The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M4 Compute Node Type 5455

The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M4 Compute Node Type 5455 is a high-availability, scalable compute node that is optimized to support the next-generation microprocessor technology and is ideally suited for medium and large businesses.

The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M4 Compute Node Type 5455 is supported in the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure only.

Packaged with the compute node are software CDs that help you configure hardware, install device drivers, and install the operating system.

If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from the Lenovo website. The server might have features that are not described in the documentation that comes with the server, and the documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in the server documentation. To check for updates, go to Lenovo Support.

The compute node comes with a limited warranty. For information about the terms of the warranty and getting service and assistance, see the Warranty Information document for your compute node.

You can download the Lenovo ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD to help you configure the hardware, install device drivers, and install the operating system.

For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see Lenovo ServerProven compatability.

See the Rack Installation Instructions document on the Lenovo System x Documentation CD for complete rack installation and removal instructions.

You can obtain up-to-date information about the server and other Lenovo server products at Lenovo System x Information Center website. At Lenovo Support, you can create a personalized support page by identifying Lenovo products that are of interest to you. From this personalized page, you can subscribe to weekly email notifications about new technical documents, search for information and downloads, and access various administrative services.

The compute node might have features that are not described in the documentation that comes with the compute node. The documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those features. Technical updates might also be available to provide additional information that is not included in the compute node documentation. To obtain the most up-to-date documentation for this product, go to the IBM Flex System Information Center website.

You can subscribe to information updates that are specific to your compute node at Lenovo Support.

The model number and serial number are on the ID label on the bezel on the front of the compute node, and on a label on the bottom of the compute node that is visible when the compute node is not in the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure. If the compute node comes with an RFID tag, the RFID tag covers the ID label on the bezel on the front of the compute node, but you can open the RFID tag to see the ID label behind it.

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

The following illustration shows the QR code (Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M4 Compute Node):
