Input/Output (I/O) features
• Front panel
– Two USB 3.0 connectors
• Rear panel
– Video Graphics Array (VGA) DB-15 connector
– Serial connector
– Four USB 3.0 connectors
– Two RJ-45 Ethernet connectors
– One RJ-45 Ethernet connector for BMC management
Video subsystem
An integrated graphics controller is available in your server to support the
VGA connector for connecting compatible video devices. The integrated
graphics controller is located in the ThinkServer Management Module (TMM),
which also is known as the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip
on the system board.
Ethernet connectivity
There are two regular RJ-45 Ethernet connectors and one RJ-45 Ethernet
connector for BMC management on the rear panel with 10 megabits per
second (Mbps), 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network connectivity. For more
information, see “Rear view of the server” on page 16.
Security features
• Server locks (see “Server locks” on page 19)
• Administrator password and power-on password to help protect
unauthorized access to the server (see “Using passwords” on page 42)
• ThinkServer Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is a security chip, to
help enhance server security
• Hot-swap redundant power supplies to help avoid significant interruption
to the operation of the system when a power supply fails (available on
some models)
• Intrusion switch that informs you through an event in the system event log
(SEL) when the server cover is not properly installed or closed
Basic system management features
• Ability to store the power-on self-test (POST) hardware test results
• BIOS Setup Utility program
The BIOS Setup Utility program helps you view the server information and
configure the server in the pre-operating system environment. See “Using
the Setup Utility program” on page 39.
• Hot-swap feature
Some models support hot-swap storage drives and hot-swap redundant
power supplies. With the hot-swap feature, you can install, remove, or
replace a storage drive or a failing power supply without turning off the
server.
• Preboot Execution Environment (PXE)
The Intel PXE technology enables you to start your computers, load an
operating system, or deploy executable images from a remote server by
using a network interface. The operation can be done independently of
local data storage devices (such as HDDs) or installed operating systems.
• Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID)
Your server supports onboard SATA software RAID. If a required RAID
card is installed, your server also supports advanced SATA/SAS hardware
RAID configurations. For detailed information, see “Configuring RAID”
on page 47.
• Status light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and diagnostic LEDs
For more information about the LEDs for your server, refer to the related
topics in “Component locations” on page 12.
