Memory options

The ThinkServer RD450 supports DDR4 memory. DDR4 memory offers many benefits over older generation DDR3 memory. DDR4 operates at a lower voltage than DDR3 (1.2V vs. 1.35V or 1.5V) and as a result, offers significant power savings. In addition, the DDR4 DIMMs used with Xeon E5 v4 processors have higher memory transfer speeds of up to 2400 MT/s, depending on the memory configuration.

Lenovo offers Registered DIMMs (RDIMM) and Load Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMM) that use a buffer to reduce memory bus loading, which enables greater memory capacities to be achieved.

The following table lists the DDR4 memory options and ordering information.

Protection against data loss is provided through the following memory RAS features:

  • ECC
  • Patrol and Demand Scrubbing
  • Sparing
  • Mirroring
  • Lockstep Mode

Configuration Guidelines

Memory can be configured to meet various needs and workloads subject to the following general rules:

  • Mixing memory type (RDIMM, LRDIMM) is not supported.
  • DIMM capacities and rank can be mixed.

When you are populating for the various RAS modes the following rules apply:

  • If memory mirroring or lockstep is used, DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type, size, and rank.
  • If memory sparing is used, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory; therefore, Single Rank DIMMs cannot be used. DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type, size, and rank.

Memory Optimization

The memory subsystem can be optimized for various factors, including performance, capacity, or power consumption. Refer to the following guidelines when you are selecting memory options:

  • Guidelines for maximum memory performance:
    • Use all available memory channels (four per processor, eight total per system).
    • Use identical DIMM populations in size and speed across channels.
    • Populate both processors with equal amounts of memory.
    • Use the same number of ranks that are populated per channel.
    • Have at least two ranks available on each channel.
  • Guidelines for lowest memory energy consumption
    • Use fewer, higher capacity DIMMs. For example, a configuration of 8x 16 GB DIMMs often has lower power requirements than a configuration of 16x 8 GB DIMMs, despite the same capacity.
    • Populating more DIMMs per channel—but using fewer channels (the opposite of the preceding bullet)—further reduces overall system energy use, but at the cost of significant performance reduction.

Internal storage

The RD450 supports chassis configurations with either 2.5-inch drive bays or 3.5-inch drive bays. Some configurations also support an optical drive or both an optical drive and an internal LTO6 tape drive. The seven available drive configurations are shown in the following figure (the 4th diagram indicates two of the seven configurations).

The AnyRAID 110i is a pass-through card that routes the embedded controller in the Intel C610 PCH to the backplane. Supports SATA drives only. RAID support only with 6 drives; remaining 2 drives (if installed) must be configured as single drives (AHCI mode).
  • AnyRAID 510i is an IOC-based RAID card that offers an affordable hardware controller that delivers performance and reliability. It supports 6 GB SAS & SATA drives and RAID 0/1/10 with optional RAID 5/50. Maximum 8 drives.
  • AnyRAID 720i is a RoC-based 12Gb SAS/SATA controller that offers advanced RAID configurations, protection, and software. It supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with optional 1 GB cache (without flash), or 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB cache each with CacheVault (flash), CacheCade, and FastPath support. Maximum 8 drives.
  • AnyRAID 720ix is similar to the 720i but also includes a SAS Expander to support up to 24 drives. It is a 12 GB SAS/SATA controller with support for RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60. Cache is required, either 1 GB cache (without flash), or 1 GB, 2GB or 4GB cache each with CacheVault (flash), CacheCade, and FastPath support.

Note: If the server configuration includes an internal LTO6 tape drive, the AnyRAID 720ix is required.

Models with 3.5-inch drives (Configs 1 & 2 in the Backplane table) as well as models with 2.5-inch drives and a SAS backplane (Config 4) support either an embedded controller or a PCIe RAID adapter. Supported controllers are as follows:

  • Embedded RAID 110i controller in the Intel C610 PCH routed via cable to the backplane. Supports SATA drives only. RAID support only with 6 drives; remaining 2 drives (if installed) must be configured as single drives (AHCI mode).
  • RAID 520i PCIe is an IOC-based RAID card that delivers 12 Gb performance and reliability. It supports 12 GB SAS & SATA drives and RAID 0/1/10 with optional RAID 5/50.
  • RAID 720i PCIe is a 12 Gb adapter similar to the AnyRAID 720i but in a regular PCIe form factor. It supports RAID 0/1/5/6/10/50/60 with optional 1 GB cache (without flash), or 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB cache each with CacheVault (flash), CacheCade, and FastPath support.

I/O expansion options

The RD450 supports up to six slots, depending on the riser cards installed and the number of processors installed. With one CPU, three slots are available with two riser cards (slots 1, 2, and 5). The slots are numbered as follows:

  1. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) full-height half-length slot (riser 1)
  2. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) full-height half-length slot (riser 1)
  3. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (riser 2, requires CPU 2)
  4. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (riser 2, requires CPU 2)
  5. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (riser 2)
  6. PCIe 3.0 x8 (x16 mechanical) Low Profile slot (requires CPU 2)

The following figure shows the location of the slots, as seen from the rear of the server.

Systems management

A significant factor in the total cost of a server’s ownership is the processes that are used for administering the system hardware, software, and support over the life of the server. ThinkServer systems management offerings are based on industry standards, which enable integration into existing IT environments. Lenovo’s tools emphasize provisioning and operational management, which is a large portion of the system's ongoing cost. Optional upgrades provide more management capabilities to optimize performance and usage of the servers.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized resource management solution designed to reduce complexity, speed response, and enhance the availability of Lenovo systems and solutions.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management for ThinkServer, System x, and Flex System servers. The administration dashboard, shown in the following figure, based on HTML 5, allows fast location of resources so tasks can be run quickly.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Figure 7. Lenovo XClarity Administrator dashboard

Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not include any agent software that is installed on the managed endpoints, there are no CPU cycles spent on agent execution and no memory is used, which means that up to 1GB of RAM and 1 - 2% CPU usage is saved, compared to a typical managed system where an agent is required.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator currently supports only a subset of function with ThinkServer systems:

  • Discovery
  • Inventory
  • Monitoring & alerting
  • Call home

Functions that are not currently supported are:

  • Centralized user management
  • Cryptography modes, server certificates, and encapsulation
  • Configuration patterns

ThinkServer System Manager

ThinkServer System Manager (TSM) is Lenovo’s integrated systems management technology is standard on all next-generation ThinkServer systems. TSM operates independently of the server. It provides hardware-based, out-of-band remote access and management to ThinkServer systems, regardless of the server’s power state or the condition of the operating system.

TSM is a fully featured management solution that is built on open industry standards that can help reduce related IT expenses by increasing a server administrator’s productivity. TSM provides important health and status information to systems administrators. It also enables administrators to remotely perform most functions that otherwise require a visit to the server.

TSM can be used as part of any server systems management infrastructure and is well-suited for customers who are deploying servers in remote branches, limited-access data centers, and where one-on one remote-control capability is required. Lenovo’s design advancements address key system management concerns. In particular, TSM is a low-cost solution that supports heterogeneous environments, provides full remote management capability, and supports remote deployment.

Remote access to TSM is via a dedicated systems management Ethernet port on the rear of the server. Alternatively, you can go to UEFI and configure the first of the two system Gigabit Ethernet ports to be shared between TSM and the installed operating system.

TSM provides the following key features:

  • Remote server management through the following industry standard interfaces:
    • Secure HTML5 browser-based UI that is suitable for today’s mobile devices and tablets
    • IPMI 2.0
    • DCMI 1.0
    • WS-MAN
    • SMASH-CLP
    • SNMP v3 (Gets only)
  • A PowerShell CLI provides increased flexibility and scripting capabilities
  • Automatic out-of-band notification and alerts from:
    • SNMP Traps
    • SMTP (email) CIM indications
  • Configurable via web and PowerShell CLI, IPMI, WS-Man, and SMASH-CLI interfaces

ThinkServer System Manager Premium, which is available as an optional hardware upgrade key, enables the following advanced features:

  • A remote console that provides complete remote control of the server. A video viewer enables graphical console, keyboard, and mouse redirection of the server.
  • Remote media capability that enables the attachment of local CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, USB mass storage devices, ISO images, and IMG images (which are created from local folders) to the remote server.
  • License for Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager.

The following table lists ThinkServer System Manager Premium ordering information.

ThinkServer Deployment Manager

Embedded within every Lenovo next-generation ThinkServer system, ThinkServer Deployment Manager is a tools suite that provides a complete set of provisioning capabilities from a single interface. ThinkServer Deployment Manager automates many of the tasks that are associated with server provisioning, including hardware configuration, operating system deployment, device drivers (for operating system installation), firmware updates, and server cloning. Because ThinkServer Deployment Manager is integrated into the UEFI preboot environment, the tools operate independently of the server and are available regardless of system’s operational state. Formatting a system drive or reinstalling the operating system does not remove the tools, and there are no CDs or DVDs to retrieve or store, which affects user experience or productivity.

As a premier client, you have a dedicated finance specialist who manages your account through its life, from first invoice through asset return or purchase.
