Approximately 1 to 3 minutes after the server is connected to ac power, the power-control button becomes active (the power-on LED will blink slowly). You can turn on the server by pressing the power-control button.

The server can also be turned on in any of the following ways: v If a power failure occurs while the server is turned on, the server will restart

automatically when power is restored.

Note: When 4 GB or more of memory (physical or logical) is installed, some memory is reserved for various system resources and is unavailable to the operating system. The amount of memory that is reserved for system resources depends on the operating system, the configuration of the server, and the configured peripheral component interconnect (PCI) options.

Turning off the server

When you turn off the server and leave it connected to ac power, the server can respond to requests to the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the server. While the server remains connected to ac power, one or more fans might continue to run. To remove all power from the server, you must disconnect it from the power source.

Some operating systems require an orderly shutdown before you turn off the server. See your operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.

Statement 5:

Chapter 4. Server controls, LEDs, and power 35

Page 54

The server can be turned off in any of the following ways: v You can turn off the server from the operating system, if your operating system

Chapter 5. Installing optional devices and replacing customer replaceable units

Important: Before you install optional hardware, make sure that the server is

working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed. If the server is not working correctly, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual and “Troubleshooting tables” on page 163 for diagnostic information.

This chapter provides detailed instructions for installing optional hardware devices in the server.

Installation guidelines

Before you install options, read the following information: v Read the safety information (see “Safety” on page vii, “Handling static-sensitive

devices” on page 39, and “Working inside the server with the power on” on page

38). This information will help you work safely.

v When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply

the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, do the following:

1. Go to: http://www.lenovo.com/support.

2. Enter your product number (machine type and model number) or select Servers and Storage from the Select your product list.

3. From Family list, select ThinkServer TD200, and click Continue.

4. Click Downloads and drivers to download firmware updates.

v Before you install optional hardware, make sure that the server is working

correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed. If the server is not working correctly, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual for diagnostic information.

v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed

covers and other parts in a safe place.

v If you must start the server while the cover is removed, make sure that no one is

near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the server.

v Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to

lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions: – Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping. – Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. – Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy

object.

– To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up

with your leg muscles.

v Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical

outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.

v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver, a small Phillips screwdriver, and a T8 torx

screwdriver available.

Page 56

v You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap fans and

hot-swap drives.

v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component

to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.

v Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates

that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing and installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.

v When you have to access the inside of the server, you might find it easier to

position the server on its side.

v When you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards,

labels, and ground wires.

v For a list of supported options for the server, see http://www.lenovo.com/

thinkserver.

System reliability guidelines

To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met:

v Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic

compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.

v There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to

work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before turning on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server cover removed might damage server components.

v You have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters. v You have replaced a failed fan as soon as possible. v You have replaced a hot-swap fan within 30 seconds of removal. v You have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal. v You do not operate the server without the air baffle installed. Operating the

server without the air baffle might cause the microprocessor to overheat.

Working inside the server with the power on

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when

the server is powered on might cause the server to halt, which could result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

The server (some models) supports hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on.

v Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts

before working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server.

v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.

38 ThinkServer TD200 Types 3724, 3808, 3809, 3815, 3817, 3824, 3826, 3836: Installation and User Guide

Page 57

v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist

watches.

v Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall

into the server as you lean over it.

v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws,

into the server.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other electronic devices.

To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

v The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an

electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted

metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without

setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a metal surface.

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces

indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
