DDR4 memory offers many benefits over older generation DDR3 memory. DDR4 operates at a lower voltage than DDR3L (1.2V vs. 1.5V) and as a result, offers significant power savings. In addition, DDR4 memory has higher memory transfer speeds of up to 2133 MT/s, depending on the memory configuration. Lenovo offers Registered DIMMs (RDIMM) and Load Reduced DIMMs (LR-DIMM) that use a buffer to reduce memory bus loading, which enables greater memory capacities to be achieved. The server supports up to 12 DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has four memory channels, and there are three DIMMs supported per channel. The RD550 supports up to 768 GB of memory at speeds up to 1866 MT/s when fully populated. The actual memory speed in the system is determined as the lowest of the memory speed that is supported by the specific CPU or the maximum operating speeds for the memory configuration that is based on the number of DIMMs per channel. ThinkServer engineering tested and validated system designs that support memory speeds beyond Intel’s original plan, which provides benefits for workloads that require memory speed and density. Lenovo ThinkServer memory is fully supported up to the rated speeds that are listed in Table 6. Table 6 – RD650 Maximum Memory Capacities DIMMs per CH 1DPC 2DPC 3DPC RDIMM Memory Bus Speed Maximum Capacity 2133 MT/s 128GB (8x 16GB) 2133 MT/s 256 GB (16x 16GB) 1600 MT/s 384 GB (24x 16GB) LR-DIMM Memory Bus Speed Maximum Capacity 2133 MT/s 256 GB (8x 32GB) 2133 MT/s 512 GB (16x 32GB) 186 6MT/s 768 GB (24x 32GB) Protection against data loss is provided through the following memory reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features: ECC, Patrol and Demand Scrubbing, Sparing, Mirroring and Lockstep Mode. © Copyright Lenovo 2014. All rights reserved. 8 ThinkServer RD550 Configuration Guidelines Memory can be configured to meet various needs and workloads that are subject to the following general rules: Mixing memory type (RDIMM, LR-DIMM) is not supported. DIMM capacities and rank can be mixed. When populating for the various RAS modes, the following rules apply: If memory mirroring or lockstep is used, DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type, size, and rank. If memory sparing is used, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory, and therefore, Single Rank DIMMs cannot be used. DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type, size, and rank. Memory Optimization The memory subsystem can be optimized for various factors, including performance, capacity, or power consumption. Refer to the following guidelines when selecting memory options. Adhere to the following guidelines for maximum memory performance: Use all available memory channels (4 per processor, 8 total per system). Use identical DIMM populations in size and speed across channels. Populate both processors with equal amounts of memory. Use the same number of ranks populated per channel. Have at least two ranks available on each channel. Adhere to the following guidelines for lowest memory power consumption: Use fewer, higher capacity DIMMs. For example, 8 16 GB DIMMs generally have lower power requirements than 16 8 GB DIMMs. Populating more DIMMs per channel and using less channels (which is the opposite of the guidance for maximum memory performance) reduces overall system power, but at the cost of significant performance reduction. Guidelines for selecting memory configurations that are based on performance or capacity are listed in Table 7. For example, to achieve optimal 2133 MHz performance at a specific capacity, populate up to 16 DIMMs (up to 8 per CPU). To achieve the maximum memory capacity with the highest performance, populate up to 24 sockets with LRDIMMs. Table 7 – Memory Configuration Guidelines Desired System Capacity 4GB # of CPUs Number of DIMMs & Size Number of Channels Used Recommended DIMM type 1 CPU 1x 4 GB 1 Channel RDIMM © Copyright Lenovo 2014.

Lenovo’s ThinkServer system management offerings are based on industry standards that enable integration into existing IT environments. Lenovo’s tools emphasize provisioning and operational management, which are a large portion of the system cost. Optional upgrades provide more management capabilities to optimize performance and usage of the servers. Deployment Embedded within every Lenovo next-generation ThinkServer system, ThinkServer Deployment Manager is a tools suite that provides a complete set of provisioning capabilities from a single interface. ThinkServer Deployment Manager automates many of the tasks that are associated with server provisioning, including hardware configuration, operating system deployment, device driver (for OS installation) and firmware updates, and server cloning. Because ThinkServer Deployment Manager is integrated into the UEFI pre-boot environment, the tools operate independently of the server and are available regardless of system’s operational state. Formatting a system drive or reinstalling the operating system does not remove the tools. Also, there are no CDs or DVDs to retrieve or store, which can affect the user experience or productivity. Remote Systems Management ThinkServer System Manager (TSM) is Lenovo’s integrated systems management technology standard on all next-generation ThinkServer systems. TSM operates independently of the server and provides hardware-based, out-of-band remote access and management to ThinkServer systems, regardless of the server’s power state or the condition of the operating system. TSM is a fully featured management solution that is built on open industry standards that can help reduce related IT expenses by increasing a server administrator’s productivity. TSM provides important health and status information to systems administrators, and enables administrators to remotely perform most functions that otherwise require a visit to the server. TSM can be used as part of any server systems management infrastructure and is well-suited for customers who are deploying servers in remote branches, limited-access data centers, and where oneon one remote-control capability is required.

Remote media capability that enables the attachment of local CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, USB mass storage devices, ISO images, and IMG images (created from local folders) to the remote server. Support for power monitoring and management with the separately available ThinkServer Energy Manager tool. Energy Manager is a stand-alone, web-based, power management console that enables you to observe, plan, and manage server power usage to decrease power and cooling needs, which helps to lower your total cost of ownership. Energy Manager uses TSM to capture real-time power and temperature data from the ThinkServer system, analyzes the data to optimize server power consumption and workload placement, and provides controls to limit maximum server power consumed. © Copyright Lenovo 2014. All rights reserved. 21 ThinkServer RD550 ThinkServer System Manager Premium ordering information is listed in Table 23. Table 23 – ThinkServer System Manager Premium Option Description Lenovo ThinkServer System Manager Premium Part number Maximum supported 4XF0G45867 1 ThinkServer Energy Manager Lenovo ThinkServer Energy Manager (TEM) provides power management for servers, which enables server density and datacenter capacity to be increased through use of power capping. TEM is an agent-less, web-based console that tracks and analyzes real-time power consumption and thermal data for servers and other supported devices in the data center. With this data, administrators can plan and manage server power and cooling. By using built-in intelligence, TEM identifies power consumption trends, ideal power settings, and cooling analysis so that you can develop power-saving usage policies that adjust server power caps that are based on server usage, business conditions, and power consumption trends. When a user-defined power or temperature threshold is reached, an alert can be generated to inform you of the event. An emergency feature can automatically help maintain business continuity; when power outages or temperature events occur, TEM can dynamically cap power to shed load and distribute remaining power to servers that are prioritizing business-critical workloads. With the ability to monitor, analyze, and control the power and cooling of Lenovo and non-Lenovo servers, TEM enables you to take control of power management and reduce operational costs. A single TEM license is included with all next-generation servers with TSM Premium. Licenses are available for next-generation servers without TSM, selected 4th generation ThinkServer systems, and third-party servers6 via Node License Packs, as shown in Table 24. Users of Lenovo Smart Grid can upgrade to TEM at no charge.

This ability provides value in data centers that can (or intend to) use new energy efficient cooling technologies, and in organizations who install their servers in segregated or less-controlled environments. Lenovo carefully designed and tested the RD550 to address concerns about long-term reliability. Specifically, the following measures were taken: Very stringent component temperature and voltage de-rating requirements were adopted to insure reliable operation across all supported environments. Components are placed in the system for optimal airflow. With advanced thermal control, temperatures of critical components are often lower at higher ambient temperatures than in normal environments. The system design was thoroughly tested across the entire A4 temperature range. The system environmental specifications for the RD550 are shown in Table 27. Table 27 – Temperature, Humidity, and Altitude Specifications Operating ambient temperature Transit ambient temperature Operating Humidity Transit humidity Operating altitude Transit altitude Specification 5°C - 45°C 41°F - 113°F -40°C - +60°C -40°F - 140°F 8 % - 90% RH, non-condensing 8 % - 90% RH, non-condensing 0 - 3048 m 0 - 10,000 ft 7620 m 25,000 ft Maximum allowable ambient temperatures must be derated at altitudes above 950 m (3100 ft), as shown in Figure 10.
