The installation process varies depending on the configuration of the server when it was delivered. In some cases, the server is fully configured and just needs to be connected to power and the network and started. In other cases, the server needs to have hardware features installed, requires hardware and firmware configuration, and requires the operating system to be installed.

Documentation and software media |
The TS200 server offers the following features and technologies:
vUEFI-compliant server firmware
The server firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1 compliance, enhanced RAS capabilities, and BIOS compatibility support. UEFI replaces the basic input/output system (BIOS) and defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices. UEFI-compliant servers are capable of starting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.
Note: The server does not support DOS (Disk Operating System).
vSystems-management capabilities
The integrated management module (IMM) combines service processor functions, video controller, and 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. The IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server management through industry-standard interfaces:
–Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
–Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3
–Common Information Model (CIM)
–Web browser
© Lenovo 2009. Portions © IBM Corp. 2009. |
7 |
vRemote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
–Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz, regardless of the system state
–Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
–Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
–Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
vPreboot diagnostics programs
The preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. It collects and analyzes 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
–Service processor status and configuration
–Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
–Hard disk drive health
–RAID controller configuration
–Event logs for 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 preboot diagnostics, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.
vEasyStartup DVD
The ThinkServer EasyStartup program guides you through the configuration of the hardware, the RAID controller, and the installation of the operating system and device drivers.
vEasyManage DVD
The ThinkServer EasyManage program helps you manage and administer your servers and clients through remote problem notification as well as monitoring and alerting.
vIntegrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Intel 82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see “Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 122.
vIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0
8 ThinkServer TS200 Types 6522, 6523, 6524, 6525, 6526, 6528, 6529, and 6530: Installation and User Guide
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.
vLarge data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
Some hot-swap server models support four 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives. With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
vLarge system-memory capacity
The server supports up to 32 GB of system memory when registered DIMMs are installed. The server supports up to 16 GB of memory when unbuffered DIMMs are installed. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) and non-error correcting code for up to 6 industry-standard PC3-8500, or PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank), 1066 and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate), registered, and unbuffered synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
vRedundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.
vHigh-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.
vRedundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.
vDual-core or quad-core processing
The server supports one Intel Xeon dual-core or quad-core microprocessor.
vRAID support
The server supports an internal RAID SAS Controller, which is required for you to use the hot-swap hard disk drives and to create redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations.
vTCP/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 microprocessors 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.
Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux® operating system does not support TOE.
