Availability and serviceability
The x240 M5 provides the following features to simplify serviceability and increase system up-time:
Chipkill, memory mirroring, and memory rank sparing for redundancy if there is a non-correctable
memory failure.
Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as CPU,
memory, and adapter cards.
Hot-swap drives support integrated RAID 1 redundancy for data protection and greater system
up-time.
A light path diagnostics panel and individual light path LEDs to quickly lead the technician to failed (or
failing) components. This feature simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps
improve system availability.
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA), which detects when system components (such as processors,
memory, and hard disk drives) operate outside of standard thresholds and generates pro-active alerts
in advance of possible failure, which increases uptime.
Solid-state drives (SSDs), which offer significantly better reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs
for greater uptime.
Built-in Integrated Management Module II (IMM2) continuously monitors system parameters, triggers
alerts, and performs recovering actions if there is a failure to minimize downtime.
Built-in diagnostics that uses Dynamic Systems Analysis (DSA) Preboot speeds up troubleshooting
tasks to reduce service time.
Three-year customer replaceable unit and on-site limited warranty; next business day 9x5. Optional
service upgrades are available.
Manageability and security
The following powerful systems management features simplify the local and remote management of the
x240 M5:
The x240 M5 includes an IMM2 to monitor server availability and perform remote management.
Integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2 support enables advanced cryptographic functionality,
such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
System x Trusted Platform Assurance, an exclusive set of System x security features and practices,
establishes a foolproof security foundation for workloads by delivering firmware that is securely built,
tested, digitally signed, and verified before execution.
The server offers enterprise-class data protection with optional self-encrypting drives and simple,
centralized key management through Security Key Lifecycle Management.
Industry-standard AES NI support for faster, stronger encryption.
Integrates with the IBM® Flex System™ Manager for proactive systems management. It offers
comprehensive systems management for the entire Flex System platform that helps to increase
up-time, reduce costs, and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities.
Lenovo Fabric Manager simplifies deployment of infrastructure connections by managing network and
storage address assignments.
