  • Front drive bays - choice of:
    • 4x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA hot-swap drive bays
  • Rear drive bays - choice of:
    • 2x 2.5-inch (Optional)

For OS boot functionality, the server supports either:

  • One or two M.2 SATA drives, installed in an M.2 adapter internal to the server.
  • One or two 7mm hot-swap SATA or NVMe drives, accessible from the rear of the server. Not supported with configurations with 3.5-inch front drives

Configuration rules are as follows:

  • All Hybrid storage configurations are two-tier, cache tier and capacity tier
  • Drive type choices are as follows:
    • HDDs for capacity
    • SAS/SATA or NVMe SSDs for cache
  • For cache drives, a minimum of 2 and maximum of 4 drives is required
  • For configurations with 3.5-inch front drives, capacity drives are installed in the front bay and cache drives are installed in rear 2.5-inch bays
  • The total cache storage must be a minimum of 10% of the total capacity storage

MX630 V3 IS and CN All Flash

Drive bay configurations are as follows:

For OS boot functionality, the server supports either:

  • One or two M.2 SATA drives, installed in an M.2 adapter internal to the server.
  • One or two 7mm hot-swap SATA or NVMe drives, accessible from the rear of the server

Configuration rules are as follows:

  • All-flash configurations can be single-tier or two-tier storage:
    • To select a single-tier configuration in DCSC, select the drive you wish to use (from either the capacity or cache lists) and ensure that all other drive selections are set to None
    • To select a two-tier configuration in DCSC, select a quantity of cache drives and a quantity of capacity drives
  • Drive choices for a single-tier configuration are as follows:
    • Drives can be either SAS SSDs, SATA SDDs or NVMe SSDs (includes EDSFF)
    • All drives must be the same feature code
    • A minimum of 4 drives is required
  • Drive choices for a two-tier configuration are as follows:
    • The following combinations are supported:
      • SAS SSD for cache and SAS/SATA SSD for capacity
      • NVMe SSD for both cache & capacity
      • NVMe SSD for cache and SAS/SATA SSD for capacity
    • All cache drives must be the same feature code and all capacity drives must be the same feature code
    • A minimum of 2 cache drives and a minimum of 4 capacity drives is required
    • The total cache storage must be a minimum of 10% of the total capacity storage

Software

The MX Integrated Systems include the preloaded Azure Stack HCI operating system only and requires activation via a CSP such as Lenovo Cloud Marketplace, with the option to purchase a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter or Windows Server 2022 Datacenter license if unlimited guest OS VMs are desired.

The MX Certified Nodes can optionally have Windows Server 2019 Datacenter, Windows Server 2022 Datacenter, or Azure Stack HCI OS preinstalled. Customers can use existing Windows Server Datacenter software licenses, or they can purchase new software licenses from Lenovo or Microsoft. If the licenses are purchased from Lenovo, Windows Server can be factory-installed or shipped in the box with the Certified Node for the installation at the customer site.

The following table lists the Windows Server Datacenter software options that are available for selection from Lenovo for Certified Nodes.

    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.

  • 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.
