applications.
Lenovo Storage N4610 1

Key features
The N4610 offers storage-rich capabilities with internal storage and external scale-up storage expansion. It
can perform file serving tasks hosting SMB and NFS file shares for Windows, Linux, and Mac based clients,
SMB file shares for server applications (SQL over SMB and Hyper-V over SMB), and iSCSI storage targets
for the server applications that require block I/O. Client and server applications can use cost-efficient
Ethernet LAN infrastructure (Gigabit Ethernet, 10 GbE, or mixed).
Data Deduplication service can be enabled on the N4610 to allow the most efficient use of the storage
space (especially for software distribution packages, image repositories, and archives because they often
are characterized by high data redundancy and infrequent changes). Optionally, if the storage server is at
the central office and is a part of the distributed environment, more services (such as DFS replication) can
be enabled to synchronize the content between the central and remote locations for the purpose of
centralized backup operations (from the remote to the central location) and software delivery (from the
central to the remote location).
The following figure shows an N4610 unified storage server solution.
Figure 2. N4610 unified storage server solution
With enhanced storage manageability features, the N4610 reduces the time spent on IT administration,
helping your business to perform the following tasks:
Consolidate file-sharing resources on Windows Storage Server even in mixed, heterogeneous
computing environments
Speed access to data across your entire network infrastructure, while improving control of files and
compliance via a single management interface
Make the most of simplicity, ease of use, and low-cost scalability to use your organization’s current
IT skills to efficiently support a growing user base
Lenovo Storage N4610 2

The N4610 that is running Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 includes the following features and benefits:
An affordable and reliable unified network-attached and block-level storage solution with the
following features:
Reliable storage servers that are built on the proven Lenovo ThinkServer hardware platform.
Drive trays that are common with ThinkServer servers.
A common set of ThinkServer memory, storage, and network connectivity options.
Advanced hardware-based RAID configurations for protecting critical data.
A dedicated and optimized file and print server. Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 has all function
unrelated to file serving removed (while keeping essential infrastructure services for easier
deployments), which helps increase reliability and lower the overhead on the server's processor.
Flexible installation and deployment:
Flexible configuration options enable customers to finely tune their storage server hardware to
meet cost and performance needs.
The storage servers can be configured remotely via Windows Server Manager, which makes
them ideal for branch office, department, and store deployments.
Easy integration into your existing IT infrastructures:
Integrates easily into Active Directory environments.
You can use your existing backup tools and antivirus software on Windows Storage Server to
protect your investments.
Files can be shared across heterogeneous file system environments and different operating
system platforms through the integration of SMB and NFS protocols.
Compatible with existing Ethernet infrastructure.
Easy to use and manage:
Factory-integrated, pre-configured, and delivered to the clients with Microsoft Windows
Storage Server 2012 R2 preinstalled.
All storage tools are integrated into a single interface of Windows Server Manager.
Centralized administration and unified user experience in managing stand-alone storage
servers.
Lower total cost of ownership (TCO):
Lenovo storage servers are a cost-effective storage consolidation solution in a network
environment and enable centralization of storage and storage management.
No extra licenses are required for users, which can help to significantly reduce Client Access
License costs.
Fast data recovery:
Built-in data “Snapshot” technology. Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) provides enhanced
data protection through high-fidelity backups, rapid data restores, and data transport.
By using the VSS for Server Message Block (SMB) File Shares feature, deleted or corrupted
files can be restored within minutes, instead of hours.
Lenovo Storage N4610 3

The N4610 uses Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 operating system is based on Windows Server 2012 R2
core technologies and is optimized for providing block- and file-level storage services to the users and
server applications. The following components and capabilities are included in Windows Storage Server
2012 R2:
Storage protocols:
iSCSI Software Target offers low-cost shared storage for applications that require block-level
access to it.
SMB File Services provide network shares for the Windows-based user and server application
environments:
Microsoft SQL Server supports placement of log and data files onto an SMB network
share (SQL over SMB).
Microsoft Hyper-V supports placement of virtual machine files onto an SMB network
share (Hyper-V over SMB).
Network File System (NFS) File Services provide network shares for the Linux- or Mac-based
user or Linux-based server application environments. VMware vSphere virtual machine files
can be placed onto an NFS network share.
Availability and performance:
Microsoft iSCSI Software Target supports Multipath I/O (MPIO) which allows iSCSI clients to
use multiple network paths to a storage server for high availability, fault tolerance, and load
balancing purposes.
SMB Multichannel allows the use of multiple redundant network paths between application
server SMB clients and SMB file shares that are hosted on Windows Storage Servers for
better throughput while maintaining network availability.
Vendor-independent network teaming allows combining of multiple network interfaces into a
single fault-tolerant or load-balancing group for better performance and availability.
NTFS in Windows Server 2012 R2 improves availability by performing online corruption
scanning, the use of self-healing techniques, and reducing file system repair times.
Data management:
Data Deduplication can help to significantly improve the efficiency of storage space usage.
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) for SMB file shares allows backup operations by using
the snapshots of remote file shares that are supporting SMB-based server applications (for
example, SQL over SMB).
DFS Replication provides synchronization capabilities across limited bandwidth network
connections in the distributed environments.
Microsoft BranchCache® optimizes the use of WAN links by caching the remote data locally
based on predefined policies.

# No factory-configured RAID array.
Processors
The N4610 supports up to two processors. Standard models ship with one Intel® Xeon® processor E5-
2603 v3. The second processor can be ordered if required (see the following table). The second processor
option includes two extra cooling fans.
Table 4. Processor options
Description Part number
Lenovo ThinkServer RD650 Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 (6C, 85W, 1.6GHz) Processor 4XG0F28821
Memory
The N4610 supports up to 192 GB of DDR4 memory. The storage server supports up to 12 DIMMs when
one processor is installed and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has four
memory channels and there are three DIMMs per channel.
Lenovo Storage N4610 12

The following rules apply when the memory configuration is selected:
The storage server supports RDIMMs only.
The maximum quantity of RDIMMs that can be installed in the storage server depends on the number
of processors.
All RDIMMs in the storage server operate at the same 1600 MHz speed, which is the maximum
memory speed that is supported by the Intel Xeon E5-2603 v3 processor.
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
ECC
Lockstep
Memory mirroring
Patrol scrubbing
Demand scrubbing
If lockstep or memory mirroring is used, RDIMMs must be installed in pairs (a minimum of one pair per each
processor), and both RDIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size. Lockstep and memory mirroring
modes are mutually exclusive. Only one operational memory mode can be enabled on a storage server, and
it is a system-wide setting.
The following table lists available memory options for the N4610.

Internal storage
The N4610 storage server supports up to 12x 3.5-inch SAS or SATA hot-swap drives (HDDs or SSDs) on the
front and two 2.5-inch SATA hot-swap drives on the rear. For relationship and TopSeller models of the
N4610, the rear drives are configured in a RAID 1 array, which contains Windows Storage Server 2012 R2
preload.
Both front and rear drives are connected to the Lenovo ThinkServer RAID 720ix AnyRAID Adapter with
Expander that comes standard with the N4610. The RAID 720ix controller has the following specifications:
Eight internal 12 Gbps SAS/SATA ports (support for 12, 6, or 3 Gbps SAS speeds and 6 or 3 Gbps
SATA speeds)
Up to 12 Gbps throughput per port
Supports connections to 12x 3.5-inch SAS and SATA HDDs and SSDs on the front and 2x 2.5-inch
SATA HDDs or SSDs on the rear with the integrated SAS Expander
Supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60
Supports optional 1 GB non-backed read-only cache upgrade or 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB flash-backed
cache upgrades (1 GB non-backed read-only cache comes standard with the relationship and
TopSeller models that are listed in this product guide)

The N4610 supports an AnyFabric slot and up to eight PCIe slots: three PCIe slots on the system planar
and up to five PCIe slots with riser cards that are installed into two riser sockets on the system planar (one
riser socket supports installation of one riser card). The following slot form factors are available:
Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length
Slot 2: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length
Slot 3: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length
Slot 4: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile (vertical slot on system planar)
Slot 5: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length
Slot 6: PCIe 3.0 x8; full-height, half-length
Slot 7: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile (vertical slot on system planar)
Slot 8: PCIe 3.0 x8; low profile (vertical slot on system planar)
Note: Slots 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 require the second processor to be installed. If only one processor is installed
and there are no riser cards installed, only the AnyFabric slot can be used.

Systems management
The storage server contains ThinkServer System Manager (TSM), which provides advanced service-
processor control, monitoring, and an alerting function. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or
if a system component fails, the TSM lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem, records the error in the
event log, and alerts you to the problem. Optionally, the TSM also provides a virtual presence capability for
remote storage server management capabilities.
The TSM provides remote storage server management through the following industry-standard interfaces:
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3
Data Center Management Interface (DCMI) Version 1.0
Web browser
The optional TSM Premium is required for enabling remote presence and energy monitoring and
management. The TSM Premium feature provides the following functions:
Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1920x1200 at 60 Hz with up to 24 bits per
pixel colors
Remotely accessing the system by 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 system
