Introduction
The Lenovo Flex System x222 Compute Node Types 7916 and 2589 is an ultra high density, high performance server based on the ServerBlade architecture for medium to large businesses. The Flex System x222 Compute Node provides two separate compute nodes, upper and lower, in a single node bay. The upper and lower compute nodes must be installed together, as part of the Flex System x222 Compute Node; however, the upper and lower compute nodes are configured and operated independently.
The Flex System x222 Compute Node is supported in the Flex System Enterprise Chassis only. The Flex System x222 Compute Node requires the installation of scalable switch elements in the Flex System Enterprise Chassis to fully access the upper and lower compute nodes.
Packaged with the compute node are software CDs that help you configure hardware, install device drivers, and install the operating system.
To download the latest firmware and device drivers, go to the Fix Central website and select Flex System and Flex System x222.
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. This document is available on the Documentation CD.
You can obtain up-to-date information about the compute node at the Lenovo Systems website.
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 Flex Information Center website.
You can subscribe to information updates that are specific to your compute node at the My notifications website.
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 Flex System chassis. 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.
