Memory

The ThinkAgile MX Certified Nodes support Lenovo TruDDR4 memory. TruDDR4 memory uses the highest-quality components sourced from Tier 1 DRAM suppliers and only memory that meets strict requirements is selected. It is compatibility tested and tuned to maximize performance and reliability.

The MX Certified Nodes support up to 24 DIMMs with two processors. Each processor has six memory channels, and there are two DIMMs per channel. The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:

  • The nodes support RDIMMs or LRDIMMs.
  • Mixing different types of memory (RDIMMs and LRDIMMs) is not supported.
  • Mixing RDIMMs and RDIMMs of different capacity is supported (see Table 6 for details).
  • All DIMMs in the node operate at the same speed up to 2666 MHz, which is determined by the maximum memory speed supported by the specific processor.
    Note: Maximum memory speed can be achieved when Max performance mode is enabled in UEFI.
  • The following maximum memory capacities supported by the node:
    • RDIMMs: 768 GB (384 GB per processor).
    • LRDIMMs: 1.5 TB (768 GB per processor).

The following memory protection technologies are supported:

  • ECC
  • SDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
  • ADDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs; Gold and Platinum processors only)
  • Patrol scrubbing
  • Demand scrubbing

Network connectivity

The ThinkAgile MX Certified Nodes provide two- or four-port 10/25 GbE SFP28 or 100 GbE QSFP28, or one- or two-port 10/40 GbE QSFP+ network connectivity with the PCIe Ethernet adapters. Optionally, a LOM card can be selected to provide two- or four-port 1 GbE RJ-45, or 1/10 GbE RJ-45, or 10 GbE SFP+ external network connectivity to the cluster.

The following table lists the network adapters available for selection.

Configuration notes:

  • A minimum of one and a maximum of two PCIe network adapters can be selected. If two PCIe network adapters are used, they must be of the same model.
  • In the configurations with 12x NVMe PCIe drive bays, a maximum of one 100 GbE network adapter can be selected.
  • The selection of a LOM card is optional (a LOM card is not supported for RDMA storage traffic and can be used only for the external network connectivity to the cluster).
  • A two-node cluster supports direct node-to-node (no external switch is needed) or switched (an external switch is needed) network connectivity with the network ports on the PCIe network adapters. For three or more nodes, an external switch is required.
  • Supported transceivers or DAC cables should be purchased for the SFP+ and SFP28 network adapter ports, supported active optical cables should be purchased for the QSFP28 ports, and UTP Category 6 or Category 5e cables should be purchased for the 10 GbE (Cat6) or 1 GbE (Cat5e or Cat6) RJ-45 network adapter ports. The maximum number of cables that are supported per adapter equals the quantity of the adapter ports, and all adapter ports must have the same type of the cable selected.

    The following transceiver and cables can be purchased:

Warranty and support

The ThinkAgile MX Certified Nodes can be configured with a three-, four-, or five-year hardware warranty and various levels of service coverage with a well-defined scope of services, including service hours, response time, term of service, and service agreement terms and conditions.

The base warranty provides 9x5 Next Business Day response with parts delivered. Lenovo’s additional support services provide a sophisticated, unified support structure for a customer's data center, with an experience consistently ranked number one in customer satisfaction worldwide.

The following Lenovo support services are available for selection:

  • Warranty service level upgrades (Preconfigured Support) are available to meet the on-site response time targets that match the criticality of customer's systems:
    • 3, 4, or 5 years of service coverage.
    • 1-year or 2-year post-warranty extensions.
    • Foundation Service: 9x5 service coverage with next business day onsite response, with optional YourDrive YourData.
    • Essential Service: 24x7 service coverage with 4-hour onsite response or 24-hour committed repair (available only in select regions), bundled with YourDrive YourData.
    • Advanced Service: 24x7 service coverage with 2-hour onsite response or 6-hour committed repair (available only in select regions), bundled with YourDrive YourData.
  • Managed Services

    Lenovo Managed Services provide continuous 24x7 remote monitoring (plus 24x7 call center availability) and proactive management of a customer's data center using state of the art tools, systems, and practices by a team of highly skilled and experienced Lenovo services professionals.

    Quarterly reviews check error logs, verify firmware and operating system device driver levels, and software as needed. Lenovo will also maintain records of latest patches, critical updates, and firmware levels, to ensure customer's systems are providing business value through optimized performance.

  • Technical Account Management (TAM)

    A Lenovo Technical Account Manager helps customers optimize operations of their data centers based on a deep understanding of customer's business. Customers gain direct access to a Lenovo TAM, who serves as their single point of contact to expedite service requests, provide status updates, and furnish reports to track incidents over time. Also, a TAM helps proactively make service recommendations and manage service relationship with Lenovo to make certain that customer's needs are met.

  • Enterprise Software Support

    Lenovo Enterprise Software Support is an additional support service that provides customers with software support on Microsoft, Red Hat, SUSE, and VMWare applications and systems.

  • YourDrive YourData

    Lenovo’s YourDrive YourData service is a multi-drive retention offering that ensures that customer's data is always under their control, regardless of the number of drives that are installed in their Lenovo server. In the unlikely event of a drive failure, customers retain possession of their drive while Lenovo replaces the failed drive part. Customer's data stays safely on customer premises, in their hands. The YourDrive YourData service can be purchased in convenient bundles with Foundation, Essential, or Advanced services.

  • Health Check

    Having a trusted partner who can perform regular and detailed health checks is central to maintaining efficiency and ensuring that customer systems and business are always running at their best. Health Check supports Lenovo-branded server, storage, and networking devices, as well as select Lenovo-supported products from other vendors that are sold by Lenovo or a Lenovo-Authorized Reseller.

Some regions might have different warranty terms and conditions than the standard warranty. This is due to local business practices or laws in the specific region. Local service teams can assist in explaining region-specific terms when needed. Examples of region-specific warranty terms are second or longer business day parts delivery or parts-only base warranty.

If warranty terms and conditions include onsite labor for repair or replacement of parts, Lenovo will dispatch a service technician to the customer site to perform the replacement. Onsite labor under base warranty is limited to labor for replacement of parts that have been determined to be field-replaceable units (FRUs). Parts that are determined to be customer-replaceable units (CRUs) do not include onsite labor under base warranty.

If warranty terms include parts-only base warranty, Lenovo is responsible for delivering only replacement parts that are under base warranty (including FRUs) that will be sent to a requested location for self-service. Parts-only service does not include a service technician being dispatched onsite. Parts must be changed at customer’s own cost and labor and defective parts must be returned following the instructions supplied with the spare parts.

Lenovo support services are region-specific. Not all support services are available in every region. For information about Lenovo support services that are available in a specific region, refer to the following resources:

For service definitions, region-specific details, and service limitations, refer to the following documents:
