Memory Options
The ThinkServer RD350 supports DDR4 memory. 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.

ThinkServer RD350
The server supports up to 8 DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 16 DIMMs when two
processors are installed. Each processor has four memory channels, and there are two DIMMs
supported per channel. The RD350 supports up to 512 GB of memory at speeds up to 2133 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.

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; therefore, Single Rank DIMMs cannot be used. DIMMs in a pair must be identical in
type, size, and rank.

ThinkServer RD350
Memory Optimization
The memory subsystem can be optimized for various factors, including performance, capacity, or power
consumption. Refer to the guidelines that are described in this section when you are selecting memory
options.
Adhere to the following guidelines for maximum memory performance:





Use all available memory channels (four per processor, eight 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 8GB DIMMs.
Populating more DIMMs per channel and the use of 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 16 sockets with LRDIMMs.

Systems Management
A significant factor in the total cost of a server’s ownership is the processes that are used for
administering the system hardware, software, and support over the life of the server. 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 OS 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 that is
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 one-

16
ThinkServer RD350
on-one remote control capability is required. Lenovo’s design advancements address key system
management concerns. In particular, TSM is a low-cost solution that supports heterogeneous
environments, provides full remote management capability, and supports remote deployment.
TSM provides the following key features:





Choice of a dedicated or shared management Ethernet connection that is configurable in BIOS
or in the TSM:
o Shared:
 VLANs supported to provide separation between in-band network and TSM
 10 Mb/s maximum TSM bandwidth on 1 GbE mezzanine cards
 100 Mb/s maximum TSM bandwidth on 10 GbE mezzanine cards
o Dedicated:
 Uses separate network port
 Provides complete physical separation between Mezzanine 0 and TSM
 1 Gb/s maximum TSM bandwidth
Remote server management through industry standard interfaces, including:
o Secure HTML5 web browser GUI suitable for today’s mobile devices and tablets
o IPMI 2.0
o DCMI 1.0
o WS-MAN
o SMASH-CLP
o SNMP v3 (Gets only)
A PowerShell CLI provides increased flexibility and scripting capabilities
Automatic out-of-band notification and alerts from:
o SNMP Traps
o SMTP (email)
o CIM indications
Configurable via web and PowerShell CLI, IPMI, WS-Man, and SMASH-CLI interfaces
Available as an optional hardware upgrade key, TSM Premium enables the following advanced features:



A remote console that provides complete remote control of the server. A video viewer enables
graphical console, keyboard, and mouse redirection of the server.
Remote media capability that enables the attachment of local CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, USB mass
storage devices, ISO images, and IMG images (that are 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

ThinkServer Energy Manager
Lenovo ThinkServer Energy Manager (TEM) provides power management for servers, which enables
server density and datacenter capacity to be increased through the 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 use 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 fourth generation ThinkServer systems, and
third-party servers2 via Node License Packs, as shown in Table 18. Users of Lenovo Smart Grid can
upgrade to TEM at no charge.

not require the installation of extra consoles or software.
ThinkServer Partner Pack for Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) is part of the Microsoft Systems Center suite and
provides the operational management functions, such as health monitoring, performance data
collection, and administrator-initiated or automated actions.
Implemented as a Management Pack for SCOM, the Partner Pack is integrated into SCOM by using the
existing Management Pack interface, which allows IT administrators to manage ThinkServer systems by
using familiar tools and “one pane of glass” management.
The Lenovo Partner Pack for SCOM automatically discovers and provides detailed system information
about the Lenovo ThinkServer managed servers, including component inventory and component and
sensor status. The Partner Pack also enables tasks, such as restarting or powering off the ThinkServer,
accessing the Remote Desktop Console via RDP, and accessing the TMM interface.
The Partner Pack uses “In-Band” management to manage ThinkServer systems that are running
Microsoft Windows Operating Systems with the System Center Agent installed.
Unlike options from other server providers, the Lenovo Partner Pack integrates into SCOM and does not
require the installation of extra consoles or software.

Supported Configurations
The RD350 supports several configurations that can be selected based on the wanted server
configuration, workload, or reliability requirements.
The server can be ordered with a single power supply or with two power supplies for 1 + 1 redundancy
in the unlikely event of a power supply failure. Both active-active and active-passive forms of
redundancy are supported and they are configurable through IPMI (command-line interface).
Installing two different wattage power supplies is not supported; the lower wattage power supply is
disabled, which eliminates redundancy.
The size of the power supply should be chosen based on the system configuration, as shown in Table 20.
If an installed power supply is smaller than the demand placed on it, power consumption is capped with
a potential effect on system performance.
If Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) are used with the RD350, the output of the UPS should be of a
pure sine wave.
Ordering information for world-wide power cords is shown in Table 20.
