ThinkServer EasyUpdate Firmware Updater

The ThinkServer EasyUpdate Firmware Updater program (hereinafter referred to as the Firmware Updater
program) enables you to maintain your server firmware up-to-date and helps you avoid unnecessary server
outages. The Firmware Updater program is provided on the Lenovo Support Web site. For more information
about downloading and using the Firmware Updater program, see “Updating the firmware” on page 80.

BIOS and BMC firmware update utility

The BIOS and BMC firmware keeps updating after the shipment of the server. Lenovo maintains pages
on the Support Web site and provides the BIOS and BMC firmware update utility with instructions for
download to help you update the BIOS and BMC firmware if needed. For more information, see “Updating or
recovering the BIOS” on page 67
and or “Updating the firmware” on page 80.

RAID configuration utilities

Your server supports onboard SATA software RAID and advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID configurations
if you have a required RAID card installed. For detailed information, see “Configuring RAID” on page 71.

PC-Doctor for DOS

The PC-Doctor for DOS is a diagnostic tool that you can use to test and gather information about your system
in order to ensure your system is working correctly and resolve any hardware issues. You can download
the latest version of this diagnostic program from http://support.lenovo.com and create a self-starting
DOS-based diagnostic utility that you can use to detect failing hardware components independently of the
operating system. For more information, see “Using the diagnostic program” on page 172.

Locations

This topic provides information to help you locate your server components.

Machine type, model, and serial number label

This topic helps you locate the two labels that contain the machine type, model, and serial number
information for your server. The two labels are the same. One is on the front bezel and the other is on
the chassis.

The machine type, model, and serial number identify your server. When you contact Lenovo for help, the
information helps support technicians to identify your server and provide faster service.
