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 8260L): Up to 4.5 TB per processor
  • Processors with an M suffix (eg 8260M): Up to 2 TB per processor (now withdrawn)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 12x 64GB DIMMs per processor is a total of 768 GB, which means that neither an M nor an L processor is required
  • A configuration using 12x 128GB DIMMs per processor is a total of 1.5 TB, which means that an M processor is required
  • A configuration using 6x 32GB DIMMs + 6x 256GB DCPMMs is a total of 1.69 TB which means an M processor is required (an L processor may also be used)
  • A configuration using 6x 128GB DIMMs + 6x 512GB DCPMMs is a total of 3.75 TB which means an L processor is required

UEFI operating modes

The SR860 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 8. 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 SR860 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 SR860, 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 SR860 with second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory operating at up to 2933 MHz. The server supports 12 DIMMs per processor, which corresponds to 48 DIMMs with four processors installed. Each processor has six memory channels with two DIMMs per channel.

With 128 GB 3DS RDIMMs installed, a 4-socket server supports a total of 6 TB of system memory.

The SR860 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
  • 2933 MHz Performance+ DIMMs, that operate at 2933 MHz both at 1 DIMM per channel and 2 DIMMs per channel

Note that if the processor selected has a memory bus speed of 2666 MHz, then all DIMMs will operate at 2666 MHz, even if the DIMMs are rated for 2933 MHz.

The following three tables 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.

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:

  • The server supports RDIMMs, LRDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs. UDIMMs are not supported.
  • Mixing RDIMMs, LRDIMMs or 3DS RDIMMs is not supported.
  • Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is supported.
  • Mixing of 2933 MHz Performance+ DIMMs with other DIMMs or Persistent Memory is not supported
  • Mixing of 2666 MHz and 2933 MHz and 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.

The SR860 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).

Table 12. DCPMM part numbers

Description Maximum
supported
4ZC7A15110 B4LV ThinkSystem 128GB TruDDR4 2666MHz (1.2V) Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory 24 (6 per processor)
4ZC7A15111 B4LW ThinkSystem 256GB TruDDR4 2666MHz (1.2V) Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory 24 (6 per processor)
4ZC7A15112 B4LX ThinkSystem 512GB TruDDR4 2666MHz (1.2V) Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory 24 (6 per processor)

The following are the requirements when installing DCPMMs:

  • All second generation Intel Xeon Scalable Family processors that the SR860 supports also support DCPMMs. First generation Xeon Scalable processors are not supported.
  • All installed DCPMMs must be the same size. Mixing DCPMMs of different capacities is not supported
  • Maximum 6 DCPMMs per processor (install 1 in each memory channel)
  • 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.
  • For each memory channel with both a DCPMM and a TruDDR4 DIMM installed, the DCPMM is installed in channel slot 1 (closest) and the DIMM is installed in channel slot 0
  • To maximize performance, balance all memory channels
  • 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 server can support up to 16x 2.5-inch drives, SAS, SATA or NVMe, depending on the selected backplane configuration. You can mix drives in the same server, but not in the same array. Drives are all installed from the front of the server. The server also supports one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter.

In this section:

Backplanes and drive bays

The SR860 supports various internal storage configurations based on two different backplanes:

  • 8-drive SAS/SATA backplane for 8x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives
  • 8-drive SAS/SATA+AnyBay backplane for either:
    • 8x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives
    • 4x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives + 4x 2.5-inch U.2 (NVMe) drives

For configure-to-order (CTO) configurations, ordering information for the backplanes is in the following table.

Table 13. Backplane ordering
Part number Feature code Description
7C57A03998* AURA ThinkSystem 2U/Tower 2.5" SATA/SAS 8-Bay Backplane Kit
7C57A03999* AUR5 ThinkSystem 2U 2.5" AnyBay 8-Bay Backplane Kit

* Backplanes are configure-to-order (CTO) only; however, upgrade kits are available that include backplanes, as described in the Field upgrades section below.

Regular 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays support only SAS or SATA drives, however the Lenovo AnyBay drive bay design allows a choice of SATA, SAS or NVMe drives. This design enables the flexibility to configure some of the bays with high-performance PCIe SSDs and still use the remaining bays for high-capacity HDDs, which is the ideal solution for storage tiering.

Backplane connections are as follows:

  • The 8-drive SAS/SATA backplane has two SAS/SATA connectors and connects to a supported RAID controller or SAS HBA.
  • The 8-drive SAS/SATA+AnyBay backplane has two SAS/SATA connectors and connects to a supported RAID controller or SAS HBA plus four PCIe connectors to connect to either two PCIe connectors on the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray (see Figure 4), or four PCIe connectors on a NVMe Switch adapter installed in a PCIe slot.

Five drive configurations are possible with these two backplanes:

  1. 8 drive bays, all SAS/SATA
  2. 8 drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
  3. 16 drive bays, all SAS/SATA
  4. 16 drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
  5. 16 drive bays, where 8 are AnyBay
  6. Zero drive bays without any backplanes installed

The first five configurations are shown in the following figure.

Drive bay configurations
Figure 7. Drive bay configurations

Processors with backplane restrictions

The following processors have high thermal characteristics:

  • Intel Xeon Gold 6240Y 18/14/8C 150W Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6244 8C 165W 3.6GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6246 12C 165W 3.3GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6252N 24C 150W 2.3GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6254 18C 200W 3.1GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 24C 205W 2.9GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 26C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 28C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L 28C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8280M 28C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
If any one of these processors is selected, there may be ambient temperature, backplane and drive restrictions. See the Cooling section for details.

Adapters and cabling

This section describes the adapter and cabling requirements for each of the five configurations. There are two aspects of the server configuration that determine what adapters are needed:

  • For configurations with two SAS/SATA backplanes, you can select either one 16-port SAS/SATA adapter or two 8-port SAS/SATA adapters
  • For AnyBay drive bays, cabling varies depending on whether the server has four processors and the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray (with its two NVMe connectors) installed. If the server has only two processors configured, then the NVMe ports are provided by an NVMe Switch adapter.

The five drive bay configurations are shown in the subsections below. Where there are different adapter and cabling options, or for 2 or 4 processors, they are shown by the letters A, B, C and D. These configuration numbers are also later references in the Field upgrades section.

  1. 8x drive bays, all SAS/SATA
  2. 8x drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
  3. 16x drive bays, all SAS/SATA
  4. 16x drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
  5. 16x drive bays, where 8 are AnyBay

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

1. 8 drive bays, all SAS/SATA

In this drive bay configuration, all eight drives are connected to one 8-port SAS/SATA RAID adapter or HBA using two backplane cables, as shown in the following figure.

Adapter and cabling for 8x drive bays, all SAS/SATA
Figure 8. Adapter and cabling for 8x drive bays, all SAS/SATA

2. 8 drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay

In 8-drive bay configurations where four of those drive bays are AnyBay drive bays, possible adapter and cabling configurations are shown in the following figure.

When only two processors are selected, an NVMe Switch Adapter is used to provide the four needed NVMe ports. When four processors are selected, the NVMe ports on the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray are used to connect to the NVMe connectors on the backplane.

In this configuration you can have up to eight SAS or SATA drives, or you can instead put up to four NVMe drives in the AnyBay drive bays, along with up to four SAS/SATA drives in the other drive bays.

Adapter and cabling for 8x drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
Figure 9. Adapter and cabling for 8 drive bays, where 4 of the bays are AnyBay

3. 16 drive bays, all SAS/SATA

In 16-bay configurations where all 16 drive bays are SAS/SATA drives, you can use either two 8-port SAS/SATA RAID adapters or HBAs or one 16-port SAS/SATA RAID adapter or HBA. These choices are shown in the following figure.

Adapter and cabling for 16x drive bays, all SAS/SATA
Figure 10. Adapter and cabling for 16 drive bays, all SAS/SATA

4. 16 drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay

In 16-drive configurations where four of the bays are AnyBay drive bays, you can elect to have either one 16-port adapter or two 8-port adapters for SAS/SATA connectivity. In addition, the NVMe connectivity depends on whether you have two or four processors installed: for two-processor systems, an NVMe Switch Adapter is required; for four-processor systems, the onboard NVMe ports can be used. The configurations are shown in the following figure.

Adapter and cabling for 16x drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
Figure 11. Adapter and cabling for 16 drive bays, where 4 of the bays are AnyBay

5. 16 drive bays, where 8 are AnyBay

In 16-drive configurations where eight of the bays are AnyBay drive bays, you can select either one 16-port adapter or two 8-port adapters for SAS/SATA connectivity. In addition, the NVMe connectivity depends on whether you have two or four processors installed:

  • For two-processor systems, two NVMe Switch Adapters are required
  • Fr four-processor systems, the onboard NVMe ports is used for four of the AnyBay drive bays and an NVMe Switch Adapter is needed for the other four AnyBay drive bays.

The configurations are shown in the following figure.

Adapter and cabling for 16x drive bays, where 8 are AnyBay
Figure 12. Adapter and cabling for 16 drive bays, where 8 of the bays are AnyBay

Field upgrades

This section describes how customers can upgrade their 8-bay configurations after the initial purchase of the server. The two backplane upgrade kits are listed in the following table.

The table also lists cable kits for when you already have the backplanes installed and either want to add a storage adapter or replace a storage adapter. The X30 RAID Cable Kit is for 930/730/530/430 adapters (collectively called X30 adapters) and the X40 RAID Cable Kit is for 940/440 adapters (collectively called the X40 adapters).

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.

Network adapters

The SR850 has integrated Intel Ethernet Connection X722 technology which can provide up to four 1/10GbE network ports via an optional LOM card. The X722 has the following features:

  • Integrated into the Intel PCH chipset
  • Supports 1GbE or 10GbE connections, depending on the selected LOM Phy adapter
  • Offers VXLAN/NVGRE hardware offloads
  • Supports VMDq and SR-IOV for advanced virtualization
  • Supports iWarp RDMA

To provide connectivity to the X722, the SR860 supports six different LOM (LAN on Motherboard) cards which provide the Ethernet PHY function. Only 1 LOM card can be installed. See Figure 3 for the location of the LOM slot.

The LOM card supports NC-SI to allow the network connection to be shared between the operating system and the XClarity Controller (XCC) management module. The LOM also supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL).

For more information about the X722 controller, see the Lenovo Press product guide:
http://lenovopress.com/LP0654-intel-x722-integrated-controller

The following table lists the supported LOM cards.

Note: None of the LOM cards listed in the table support speeds lower than 1 Gbps.

GPU adapters

The SR860 supports the graphics processing units (GPUs) listed in the following table:

Table 37. GPU adapters
Part number Feature code Description Slots Maximum
supported
00KG655 B0TB NVIDIA Tesla M60 GPU, PCIe (Passive) 1, 14 2

4X67A12088 B34S ThinkSystem NVIDIA Tesla V100 32GB PCIe Passive GPU 1,14 2

The following rules apply when using GPUs:

  • The x16 risers must be ordered, one for each GPU
  • Installed GPUs must be identical
  • When the M60 is installed, the total system memory must be less than 1 TB. See https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht114952 for details.
  • When the V100 is installed:
    • Two power supplies must be installed and they must be 2000W capacity
    • Processors must have TDP rating < 200W
    • XCC firmware dated 24 April 2018 or later must be installed
  • If 1 GPU is installed, an 1100W power supply or larger must be installed
  • If 2 GPUs are installed, a 1600W power supply or larger must be installed

Cooling

The server has six 60 mm hot-swap fans and all six fans are standard in all models. The server offers N+1 redundancy, meaning that one fan can fail and the server still operates normally.

Either 16K RPM fans or 19K RPM fans are used in the server, depending on the components used in the server.

Table 38. Fan selections
Part number Feature code Description
CTO only B81D SR850/SR860 60x38 16K Fan Unit
4F17A60142 B81C SR850/SR860 60x38 19K Fan Unit

In addition, each power supply has an integrated fan and a fan is connected to each of the two upper riser units.

The 16K fan is the default selection, however the 19K fan is automatically selected when any DCPMMs or processors with high thermal characteristics is selected:

  • Any quantity and capacity of DCPMMs
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6240Y 18/14/8C 150W Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6244 8C 165W 3.6GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6246 12C 165W 3.3GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6252N 24C 150W 2.3GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Gold 6254 18C 200W 3.1GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8268 24C 205W 2.9GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8270 26C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 28C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8280L 28C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
  • Intel Xeon Platinum 8280M 28C 205W 2.7GHz Processor

The only thermal restriction with the use of 19K fans is if any DCPMMs are installed. In such configurations, the maximum ambient temperature can be 30 °C. If the ambient temperate exceeds 30 °C, or in the event of a fan failure, the server will continue to function as long as all component temperature requirements are met, however, there may be performance reductions.

For existing customers with the original 16K fans wish to operate the server without restrictions other than the above DCPMM ambient temperature requirement, the 19K RPM fans can be installed as field upgrades using part number 4F17A60142. The part number contains 1 fan. A total of 6 fans will need to be ordered.

Power supplies

The server supports up to two redundant hot-swap power supplies.

Installing a second power supply requires either the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray (7B27A03953) or the power interposer (feature AUPZ).

The power interposer enables redundant power support when the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray is not installed. If you do not have the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray installed and want to install two power supplies, then the power interposer card must be installed.

Tip: Use Lenovo Capacity Planner to determine exactly what power your server needs:

* Only available configure-to-order or with predefined models

The server offers light path diagnostics. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the XCC lights LEDs inside the server to help you diagnose the problem and find the failing part. The SR860 has fault LEDs next to the following components:

  • Each processor
  • Each memory DIMM
  • Each drive bay
  • Each system fan
  • Each power supply

The front of the server also houses an information pull-out tab (also known as the network access tag). See Figure 2 for the location. A label on the tab shows the network information (MAC address and other data) to remotely access XClarity Controller.

System status with XClarity Mobile

The XClarity Mobile app includes a tethering function where you can connect your Android or iOS device to the server via USB to see the status of the server.

The steps to connect the mobile device are as follows:

  1. Enable USB Management on the server, by holding down the ID button for 3 seconds (or pressing the dedicated USB management button if one is present)
  2. Connect the mobile device via a USB cable to the server's USB port with the management symbol USB Management symbol
  3. In iOS or Android settings, enable Personal Hotspot or USB Tethering
  4. Launch the Lenovo XClarity Mobile app

Once connected you can see the following information:

  • Server status including error logs (read only, no login required)
  • Server management functions (XClarity login credentials required)

Remote management

The server offers a dedicated RJ45 port at the rear of the server for remote management via the XClarity Controller management processor. The port supports 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.

Remote server management is provided through industry-standard interfaces:

  • Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3 (no SET commands; no SMNP v1)
  • Common Information Model (CIM-XML)
  • Representational State Transfer (REST) support
  • Redfish support (DMTF compliant)
  • Web browser - HTML 5-based browser interface (Java and ActiveX not required) using a responsive design (content optimized for device being used - laptop, tablet, phone) with NLS support

IPMI via the Ethernet port (IPMI over LAN) is supported, however it is disabled by default. For CTO orders you can specify whether you want to the feature enabled or disabled in the factory, using the feature codes listed in the following table.

Table 42. IPMI-over-LAN settings
Part number Feature code Description
CTO only B7XZ Disable IPMI-over-LAN (default)
CTO only B7Y0 Enable IPMI-over-LAN

A virtual presence (remote control) capability also comes standard in the server for remote server management. Virtual media (remote drive images) support is optional via a software license upgrade.

The remote control functions include the following:

  • Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per pixel, regardless of the system state
  • Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
  • Capturing blue-screen errors
  • International keyboard mapping support
  • LDAP-based authentication
  • With the XCC Enterprise license upgrade, mapping ISO and diskette IMG image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server

The Enterprise license upgrade, shown in the following table, enables the following features:

  • Boot Capture
  • Remote mounting of ISO and IMG files
  • Virtual console collaboration - Ability for up to 6 remote users to be log into the remote session simultaneously
  • Power capping
  • License for XClarity Energy Manager

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. It provides agent-free hardware management for ThinkSystem servers, in addition to ThinkServer, System x, and Flex System servers. The administration dashboard is based on HTML 5 and allows fast location of resources so tasks can be run quickly.

Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not require any agent software to be 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 is an optional software component for the SR860. The software can be downloaded and used at no charge to discover and monitor the SR860 and to manage firmware upgrades.

If software support is required for Lenovo XClarity Administrator, or premium features such as configuration management and operating system deployment are required, Lenovo XClarity Pro software subscription should be ordered. Lenovo XClarity Pro is licensed on a per managed system basis, that is, each managed Lenovo system requires a license.

The following table lists the Lenovo XClarity software license options.

  • 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.
