Safety inspection checklist
Use the information in this section to identify potentially unsafe conditions with your server. As each machine
was designed and built, required safety items were installed to protect users and service technicians from
injury.
Note: The product is not suitable for use at visual display workplaces according to §2 of the Workplace
Regulations.
Note: The set-up of the server is made in the server room only.
CAUTION:
This equipment must be installed or ser iced by trained personnel, as defined by the NEC, IEC 62368-
1 & IEC 60950-1, the standard for Safety of Electronic Equipment within the Field of Audio/Video,
Information Technology and Communication Technology. Leno o assumes you are qualified in the
ser icing of equipment and trained in recognizing hazards energy le els in products. Access to the
equipment is by the use of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the
authority responsible for the location.
Important: Electrical grounding of the server is required for operator safety and correct system function.
Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.
Use the following checklist to verify that there are no potentially unsafe conditions:
1. Make sure that the power is off and the power cord is disconnected.
2. Check the power cord.
• Make sure that the third-wire ground connector is in good condition. Use a meter to measure third-
wire ground continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and the frame ground.
• Make sure that the power cord is the correct type.
To view the power cords that are available for the server:
a. Go to:

http://dcsc.lenovo.com/#/
b. Click Preconfigured Model or Configure to order.
c. Enter the machine type and model for your server to display the configurator page.
d. Click Power ➙ Power Cables to see all line cords.
• Make sure that the insulation is not frayed or worn.
3. Check for any obvious non-Lenovo alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-Lenovo
alterations.
4. Check inside the server for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or
other liquid, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
5. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
6. Make sure that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered
with.

i ThinkSystem DW612S Neptune DWC Enclosure System Configuration Guide

Chapter 1. Introduction
The ThinkSystem DW612S Neptune DWC Solution 6U enclosure designed for high performance computing.
This solution includes a single enclosure that can contain up to six ThinkSystem high-density servers, which
are designed to deliver a dense, scalable platform for distributed enterprise and hyperconverged.
Features
Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key considerations in the design of
your solution. These design features make it possible for you to customize the system hardware to meet your
needs today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future.
Your solution implements the following features and technologies:
• Features on Demand
If a Features on Demand feature is integrated in the solution or in an optional device that is installed in the
solution, you can purchase an activation key to activate the feature. For information about Features on
Demand, see:
https://fod.lenovo.com/lkms
• Leno o XClarity Controller (XCC)
The Lenovo XClarity Controller is the common management controller for Lenovo ThinkSystem server
hardware. The Lenovo XClarity Controller consolidates multiple management functions in a single chip on
the server system board (system board assembly). Some of the features that are unique to the Lenovo
XClarity Controller are enhanced performance, higher-resolution remote video, and expanded security
options.
The server supports Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2). For additional information about Lenovo XClarity
Controller 2 (XCC2), refer to https://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/lxcc_frontend/lxcc_overview.html.
• UEFI-compliant ser er firmware
Lenovo ThinkSystem firmware is Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) compliant. UEFI replaces
BIOS and defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external
devices.
Lenovo ThinkSystem solutions are capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based
operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.
Note: The solution does not support Disk Operating System (DOS).
• Acti e Memory
The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring. Memory
mirroring mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously. If a
failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the backup pair
of DIMMs.
• Large system-memory capacity
The solution supports synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) registered dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). For more information about the specific types
and maximum amount of memory, see “Technical Specifications” in the User Guide of each high-density
server..
• Integrated network support

The tray comes with an integrated 1-port Gigabit Ethernet controller with RJ-45 connector and 2-port
25Gb Ethernet controller with SFP28 connector, which support connection to a 1000 Mbps network.
• Large data-storage capacity
See the “Specifications” section in the User Guide of the high-density server.
• Lightpath Diagnostics
Lightpath Diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information about the
Lightpath Diagnostics, see “Troubleshooting by system LEDs and diagnostics display” on page 11.
• Mobile access to Leno o Ser ice Information website
The solution provides a QR code on the system service label, which is on the cover of the DWC tray cover,
that you can scan using a QR code reader and scanner with a mobile device to get quick access to the
Lenovo Service Information website. The Lenovo Service Information website provides additional
information for parts installation, replacement videos, and error codes for solution support.
• Acti e Energy Manager
Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager is a power and temperature management solution for data centers. You
can monitor and manage the power consumption and temperature of Converged, NeXtScale, System x,
and ThinkServer solutions, and improve energy efficiency using Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager.
• Optional power capabilities
The solution supports a maximum of nine 2400W or 2600W hot-swap power supplies, or three 200W
DWC PSUs.
Note: Do not mix power supplies in the same unit of solution.
• ThinkSystem RAID support
See the “Specifications” section in the User Guide of the high-density server.
