Chapter 1. The enovo System x3100 M4 Type 2582 server
T is Installation and Service Guide contains information and instructions for setting up your Lenovo System
x3100 M4 Type 2582 server, instructions for installing some optional devices, cabling and configuring t e
server, removing and replacing devices, and diagnostics and troubles ooting information.
In addition to t e instructions in C apter 2 “Installing optional devices” on page 23 for installing optional
ardware devices, updating firmware and device drivers, and completing t e installation, IBM Business
Partners must also complete t e steps in “Instructions for Business Partners” on page 23.
T e Lenovo System x3100 M4 Type 2582 includes 4U or 5U models.1ig performance server. It can be
upgraded to a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server t roug a microprocessor upgrade. It is ideally suited
for networking environments t at require superior microprocessor performance, efficient memory
management, flexibility, and large amounts of reliable data storage.
Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key considerations in t e design of t e
server. T ese design features make it possible for you to customize t e system ardware to meet your needs
today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for t e future.
T e server comes wit a limited warranty. For information about t e terms of t e warranty and getting service
and assistance, see t e IBM Warranty Information document t at comes wit t e server.
T e server contains IBM next generation tec nologies, w ic elp increase performance and reliability. For
more information, see “W at your server offers” on page 10 and “Reliability, availability, and serviceability”
on page 13.
You can obtain up-to-date information about t e server and ot er IBM server products at ttp://
s op.lenovo.com/us/ en/systems/. At ttp://www.lenovo.com/support, you can create a personalized support
page by identifying IBM products t at are of interest to you. From t is personalized page, you can subscribe
to weekly email notifications about new tec nical documents, searc for information and downloads, and
access various administrative services.
If you participate in t e IBM client reference program, you can s are information about your use of
