• Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized resource-management solution that enables administrators
to deploy infrastructure faster and with less effort. The solution seamlessly integrates into System x,
ThinkServer, and NeXtScale servers, as well as the Flex System converged infrastructure platform.
– Agent-free hardware management
– Monitoring
– Firmware updates and compliance
– Pattern-based configuration management
– Deployment of operating systems and hypervisors
Administrators are able to find the right information and accomplish critical tasks faster through an
uncluttered, dashboard-driven graphical user interface (GUI). Centralizing and automating foundational
infrastructure deployment and lifecycle management tasks across large pools of systems frees up
administrator time, and makes resources available to end-users faster.
Lenovo XClarity is easily extended into the leading virtualization management platforms from Microsoft
and VMware using software plug-ins, called Lenovo XClarity Integrators. The solution improves workload
uptime and service-level assurance by dynamically relocating workloads from affected hosts in the cluster
during rolling server reboots or firmware updates, or during predicted hardware failures.
For more information about Lenovo XClarity Administrator, see the http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/

Enclosure Type 5468 can share the power load between six power supplies to ensure sufficient power for
each device in the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468. This policy is enforced when the initial
power is applied to the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468 or when a compute node is
inserted into the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468.
The following settings for this policy are available:
– Basic power management
– Power module redundancy
– Power module redundancy with compute node throttling allowed
Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized, resource-management solution that simplifies infrastructure
management, speeds responses, and enhances the availability of Lenovo® server systems and solutions. It
runs as a virtual appliance that automates discovery, inventory, tracking, monitoring, and provisioning for
Lenovo servers, Flex System servers, and RackSwitch switches in a secure environment.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a central interface to perform the following functions for all managed
endpoints.
• Hardware management
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management. It can automatically discover
manageable endpoints, including Flex System chassis and components, System x, NeXtScale, and
ThinkServer servers, and RackSwitch switches. Inventory of the discovered endpoints is also gathered, so
an at-a-glance view of the managed hardware inventory and status is possible.
• Hardware monitoring
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a centralized view of all events and alerts that are generated from
the managed endpoints. When a CMM or IMM detects an issue, an alert or event is passed to the Lenovo
XClarity Administrator and is displayed in the events or alerts log. A summary of all alerts and events is
visible from the Dashboard and the Status bar. Events and alerts for a specific endpoint are available from
the Alerts and Events detail page for that endpoint.
• Operating-system deployment
You can use Lenovo XClarity Administrator to manage the repository of operating-system images and
deploy operating-system images to managed servers.
• Configuration management
You can quickly provision and pre-provision all of your servers using a consistent configuration.
Configuration settings (such as local storage, I/O adapters, boot settings, firmware, ports, and IMM and
UEFI settings) are saved as a server pattern that can be applied to one or more managed servers. When
the server patterns are updated, the changes are automatically deployed to the applied servers.
• Firmware compliance and updates
Firmware management is simplified by assigning firmware-compliance policies to managed endpoints.
When you create and assign a compliance policy to managed endpoints,Lenovo XClarity Administrator
monitors changes to the inventory for those endpoints and flags any endpoints that are out of compliance.
• User management
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a centralized authentication server to create and manage user
accounts and to manage and authenticate user credentials. The authentication server is created
automatically when you start the management server for the first time. The user accounts that you create
for Lenovo XClarity Administrator are also used to log in to managed chassis and servers.

• Security
If your environment must comply with either NIST SP 800-131A or FIPS 140-2 standards, Lenovo XClarity
Administrator can help you achieve a fully compliant environment. It supports self-signed SSL certificates
(which are issued by an internal certificate authority) and external SSL certificates (which are issued by a
private or commercial CA). Firewalls on chassis and servers can be configured to accept incoming
requests from only Lenovo XClarity Administrator.
• Service and support
Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be set up to collect and send diagnostic files automatically to your
preferred service provider when certain serviceable events occur in Lenovo XClarity Administrator and the
managed endpoints. You can choose to send diagnostic files to Lenovo Support using call home or to
another service provider using SFTP. You can also manually collect diagnostic files, open a problem
record, and send diagnostic files to the Lenovo Support Center.
• Task automation using scripts
Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be integrated into external, higher-level management and automation
platforms through open REST application programming interfaces (APIs). Using the REST APIs, Lenovo
XClarity Administrator can easily integrate with your existing management infrastructure. You can also run
Lenovo XClarity cmdlets in a Microsoft PowerShell session to automate certain management functions.
The cmdlets use Lenovo XClarity Administrator REST APIs and can automate functions
• Integration with other management software
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is available stand-alone or as a bundled offering that is known asLenovo
XClarity Pro. Lenovo XClarity Pro is composed of the base Administrator product plus two Lenovo XClarity
Integrator modules that provide integration into Microsoft Systems Center or VMware vCenter. Together,
these tools provide discovery, monitoring, configuration, and management functions to reduce the cost
and complexity of routine system administration for System x, NeXtScale, and Flex System endpoints.

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 nonLenovo 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-ofthe-box business value. The common tasks include:
• Discovery
• Inventory
• Configuration
• System health
• Updates
• Event notification
• Automation for managed systems
The Systems Director Web and command-line interfaces provide a consistent interface that is focused on
driving these common tasks and capabilities:
• Discovering, navigating, and visualizing systems on the network with the detailed inventory and
relationships to the other network resources
• Notifying users of problems that occur on systems and the ability to isolate the source of the problems
• Notifying users when systems need updates and distributing and installing updates on a schedule
• Analyzing real-time data for systems and setting critical thresholds that notify the administrator of
emerging problems
• Configuring settings of a single system and creating a configuration plan that can apply those settings to
multiple systems
• Updating installed plug-ins to add new features and functions to the base capabilities
• Managing the life cycles of virtual resources

Power button/LED
When the water-cooled technology tray is connected to power through the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200
Enclosure Type 5468, press this button to turn on or turn off the water-cooled technology tray.
This button is also the power LED. This green LED indicates the power status of the water-cooled
technology tray:
• Flashing rapidly: The LED flashes rapidly for the following reasons:
– The water-cooled technology tray has been installed in a chassis. When you install the water-
cooled technology tray, the LED flashes rapidly for up to 90 seconds while the integrated
management module (IMM2.1) in the water-cooled technology tray is initializing.
– The Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468 does not have enough power to turn on the
water-cooled technology tray.
– The IMM2.1 in the water-cooled technology tray is not communicating with the Chassis
Management Module.

• Flashing slowly: The water-cooled technology tray is connected to power through the Lenovo
NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468 and is ready to be turned on.
• Lit continuously: The water-cooled technology tray is connected to power through the Lenovo
NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468 and is turned on.
When the water-cooled technology tray is on, pressing this button causes an orderly shutdown of the
water-cooled technology tray so that it can be removed safely from the chassis. This includes shutting
down the operating system (if possible) and removing power from the water-cooled technology tray.
If an operating system is running, you might have to press the button for approximately 4 seconds to
initiate the shutdown.
Attention: Pressing the button for 4 seconds forces the operating system to shut down immediately.
Data loss is possible.
Locator LED
Use this blue LED to visually locate the server among other servers. This LED is used as a presence
detection as well. You can use Systems Director or IMM web interface to light this LED remotely. This
LED is controlled by the IMM.
Check log LED
When this yellow LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. Check the “Event logs” on page
62 for additional information.
System error LED
When this yellow LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred. An LED on the system board is
also lit to help isolate the error. This LED is controlled by the IMM.
KVM connector
Connect the console breakout cable to this connector.
Note: It is best practice to connect the console breakout cable to only one water-cooled technology tray
at a time in each Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure Type 5468.
Ethernet connectors
Use either of these connectors to connect the server to a network. When you enable shared Ethernet for
IMM2.1 in the Setup utility, you can access the IMM2.1 using either the Ethernet 1 or the systemmanagement Ethernet (default) connector. See Using the Setup utility for more information.
Ethernet link activity/status LED
When any of these LEDs is lit, they indicate that the server is transmitting to or receiving signals from the
Ethernet LAN that is connected to the Ethernet port that corresponds to that LED.
Management connector
Use this connector to connect the server to a network for full systems-management information control.
This connector is used only by the Integrated Management Module 2.1 (IMM2.1). A dedicated
management network 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.
