Chapter 2. General information This chapter provides general information that applies to all machine types supported by this publication. Features and technologies The server uses the following features and technologies: v UEFI-compliant server firmware UEFI replaces the basic input/output system (BIOS) and defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external devices. The server design combines the UEFI capabilities and features with legacy BIOS compatibility.
The memory bus supports up to 24 GB of memory when registered DIMMs are installed. The server supports up to 8 GB if unbuffered DIMMs are installed. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to six industry-standard PC3-8500 or PC3-10600R-999, 1066 and 1333 MHz, DDR3 (third-generation double-data-rate), registered or unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).
– Event logs for RAID controllers and service processors The diagnostics programs create a merged log that includes events from all collected logs. The information is collected into a file that you can send to the Lenovo technical support team to help diagnose a problem. Additionally, you can view the information locally through a generated text report file. You can also copy the log to a removable medium and view the HTML log from a Web browser.

Chapter 3. General Checkout You can solve many problems without outside assistance by following the troubleshooting procedures in this Hardware Maintenance Manual and on the Lenovo Web site. This document describes the diagnostic tests that you can perform, troubleshooting procedures, and explanations of error messages and error codes. The documentation that comes with your operating system and software also contains troubleshooting information.
Performing the checkout procedure To perform the checkout procedure, complete the following steps: 1. Is the server part of a cluster? v No: Go to step 2. v Yes: Shut down all failing servers that are related to the cluster. Go to step 2. 2. Complete the following steps: a. Check the power supply LEDs (see “Power-supply LEDs” on page 67). b. Turn off the server and all external devices. c. Check all internal and external devices for compatibility at http://www.lenovo.com/support. d.
The four problem-resolution procedures are presented in the order in which they are most likely to solve your problem. Follow these procedures in the order in which they are presented: a. Check for and apply code updates. Most problems that appear to be caused by faulty hardware are actually caused by the server firmware (formerly BIOS firmware), device firmware, or device drivers that are not at the latest levels. 1) Determine the existing code levels.
Lenovo service bulletins document known problems and suggested solutions. To search for service bulletins, complete the following steps. 1) Go to: http://www.lenovo.com/support. 2) From the Select your product list, select Servers and Storage. 3) In the Browse by product window Family: list, select ThinkServer RS210. 4) Click Downloads and drivers to look for service information.
