Introduction

Each ThinkSystem SN550 compute node supports up to two 2.5-inch hot-swap Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), Serial ATA (SATA) or Non-Volatile Memory express (NVMe) drives.

When you receive your Lenovo ThinkSystem SN550 Type 7X16 compute node, refer to the Setup Guide to set up the compute node, install optional devices, and perform the initial configuration of the compute node. Meanwhile, the Maintenance Manual contains information to help you solve problems that might occur in your Lenovo ThinkSystem SN550 Type 7X16 compute node. It describes the diagnostic tools that come with the compute node, error codes and suggested actions, and instructions for replacing failing components.

The compute node comes with a limited warranty. For details about the warranty, see:Lenovo Statement of Limited Warranty

For details about your specific warranty, see:Lenovo Product Warranty Plans

Note
  1. The first generation Chassis Management Module (CMM1; 68Y7030) is not supported by the ThinkSystem SN550 compute node.
  2. The second generation Chassis Management Module (CMM2; 00FJ669) must be at firmware level 1.6.1 or above to support the ThinkSystem SN550 compute node. This applies to both CMMs that are installed in the chassis.
  3. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your model.

Identifying your compute node

When you contact Lenovo for help, the machine type, model, and serial number information helps support technicians to identify your compute node and provide faster service.

Record information about the compute node in the following table.

Table 1. Record of the system information.

The system service label, which is on the cover of the compute node, provides a quick response (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 (https://support.lenovo.com/p/servers/sn550.)
