Enclosure support

The SD530 is supported in all models of the D2 Enclosure or Modular Enclosure. The number of servers that are supported in each chassis depends on the TDP value of the processors that are used in the servers, the number and capacity of power supplies installed (1100W, 1600W or 2000W), and the AC input voltage (100 - 127V or 200 - 240V).

All servers installed in an enclosure must have the same drive backplane (for example, all four servers use the 6-drive backplane)

The enclosure supports oversubscription and power supply redundancy options to ensure efficient use of the available system power. By using oversubscription, users can make the most of the extra power from the redundant power supplies when the power supplies are in healthy condition.

Use Lenovo Capacity Planner to determine the exact power needs of the configuration:
https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/solutions-and-software/software/lenovo-capacity-planner/solutions/ht504651

System power consumption is highly dependent on configuration, workload, and ambient temperature. Lenovo recommends that customers use Lenovo Capacity Planner to select the power supplies best suited for their deployment requirements.

Processors

The SD530 supports the second-gneration Intel Xeon Scalable processors that are listed in the following table. The server supports one or two processors. 

Topics in this section:

First generation processors: The SD530 also supports first-generation Xeon Scalable processors. For details, see https://lenovopress.com/lp0635.

All supported processors have the following characteristics:

  • Second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (formerly codenamed "Cascade Lake")
  • 14 nm process technology
  • Six DDR4 memory channels
  • 48 PCIe 3.0 I/O lanes
  • 1 MB L2 cache
  • 1.375 MB or more L3 cache per core
  • Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
  • Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
  • Intel Advanced Vector Extensions 512 (AVX-512)
  • Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) links at up to 10.4 GT/s

Some processors include a suffix letter in the processor model number:

  • L: Large memory tier (supports total memory up to 4.5TB per processor)
  • M: Medium memory tier (supports total memory up to 2TB per processor)
  • N: NFV optimized
  • R: Refresh
  • S: Search optimized
  • T: High Tcase
  • U: Single socket
  • V: VM Density optimized
  • Y: Speed Select

Processors with a suffix other than L or M, as well as those without a suffix, support up to 1TB per processor.

B suffix: B is not an official suffix, but instead used by Intel to distinguish between the Xeon Gold 5218 and the Xeon Gold 5218B processors. These two processor models have the same core counts, frequencies, and features, however they are based on different die configurations. You should not install 5218 and 5218B processors in the same server.

Additional processor support: Additional processors, including the 6246R, may be supported on the SD530 as part of a Lenovo Scalable Infrastructure (LeSI) configuration. See the LeSI product guide for information, https://lenovopress.com/lp0900.

Continued support for 1st Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors

The SD530 also continues to support the 1st Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (formerly codenamed "Skylake") listed in the following table.

Table 19. Long-life 1st Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors
Part number Feature code Description

* Only available as a field upgrade for existing customers. Not available in CTO (configure to order) configurations.

For specifications of these processors, see the Intel Xeon Scalable Processor Reference for Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers:
https://lenovopress.com/lp1262-intel-xeon-sp-processor-reference#term=SKL

Memory capacity of processors

Second-generation Xeon Scalable processors are limited to the amount of memory they can address, as follows:

  • Processors with an L suffix (eg 8280L): Up to 4.5 TB per processor
  • Processors with an M suffix (eg 8280M): Up to 2 TB per processor (now withdrawn)
  • All other processors: Up to 1 TB per processor

The calculation of the total memory per processor includes both the system memory DIMMs and the Persistent Memory DCPMMs installed in the server.

For example:

  • A configuration using 8x 64GB DIMMs per processor is 512 GB per processor, which means that neither an M nor an L processor is required
  • A configuration using 6x 32GB DIMMs + 2x 256GB DCPMMs is a total of 1.1875 TB which means an M processor is required
  • A configuration using 6x 64GB DIMMs + 2x 512GB DCPMMs is a total of 1.375 TB which means an M processor is required

Tip: There are no memory configurations of the SD530 that require an L-suffix processor.

The processors in the SD530 require specific heatsinks depending on their thermal profile of the processor:

  • 85mm heatsinks are used on processors with low thermal requirements. This heatsink allows the use of 16 DIMMs and the use of a storage adapter in the PCIe slot at the rear of the server
  • 108mm heatsinks are used on CPU 1 when the processors installed have medium thermal requirements. Due to its shape, this heatsink limits the number of DIMMs to 12. A storage adapter can be used with these processors. Only CPU 1 (rear) needs this larger heatsink; CPU 2 (front) uses an 85mm heatsink.
  • Thermal Transfer Module heatsinks are used on CPU 1 when the processors installed have high thermal requirements. The Thermal Transfer Module is two heatsinks connected together via thermal pipes as shown in the following figure. Due to its shape, this heatsink prevents an adapter (RAID or HBA) from being installed in PCIe slot 1 at the rear of the server and limits the number of DIMMs to 12. CPU 2 will use a larger 102mm heatsink in such configurations.

The Thermal Transfer Module (TTM) heatsink is shown in the following figure. For additional information, see the Lenovo Press article, The Benefits of Lenovo Thermal Transfer Module Technology in ThinkSystem SD530 Servers, https://lenovopress.com/lp0922.

Lenovo Thermal Transfer Module
Figure 8. Thermal Transfer Module

The following table lists the heatsink used for each processor model, and the resulting support for 16 DIMMs and support for a RAID adapter or HBA. The table also lists which processors (those with an M suffix) that support more than 768 GB per processor (1.5TB for two processors).

16 DIMM support: The use of 16 DIMMs requires that smaller heatsinks be used. As a result, only a subset of processors support 16 DIMMs (8 DIMMs per processor), as noted in the table below. All others are limited to 12 DIMMs (6 DIMMs processors).

Drive bay support: Only a subset of processors support 6 drive bays. See the Drive bays and backplanes section for details.

Storage adapter support: Some procesors require the larger T-shaped Thermal Transfer Module heatsink which precludes the use of the RAID adapter or HBA installed in the dedicated slot at the rear of the server.

UEFI operating modes

The SD530 offers preset operating modes that affect energy consumption and performance. These modes are a collection of predefined low-level UEFI settings that simplify the task of tuning the server to suit your business and workload requirements.

The following table lists the feature codes that allow you to specify the mode you wish to preset in the factory for CTO orders.

UK and EU customers: For compliance with the ERP Lot9 regulation, you should select feature BFYE. For some systems, you may not be able to make a selection, in which case, it will be automatically derived by the configurator.

Table 22. UEFI operating mode presets in DCSC
Feature code Description
BFYB Operating mode selection for: "Maximum Performance Mode"
BFYC Operating mode selection for: "Minimal Power Mode"
BFYD Operating mode selection for: "Efficiency Favoring Power Savings Mode"
BFYE Operating mode selection for: "Efficiency - Favoring Performance Mode"

The preset modes for the SD530 are as follows:

  • Maximum Performance Mode (feature BFYB): Achieves maximum performance but with higher power consumption and lower energy efficiency.
  • Minimal Power Mode (feature BFYC): Minimize the absolute power consumption of the system.
  • Efficiency Favoring Power Savings Mode (feature BFYD): Maximize the performance/watt efficiency with a bias towards power savings. This is the favored mode for SPECpower benchmark testing, for example.
  • Efficiency Favoring Performance Mode (feature BFYE): Maximize the performance/watt efficiency with a bias towards performance. This is the favored mode for Energy Star certification, for example.

For details about these preset modes, and all other performance and power efficiency UEFI settings offered in the SD530, see the paper "Tuning UEFI Settings for Performance and Energy Efficiency on Intel Xeon Scalable Processor-Based ThinkSystem Servers", available from https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1477.

Memory options

The SD530 with second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory operating at up to 2933 MHz. The SD530 supports up to 6 or 8 DIMMs per processor, for a total of 12 or 16 DIMMs when two processors are installed. The total DIMMs supported depends on the processor selected, as described in the Processor options section.

The SD530 with second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors also supports Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory, as described in the Persistent Memory section.

With second-generation processors, the server supports these memory DIMMs:

  • 2666 MHz DIMMs, that operate at 2666 MHz both at 1 DIMM per channel and 2 DIMMs per channel
  • 2933 MHz DIMMs, that operate at 2933 MHz at 1 DIMM per channel, and at 2666 MHz at 2 DIMMs per channel

Note that if the processor selected has a lower memory bus speed (eg 2133 MHz or 2400 MHz), then all DIMMs will operate at lower speed, even if the DIMMs are rated for 2666 MHz or 2933 MHz. See the Processor features section for details.

The following table lists the memory options that are available for the server.

Lenovo TruDDR4 memory uses the highest quality components that are sourced from Tier 1 DRAM suppliers and only memory that meets the strict requirements of Lenovo is selected. It is compatibility tested and tuned to maximize performance and reliability. From a service and support standpoint, Lenovo TruDDR4 memory automatically assumes the system warranty, and Lenovo provides service and support worldwide.

7X77A01304 AUND ThinkSystem 32GB TruDDR4 2666 MHz (2Rx4 1.2V) RDIMM 16 (8 per processor)

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:

  • The server supports RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs. UDIMMs are not supported.
  • Mixing RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs is not supported.
  • Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is supported.
  • Mixing of 2666 MHz and 2933 MHz is supported, however, all installed memory will operate at the lowest speed.

For best performance, consider the following:

  • Ensure the memory installed is at least the same speed as the memory bus of the selected processor.
  • Populate memory DIMMs in quantities of 6 or 12 per processor, so that all memory channels are used.
  • When mixing 16 GB and 32 GB DIMMs in the same configuration, use 16GB 2Rx8 DIMMs instead of 16 GB 1Rx4 DIMMs for better performance.
  • Populate memory channels so they all have the same total memory capacity.
  • Ensure all memory controllers on a processor socket have the same DIMM configuration.
  • All processor sockets on the same physical server should have the same DIMM configuration.

The following memory protection technologies are supported:

  • ECC
  • SDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs; look for "x4" in the DIMM description)
  • ADDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
  • Memory mirroring
  • Memory rank sparing

If memory channel mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs or sets of three (minimum of one pair or set of three per processor), and all DIMMs in the pair or set of three must be identical in type and size. 50% of the installed capacity is available to the operating system.

If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of two single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need to be identical). In rank sparing mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The largest rank in the channel will be automatically selected as the spare rank. The amount of memory available to the operating system depends on the number, capacity and rank counts of the DIMMs installed.

Persistent Memory

The SD530 server supports Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory, a new class of memory and storage technology explicitly architected for data center usage. Persistent Memory offers significantly lower latency than fetching data from SSDs, even NVMe SSDs, and offers higher capacities than system memory.

Using Lenovo ThinkSystem servers running applications that are tuned for Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory will result in lower data latency compared to solid-state drive technology. When data is stored closer to the processor on nonvolatile media, applications can see significant overall improvement in performance. 

The following table lists the ordering information for the DC Persistent Memory modules (DCPMMs).

  • Only the Platinum level, Gold level, and the Silver 4215 processor models support DCPMMs. All other Silver and all Bronze level processors do not support DCPMMs. See the Processor features section for details.
  • All installed DCPMMs must be the same size. Mixing DCPMMs of different capacities is not supported
  • DCPMMs are installed in the black DIMM slots (see the Internal view of the server)
  • Minimum 2 TruDDR4 DIMMs per processor (1 per memory controller)
  • For Memory Mode, minimum 2 DCPMMs per processor (install 1 per memory controller)
  • For App Direct Mode, mimimum 1 DCPMM installed in the server (any processor)
  • When either Memory Mode or Mixed Mode is used, the ratio of memory to DCPMMs must be between 1:16 and 1:4, but the recommended ratio is 1:4 for the best performance. For example, 6x 16GB DIMMs + 2x 256GB DCPMMs is a ratio of 1:5.33. This ratio requirement does not apply to App Direct mode.
  • In configurations with DCPMMs installed, memory mirroring is supported, with two restrictions:
    • Mirroring is only enabled on the DRAM DIMMs installed in the server; The DCPMMs themselves do not support mirroring.
    • Only App Direct mode is supported. Memory mirroring cannot be enabled when DCPMMs are in Memory Mode or Mixed Mode.
  • Memory sparing is not supported with DCPMMs installed

DCPMMs offer the following memory protection technologies:

  • ECC
  • SDDC
  • DDDC
  • Patrol scrubbing
  • Demand scrubbing

In the App Direct mode, the DCPMMs also support memory mirroring that is performed by the processor's integrated memory controllers. Memory mirroring is not supported in Memory Mode or Mixed Mode. Memory rank sparing is not supported by DCPMMs in any mode.

Internal storage

The SD530 supports up to six 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, all of which are accessible from the front of the server.

In this section:

Drive bays and backplanes

The server supports three different drive bay configurations, all comprised of 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays:

  • Six drive bays, four bays supporting SAS or SATA drives and two Lenovo AnyBay bays, supporting NVMe, SAS or SATA drives
  • Five drive bays, three of which are SAS/SATA and two are AnyBay bays. This configuration also includes a KVM breakout module to provide front-accessible VGA, Serial and USB ports.
  • Four drive bays, all of which are SAS/SATA drive bays or all of which are NVMe. These configurations also support an optional KVM breakout module.

The three configurations are shown in the following figure. When the AnyBay backplane is selected the rightmost two drives are the AnyBay drive bays. AnyBay is the term for a bay with a U.2 connector that has both SAS/SATA and NVMe connections. It is designed to support either a SAS, SATA or NVMe drive.

Enclosure requirement: All servers installed in an enclosure must have the same drive backplane (for example, all four servers use the 6-drive backplane).

Drive bay configurations of the SD530
Figure 9. Drive bay configurations of the SD530

The drive bay configurations are made available through the use of either a 2x3 SAS/SATA backplane, 2x3 AnyBay backplane, a 2x2 SAS/SATA backplane or a 2x2 NVMe backplane. Ordering details are listed in the following table.

Processor 2 needed for AnyBay: The use of AnyBay or NVMe requires that processor 2 be installed. Processor 2 provides the necessary PCIe connectivity.

Adapters and cabling

The SD530 supports the following backplane connectivity:

  • Hardware RAID adapter installed in a dedicated slot at the back of the server - supporting SAS or SATA drives
  • Software RAID from the embedded Intel RSTe controller - supporting only SATA drives
  • PCIe NVMe connectivity for the AnyBay backplane from the PCIe connector #3 on the system board which is routed from Processor 2.
  • PCIe NVMe connectivity for the 2x2 NVMe backplane from the PCIe connectors #3 and #4 on the system board which is routed from Processor 2.

These connectors are shown in the Internal view of the server in the Components and connectors section.

Tip: The controllers are described in detail in the Controllers for internal storage section.

M.2 drives

The server supports one or two M.2 form-factor SATA drives for use as an operating system boot solution. With two M.2 drives configured, the drives are configured by default as a RAID-1 mirrored pair for redundancy.

The M.2 drives install into an M.2 adapter which in turn is installed in a dedicated slot on the system board. See the internal view of the server in the Components and connectors section for the location of the M.2 slot.

There are two M.2 adapters supported, as listed in the following table.

Table 27. M.2 components

For details about M.2 components, see the ThinkSystem M.2 Drives and M.2 Adapters product guide:
https://lenovopress.com/lp0769-thinksystem-m2-drives-adapters

Controllers for internal storage

The SD530 supports the following RAID controllers for internal storage:

  • 12 Gb SAS/SATA RAID adapter installed in a dedicated slot
  • 12 Gb SAS/SATA HBA installed in a dedicated slot
  • Intel RSTe 6 Gb SATA software RAID controller integrated in the the Intel chipset

Storage adapters with high-end processors: The use of processors with a high thermal profile such as the 205W processors preclude the use of the RAID adapter or the HBA. See Processor options for specifics. With such processors, only the onboard Intel RSTe 6 Gb SATA software RAID controller can be used.

Virtualization support: The onboard SATA ports can be used with virtualization hypervisors, including VMware ESXi, Linux KVM, Xen, and Microsoft Hyper-V, however support is limited to AHCI (non-RAID) mode. RSTe mode is not supported with virtualization hypervisors.

Internal tape drive

The server does not support internal tape drive options.

Optical drive

The server supports the external USB optical drive listed in the following table.

Table 38. External optical drive
Part number Feature code Description
7XA7A05926 AVV8 ThinkSystem External USB DVD RW Optical Disk Drive

The drive is based on the Lenovo Slim DVD Burner DB65 drive and supports the following formats: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-ROM, DVD-R DL, CD-RW, CD-R, CD-ROM.

I/O expansion options

The I/O slots for the SD530 nodes are housed in the I/O shuttle in the rear of the enclosure. See the Components and connectors section for the location.

Each SD530 supports internally either:

  • One PCIe 3.0 x16 low-profile adapter slot, or
  • Two PCIe 3.0 x8 low-profile adapter slot

Ordering information is as follows:

Table 39. I/O shuttle ordering information
Part number Feature code Description
CTO only AUY7 ThinkSystem D2 8-slot x8 Shuttle ASM
CTO only AUY8 ThinkSystem D2 4-slot x16 Shuttle

The following figure shows the locations of the slots.

Location of the I/O slots
Figure 10. Location of the PCIe slots at the rear of the Enclosure

A key difference between the two choices, other than the difference in PCIe lane width is which servers must be powered off to perform service on the I/O adapter slots:

  • Adding or replacing an adapter in the x16 slot only requires the one SD530 node to be powered off. The other three servers can remain fully operational.
  • Adding or replacing an adapter in any x8 slot requires that all four SD530 nodes be powered off.

The SD530 also supports the addition of a GPU Tray with two full-length full-height slots. Details about the GPU Tray are in the GPU Tray and GPU adapters section.

SharedIO

SharedIO is a new feature of the SD530 which implements Mellanox Multi-Host technology. With SharedIO, a Mellanox VPI adapter is installed in a slot in one SD530 server and an auxiliary adapter is installed in a slot in second server in the same enclosure. The result is that the two servers share the network connection of the VPI adapter with significant savings both in the cost of the adapters but also the cost of switch ports.

The Mellanox SharedIO Adapter and Auxiliary Card are shown in the following figure.

Lenovo ThinkSystem SharedIO ConnectX-5 Adapter
Figure 11. Lenovo ThinkSystem SharedIO ConnectX-5 Adapter

The feature takes advantage of the design of the D2 Enclosure's x8 shuttle where the slots of two of the SD530 servers are adjacent. The primary and auxiliary adapters are installed in the slots as shown in the following figure.

  • When the SharedIO adapters are installed, the other slots (1A, 2A, 3B, 4B) are reserved and are not available for use with any other adapters.
  • The SharedIO adapters are not supported with the x16 shuttle.

Ordering information for the adapters is in the Network adapters section.

Network adapters

Each SD530 has two dedicated 10Gb ports routed to the 8-port Ethernet I/O Module (EIOM) at the rear of the enclosure as shown in below. The ports are connected to the integrated Intel Ethernet Connection X722 controller. 

Note: The EIOM is optional and can be deselected in the configurator. If the EIOM is not used, then the two 10 GbE ports are not accessible. The EIOM can be added later as a field upgrade.

The ports are assigned as shown in the following figure.

Network port numbering

The X722 has the following features:

  • Integrated into the Intel PCH chipset
  • Offers VXLAN/NVGRE Hardware Offloads
  • Supports VMDq and SR-IOV for advanced virtualization
  • Supports iWarp RDMA

Note: No support for 10 Mbps or 100 MBps Ethernet connections.

For more information about the X722 controller, see the Lenovo Press product guide:

Two power supplies are standard and maximum. You cannot mix power supplies.

The 1100W power supply is auto-sensing and supports both 110V AC (100-127V 50/60 Hz) and 220V AC (200-240V 50/60 Hz) power. The 1600 W and 2000 W power supplies only supports 220V AC power. In China only, all power supplies also support 240V DC.

Power supply options do not include a power cord. For models of the D2 Enclosure and Modular Enclosure, the inclusion of a power cords is model dependent. Configure-to-order models can be configured without a power cord if desired.

Remote management

The D2 Enclosure (machine type 7X20) includes a System Management Module (SMM), installed in the rear of the enclosure. See Figure 3 for the location of the SMM. The SMM provides remote management via a Gigabit Ethernet port of both the enclosure and the individual servers.

The following figure shows the LEDs and connectors of the SMM.

System management module
Figure 17. System management module

The SMM has the following ports and LEDs:

  • RJ45 for remote management access
  • USB port for service
  • System error LED (yellow)
  • Identification LED (blue)
  • Status LED (green)
  • System power LED (green)

The Modular Enclosure (machine type 7X22) has a dual-port SMM standard instead of the single-port SMM. The dual-port SMM is identical to the single-port SMM except that the dual-port SMM contains two RJ45 Ethernet ports instead of one port and supports daisy-chaining. The D2 Enclosure can be upgraded to the dual-port SMM in the field using the option part number listed in the following table.

Table 51. Part number information for the dual-port SMM (for D2 Enclosure only)
Part number Feature code Description
4M17A09510 AXKS ThinkSystem Dual Ethernet Port SMM

The following figure shows the dual-port SMM on the left and the standard (single-port) SMM on the right.


Figure 18. Dual-port SMM and standard (single-port) SMM

The dual-port SMM provides the ability to daisy-chain the Ethernet management connections thereby reducing the number of ports you need in your management switches and reducing the overall cable density needed for systems management. With this feature you can connect the first SMM to your management network and the SMM in a second enclosure connects to the first SMM. The SMM in the third enclosure can then connect to the SMM in the second enclosure.

Up to 7 enclosures can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration, which means that with 4 servers in each node, a total of 28 servers can be managed remotely via one single Ethernet connection.

Notes:

  • If you are using IEEE 802.1D spanning tree protocol (STP) then at most 6 enclosures can be connected together
  • Do not form a loop with the network cabling. The dual-port SMM at the end of the chain should not be connected back to the switch that is connected to the top of the SMM chain.

For more information, see the Internal cable routing section of the SD530 Setup Guide at:
http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/7X21/cable_routing_6U_enclosure.html?cp=2_0_5_6_5

SMM functions

The SMM provides the following functions:

  • IPMI and Web interface for remote management of the enclosure
  • Remote connectivity to XCC controllers in each node in the enclosure
  • Node-level reporting and control (for example, node virtual reseat/reset)
  • Enclosure power management
  • Enclosure thermal management
  • Enclosure inventory

The USB service button and USB service port are used to gather service data in the event of an error. Pressing the service button copies First Failure Data Collection (FFDC) data to a USB key installed in the USB service port.

The reset button is used to perform an SMM reset (short press) or to restore the SMM back to factory defaults (press for 4+ seconds).

Supported interfaces

The SMM (both single-port and dual-port versions) can be accessed though a web browser interface and via Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0 commands.

The XClarity Controller (XCC) in each node also supports remote management, provided though the following interfaces:

  • Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0

Lenovo Financial Services

Why wait to obtain the technology you need now? No payments for 90 days and predictable, low monthly payments make it easy to budget for your Lenovo solution.

  • Flexible

    Our in-depth knowledge of the products, services and various market segments allows us to offer greater flexibility in structures, documentation and end of lease options.

  • 100% Solution Financing

    Financing your entire solution including hardware, software, and services, ensures more predictability in your project planning with fixed, manageable payments and low monthly payments.

  • Device as a Service (DaaS)

    Leverage latest technology to advance your business. Customized solutions aligned to your needs. Flexibility to add equipment to support growth. Protect your technology with Lenovo's Premier Support service.

  • 24/7 Asset management

    Manage your financed solutions with electronic access to your lease documents, payment histories, invoices and asset information.

  • Fair Market Value (FMV) and $1 Purchase Option Leases

    Maximize your purchasing power with our lowest cost option. An FMV lease offers lower monthly payments than loans or lease-to-own financing. Think of an FMV lease as a rental. You have the flexibility at the end of the lease term to return the equipment, continue leasing it, or purchase it for the fair market value. In a $1 Out Purchase Option lease, you own the equipment. It is a good option when you are confident you will use the equipment for an extended period beyond the finance term. Both lease types have merits depending on your needs. We can help you determine which option will best meet your technological and budgetary goals.

Ask your Lenovo Financial Services representative about this promotion and how to submit a credit application. For the majority of credit applicants, we have enough information to deliver an instant decision and send a notification within minutes.
