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.
