Memory Options The ThinkServer RD450 supports DDR4 memory. DDR4 memory offers many benefits over older
generation DDR3 memory. DDR4 operates at a lower voltage than DDR3L (1.2V versus 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 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 RD450 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 you are 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.
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 8 GB 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 on page 10. 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.
ThinkServer RD450
© Copyright Lenovo 2015. All rights reserved. 19
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 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. It also 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-
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)
ThinkServer RD450

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
to optimize server power usage and workload placement, and provides controls to limit
maximum server power consumed.
ThinkServer System Manager Premium ordering information is listed in Table 19.

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 usage 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.

ThinkServer Partner Pack for VMware vCenter The Lenovo Partner Pack for vSphere vCenter Server provides detailed system information about Lenovo
ThinkServer hosts in a VMware virtualized environment, including extended inventory and status
information about processors, memory, fans, and temperature sensors. It also enables actions, such as
starting a remote console or the Think Server Management Module (TMM) interface.
The Partner Pack integrates into vCenter by using the open plug-in architecture and allows “one pane of
glass” management for the virtualized environment, so administrators can continue to use familiar tools.
Unlike options from other server providers, the Lenovo Partner Pack integrates into vCenter and does
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 actions, 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.

require the installation of extra consoles or software.
Power, Thermal and Acoustics The RD450 is intrinsically energy efficient with the following power saving and power management
features to help reduce operational costs:
The RD450 uses low-power components, including DDR4 memory and low power CPU options.
Power supply choices that can be selected are based on system configuration, which enables
greater power supply efficiency in use.
The server can be configured with 80 Plus Platinum or Titanium rated power supplies and is
compliant with Energy Star 2.0 when these power supplies are used. Titanium rated supplies are
up to 96% efficient at high loads.
System power profiles can be configured in BIOS to optimize usage for maximum performance
or energy efficiency.
Lenovo Energy Manager provides system level power monitoring and management, which
enables user- defined power capping.
Power Supply Options Power Supplies that are available for the RD450 are highly efficient with Energy Star 80 Plus Platinum
and Titanium supplies. Several power supply options are available and they can be selected to match the
workload and configuration of the server for even greater efficiencies. All power supplies that are used
in the RD450 are common across the ThinkServer next-generation server portfolio, which simplifies
management across large installations. Power supplies are auto-sensing and feature a line-cord
retention mechanism to prevent unintended disconnects.

ThinkServer RD450
© Copyright Lenovo 2015. All rights reserved. 23
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 22.
If an installed power supply is smaller than the demand that is placed on it, power consumption is
capped with a potential effect on system performance.
If Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) are used with the RD450, the output of the UPS should be of a
pure sine wave.

Warranty options The Lenovo ThinkServer RD450 features a one year or three-year next business day onsite warranty
coverage, depending on the server model.
The warranty can be extended to three, four, or five years, up to a maximum coverage period of five
years. If Lenovo determines that the product problem is covered by the product warranty and cannot be
resolved over the telephone, a technician is dispatched to arrive on-site (typically the next business day)
in major metropolitan areas. Calls that are received after 4:00 p.m. local time require an extra business
day for service dispatch. On-site service is available only in metropolitan areas and next business day
service is not guaranteed.
The warranty extension offerings that are available for the RD450 are listed in Table 28.

Keep Your Drive, Multi Drive Lenovo’s ThinkServer Keep Your Drive Multi-Drive service is a multi-drive hard drive retention offering

installed in your ThinkServer system. In the unlikely event of a hard drive failure, you retain possession
of your hard drive while Lenovo replaces the failed drive part. Your data stays safely on your premises, in
your hands. Keep Your Drive Multi-Drive can be purchased stand-alone to match the base warranty of
your ThinkServer system or in convenient bundles with our same-day response services.
All Lenovo four- and eight-hour service offerings require Customer Server Location Activation. For more
information about this process, see this website:
www.lenovo.com/activation
If the customer fails to complete ThinkServer location activation, the SLA that is provided might be
affected. To perform the necessary inspection and activation procedures for the ThinkServer customer’s
machine location for four- and eight-hour response service, Lenovo reserves the right to automatically
downgrade the service to NBD Onsite service for the initiation period of up to 30 days following the
successful location activation.
