Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs
RoHS, The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal requirement affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS
requirements must be implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market and sold in the
European Union after June 2006. Products on the market before June 2006 are not required to have
RoHS compliant parts. If the parts are not compliant originally, replacement parts can also be
noncompliant, but in all cases, if the parts are compliant, the replacement parts must also be
compliant.
Note: RoHS and non-RoHS FRU part numbers with the same fit and function are identified with unique
FRU part numbers.
Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation date and expects its
suppliers to be ready to support Lenovo’s requirements and schedule in the EU. Products sold in 2005
will contain some RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and any
product Lenovo produces containing RoHS compliant parts.
Chapter 1. About this manual 7

RoHS compliant ThinkServer TS200 parts have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after June 2006,
failed RoHS compliant parts must always be replaced using RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs
identified as compliant in the system Hardware Maintenance Manual or direct substitutions for those
FRUs can be used.

Chapter 2. General information
This chapter provides general information that applies to all machine types supported by this publication.
Features and technologies
The TS200 server offers the following features and technologies:
vUEFI-compliant server firmware
The server firmware offers several features, including Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) 2.1
compliance, enhanced RAS capabilities, and BIOS compatibility support. UEFI replaces the basic
input/output system (BIOS) and defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform
firmware, and external devices. UEFI-compliant servers are capable of starting UEFI-compliant
operating systems, BIOS-based operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant
adapters.
Note: The server does not support DOS (Disk Operating System).
vSystems-management capabilities
The integrated management module (IMM) combines service processor functions, video controller, and
remote presence function in a single chip. The IMM provides advanced service-processor control,
monitoring, and alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system
component fails, the IMM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the event
log, and alerts you to the problem. The IMM also provides a virtual presence capability for remote
server management capabilities. The IMM provides remote server management through
industry-standard interfaces:
– Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) version 2.0
– Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version 3
– Common Information Model (CIM)
– Web browser
vRemote presence capability and blue-screen capture
The remote presence feature provides the following functions:
– Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 at 85 Hz, regardless of the
system state
– Remotely accessing the server, using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
– Mapping the CD or DVD drive, diskette drive, and USB flash drive on a remote client, and mapping
ISO and diskette image files as virtual drives that are available for use by the server
– Uploading a diskette image to the IMM memory and mapping it to the server as a virtual drive
The blue-screen capture feature captures the video display contents before the IMM restarts the server
when the IMM detects an operating-system hang condition. A system administrator can use the
blue-screen capture to assist in determining the cause of the hang condition.
vPreboot diagnostics programs
The preboot diagnostics programs are stored on the integrated USB memory. It collects and analyzes
system information to aid in diagnosing server problems. The diagnostics programs collect the
following information about the server:
– System configuration
– Network interfaces and settings
– Installed hardware
– Service processor status and configuration
© Lenovo 2009. Portions © IBM Corp. 2007,2009. 9

– Vital product data, firmware, and UEFI (formerly BIOS) configuration
– Hard disk drive health
– RAID controller configuration
– Event logs for service processors
The diagnostic programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The
information is collected into a file that you can send to Lenovo service and support. Additionally, you
can view the information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a
removable media and view the log from a Web browser.
For additional information about preboot diagnostics, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual.
vEasyStartup DVD
The ThinkServer EasyStartup program guides you through the configuration of the hardware, the
RAID controller, and the installation of the operating system and device drivers.
vEasyManage DVD
The ThinkServer EasyManage program helps you manage and administer your servers and clients
through remote problem notification as well as monitoring and alerting.
vIntegrated network support
The server comes with an integrated dual-port Intel®82574L Gigabit Ethernet controller, which
supports connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see
“Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controllers” on page 265.
vIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0
The command-line interface provides direct access to server management functions through the IPMI
2.0 protocol. Use the command-line interface to issue commands to control the server power, view
system information, and identify the server. You can also save one or more commands as a text file and
run the file as a script.
vLarge data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
Some hot-swap server models support four 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives. With the hot-swap
feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.
vLarge system-memory capacity
The server supports up to 24 GB of system memory when registered DIMMs are installed. The server
supports up to 8 GB of memory when unbuffered DIMMs are installed. The memory controller
supports error correcting code (ECC) and non-error correcting code for up to 6 industry-standard
PC3-8500, or PC3-10600R-999 (single-rank or dual-rank), 1066 and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation
double-data-rate), registered, and unbuffered synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM)
dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
vRedundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant
Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that
is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user
intervention.
vHigh-performance graphics controller
The server comes with an onboard high-performance graphics controller that supports high resolutions
and includes many performance-enhancing features for the operating-system environment.
vRedundant connection
The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides a failover capability to a redundant
Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that
is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the
applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user
intervention.
vDual-core or quad-core processing
10 ThinkServer TS200 Types 6522, 6523, 6524, 6525, 6526, 6528, 6529, and 6530: Hardware Maintenance Manual

The server supports one Intel Xeon®dual-core or quad-core microprocessor.
vRAID support
The server supports an internal RAID SAS Controller, which is required for you to use the hot-swap
hard disk drives and to create redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations.
vTCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support
The Ethernet controllers in the server support TOE, which is a technology that offloads the TCP/IP
flow from the microprocessors and I/O subsystem to increase the speed of the TCP/IP flow. When an
operating system that supports TOE is running on the server and TOE is enabled, the server supports
TOE operation. See the operating-system documentation for information about enabling TOE.
Note: As of the date of this document, the Linux®operating system does not support TOE.

Notes:
1. Power consumption and heat output
vary depending on the number and
type of optional features installed and
the power-management optional
features in use.
2. The sound levels were measured in
controlled acoustical environments
according to the procedures specified
by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) S12.10 and ISO 7779
and are reported in accordance with
ISO 9296. Actual sound-pressure levels
in a given location might exceed the
average values stated because of room
reflections and other nearby noise
sources. The noise emission level stated
in the declared (upper limit)
sound-power level, in bels, for a
random sample of system.
3. There is no keyboard connector or
mouse connector on the server. You
can connect a USB keyboard and USB
mouse to the server by using the USB
connectors.
