Features

Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key considerations in the design of your solution. These design features make it possible for you to customize the system hardware to meet your needs today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future.

Your solution implements the following features and technologies:

  • System Management Module 3 (SMM3)

    The hot-swappable System Management Module 3 (SMM3) is the management device for the enclosure. SMM 3 provides integrated systems management functions and controls the power of the enclosure. It also provides remote browser and CLI-based user interfaces for remote access via the dedicated Gigabit Ethernet port. Remote access is to both the management functions of the enclosure as well as the XClarity Controller (XCC) in each server.

  • Integrated network support

    SMM 3 module installed in the enclosure comes with two Ethernet ports to connect to SMM 3 management tool. Each tray is equipped with specific integrated functions and I/O connectors, for details, see Technical Specifications in the User Guide of each high-density server.

  • Lightpath Diagnostics

    Lightpath Diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information about the Lightpath Diagnostics, see Troubleshooting by system LEDs and diagnostics display.

  • Mobile access to Lenovo Service Information website

    The solution provides a QR code on the system service label, which is on the inside of the DWC tray cover, that you can scan using a QR code reader and scanner with a mobile device to get quick access to the Lenovo Service Information website. The Lenovo Service Information website provides additional information for parts installation, replacement videos, and error codes for solution support.

  • Active Energy Manager

    Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager is a power and temperature management solution for data centers. You can monitor and manage the power consumption and temperature of Converged, NeXtScale, System x, and ThinkServer solutions, and improve energy efficiency using Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager.

  • Optional power capabilities

    Depending on the system configurations, the solution requires up to four 15000W DWC Power Conversion Station (PCS) installed in the enclosure.
    Note
    Do not mix PCS in the same unit of solution.
