Using passwords  
By using the Setup Utility program, you can set passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your computer  
and data. The following types of passwords are available:  
• Power-On Password  
• Administrator Password  
You do not have to set any passwords to use your computer. However, using passwords improves  
computing security. If you decide to set any passwords, read the following sections.  
Password considerations  
A password can be any combination of up to 64 alphabetic and numeric characters. For security reasons, it  
is recommended to use a strong password that cannot be easily compromised. To set a strong password,  
use the following guidelines:  
• Have at least eight characters in length  
• Contain at least one alphabetic character and one numeric character  
• Setup Utility program and hard disk drive passwords are not case sensitive  
• Not be your name or your user name  
• Not be a common word or a common name  
• Be significantly different from your previous passwords  
Power-On Password  
When a Power-On Password is set, you are prompted to type a valid password each time the computer is

Configuring RAID  
This topic provides information about how to configure Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) for  
your server.  
Note: The information about configuring RAID in this topic is applicable only in a Windows environment. For  
information about configuring RAID in a Linux environment, contact your Linux software provider.  
About RAID  
RAID, an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, is a technology that provides increased  
storage functions and reliability through redundancy. This is achieved by combining multiple hard disk drives  
into a logical unit, where data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called RAID levels.  
When a group of independent physical hard disk drives are set up to use RAID technology, they are in a  
RAID array. This array distributes data across multiple hard disk drives, but the array appears to the host  
server as one single storage unit. Creating and using RAID arrays provides high performance, such as the  
expedited I/O performance, because several drives can be accessed simultaneously.  
Chapter 5. Configuring the server 31  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
RAID drive groups also improve data storage reliability and fault tolerance compared to single-drive storage  
systems. Data loss resulting from a drive failure can be prevented by reconstructing missing data from the  
remaining drives.  
The following list describes some of the most commonly used RAID levels:  
• RAID 0: block-level striping without parity or mirroring  
Simple stripe sets are normally referred to as RAID 0. RAID 0 uses striping to provide high data  
throughput, especially for large files in an environment that does not require fault tolerance. RAID 0 has no  
redundancy and it provides improved performance and additional storage without fault tolerance. Any  
drive failure destroys the array and the likelihood of failure increases with more drives in the array. RAID  
0 does not implement error checking, so any error is uncorrectable. More drives in the array means  
higher bandwidth, but greater risk of data loss.  
RAID 0 requires a minimum number of two hard disk drives.  
• RAID 1: mirroring without parity or striping  
RAID 1 uses mirroring so that data written to one drive is simultaneously written to another drive. This is  
good for small databases or other applications that require small capacity but complete data redundancy.  
RAID 1 provides fault tolerance from disk errors or failures and continues to operate as long as at least  
one drive in the mirrored set is functioning. With appropriate operating system support, there can be  
increased read performance and only a minimal write performance reduction.  
RAID 1 requires a minimum number of two hard disk drives.  
• RAID 5: block-level striping with distributed parity  
RAID 5 uses disk striping and parity data across all drives (distributed parity) to provide high data  
throughput, especially for small random access. RAID 5 distributes parity along with the data and requires  
all drives but one to be present to operate; drive failure requires replacement, but the array is not  
destroyed by a single drive failure. Upon drive failure, any subsequent read operations can be calculated  
from the distributed parity so that the drive failure is masked from the end user. The array will have data  
loss in the event of a second drive failure and is vulnerable until the data that was on the failing drive is  
rebuilt onto a replacement drive. A single drive failure in the set will result in reduced performance of  
the entire set until the failing drive has been replaced and rebuilt.  
RAID 5 requires a minimum number of three hard disk drives.  
• RAID 10: a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1  
RAID 10 consists of striped data across mirrored spans. A RAID 10 drive group is a spanned drive  
group that creates a striped set from a series of mirrored drives. RAID 10 allows a maximum of eight  
spans. You must use an even number of drives in each RAID virtual drive in the span. The RAID 1  
virtual drives must have the same stripe size. RAID 10 provides high data throughput and complete data  
redundancy but uses a larger number of spans.  
RAID 10 requires a minimum number of four hard disk drives and also requires an even number of drives,  
for example, six hard disk drives or eight hard disk drives.

Guidelines  
This section provides some guidelines that you should read and understand before using your server.  
Precautions  
Before you use the server, ensure that you read and understand the following precautions:  
• Before using the product, be sure to read and understand the multilingual safety instructions and the  
Lenovo Limited Warranty (LLW) on the documentation DVD that comes with the product. Reading and  
understanding the safety instructions reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to your product.  
• When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply the most recent firmware  
updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is  
ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go  
to http://www.lenovo.com/drivers, and then follow the instructions on the Web page. See “Updating  
the firmware” on page 34 for more information.  
• Before you install optional hardware devices, ensure that the server is working correctly. If the server  
is not working correctly, see Chapter 7 “Troubleshooting and diagnostics” on page 83 to do basic  
troubleshooting. If the problem cannot be solved, see Chapter 8 “Getting information, help, and service”  
on page 89.  
• Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Put removed covers and other parts  
in a safe place.  
• If you must turn on the server while the server cover is removed, ensure that no one is near the server  
and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the server.  
• Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to lift a heavy object,  
observe the following precautions:  
– Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.  
– Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.  
– Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy object.  
– To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles.  
• Ensure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor,  
and other devices.  
• Back up all important data before you make changes to drives.  
• Have a small flat-blade screwdriver available.

• You do not have to turn off the server to install or replace a hot-swap redundant power supply, a  
hot-swap hard disk drive, or a hot-plug USB device. However, you must turn off the server before  
performing any step that involves installing, removing, or replacing adapter cables or non-hot-swap  
devices or components.  
• To view the LEDs on the system board and internal components, leave the server connected to power.  
• When you are finished working on the server, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.  
• When working inside the server, you might find some tasks easier if you lay the server on its side.  
Handling static-sensitive devices  
Attention: Do not open the static-protective package that contains the new part until the defective part has been  
removed from the server and you are ready to install the new part. Static electricity, although harmless to you,  
can seriously damage server components and parts.  
Any server part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to  
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects.  
Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the  
person handling the part are all at the same charge.  
Notes:  
• Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.  
• Ensure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.  
When you handle server parts and components, take these precautions to avoid static-electricity damage:  
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.  
• Always carefully handle the parts and other components (such as PCI Express cards, memory modules,  
system boards, and microprocessors) by edges or frame. Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed  
circuitry.  
• Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.  
• Before you replace a new part, touch the static-protective package containing the new part to an  
unpainted metal part of the server for at least two seconds. This reduces static electricity from the  
package and your body.  
• Remove the new part from the static-protective package and directly install it in the server without  
placing it on any other surface. If it is hard for you to do this in your specific situation, place the  
static-protective package of the new part on a smooth, level surface, and then place the new part on  
the static-protective package.  
• Do not place the part on the server cover or other metal surface.  
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces indoor humidity  
and increases static electricity.  
• Use a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when  
handling ESD-sensitive devices.  
• Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when  
you are wearing a wrist strap.  
• The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, it is recommended to wear an electrostatic  
discharge (ESD) wrist strap, if one is available. Ensure that you work in an ESD-safe area. Select a  
grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific service  
requirement.  
Note: The use of a grounding system to guard against ESD damage is desirable but not necessary.

– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.  
– When working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system, use an ESD common ground or  
reference point. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.  
– Use the ground prong of the ac plug on ac-operated servers.  
System reliability guidelines  
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, strictly follow these guidelines:  
• Each of the drive bays has a drive or a dummy tray installed.  
• If the server supports hot-swap redundant power supplies, each of the power supply bay has a redundant  
power supply installed, or one bay has a redundant power supply installed while the other bay is covered  
by a shield.  
• Leave adequate space around the server to ensure that the server cooling system works well. Leave  
approximately 50 mm (2 inches) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place  
objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, install the server cover before you turn on  
the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the server  
cover removed might damage server components.  
• Properly route the cables. For some options, such as PCI Express cards, follow the cabling instructions  
that come with the options in addition to the instructions in this manual.  
• When replacing a hot-swap drive, install the new hot-swap drive within two minutes of removal.  
• If your server has air ducts or air baffles, do not remove them while the server is running. Operating the  
server without the air ducts or air baffles might cause the microprocessor(s) to overheat.  
• For servers that support up to two microprocessors, ensure that the second microprocessor socket  
always contains a microprocessor or is protected by a microprocessor socket cover.  
Working inside the server with the power on  
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when the server is turned on might cause  
the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an ESD wrist strap  
or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.  
The server supports hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is  
removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside the server with the power on:  
• Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working inside  
the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server.  
• Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server.  
• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches.  
• Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils. These items might fall into the server as  
you lean over it.  
• Avoid dropping any metallic objects into the server, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws.  
Removing the server cover  
Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding “Safety information”  
on page iii and “Guidelines” on page 35.

Replacing the system board battery  
Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding “Safety information”  
on page iii and “Guidelines” on page 35.  
This section provides instructions on how to replace the system board battery.  
Your server has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and configuration information for  
built-in features. The system board battery keeps the information active when you turn off the server. The  
system board battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life; however, no battery  
lasts forever. If the system board battery fails, the date, time, and configuration information, including  
passwords, are lost and an error message is displayed when you turn on the server.  
DANGER  
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.  
When replacing the lithium coin cell battery, use only the same or an equivalent type that is  
recommended by the manufacturer. The battery contains lithium and can explode if not properly  
used, handled, or disposed of.  
Do not:  
• Throw or immerse into water  
• Heat to more than 100°C (212°F)  
• Repair or disassemble  
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.  
The following statement applies to users in the state of California, U.S.A.

12 and “Rear view of the server” on page 13.  
8. Depending on the parts you installed or replaced, you might need to confirm the updated information in  
the Setup Utility program. Refer to Chapter 5 “Configuring the server” on page 21.  
Note: In most areas of the world, Lenovo requires the return of the defective Customer Replaceable Unit  
(CRU). Information about this will come with the CRU or will come a few days after the CRU arrives.  
Connecting the cables  
Attention: To prevent damage to equipment, connect the power cords after completing the parts  
replacement.  
If the server cables and connector panel have color-coded connections, match the color of the cable end  
with the color of the connector. For example, match a blue cable end with a blue panel connector, a red  
cable end with a red connector, and so on. See “Rear view of the server” on page 13 for an illustration of the  
I/O connectors on the rear of the server.

Connecting external devices  
If you install a supported optional adapter, you can attach external devices to the server.  
To attach an external device, do the following:  
Note: If you are attaching an external device, see the documentation that comes with the device for  
information about cabling.  
1. Read and understand the Safety, Warranty, and Support Information at http://www.lenovo.com/support,  
and “Guidelines” on page 35.  
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices.  
3. Follow the instructions that come with the device to prepare it for installation and to connect it to  
the server.  
Updating the server configuration  
When you start the server for the first time after you install or remove an internal option or external device,  
you might receive a message saying that the configuration has changed. The Setup Utility program starts  
automatically so that you can save the new configuration settings.  
Some options have device drivers that you must install. For information about installing device drivers, see  
the documentation that comes with each option.  
You can obtain device drivers for operating systems that are not preinstalled at  
http://www.lenovo.com/support. Installation instructions are provided in readme files with the device

There are several security options available to help you prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to  
your server. In addition to physical locks, you can also prevent unauthorized use of your server by a software  
lock that locks the keyboard until a correct password is typed in.  
Note: Make sure that any security cables you installed do not interfere with other server cables.  
Integrated cable lock  
An integrated cable lock, sometimes referred to as the Kensington lock, can be used to secure your server to  
a desk, table, or other non-permanent fixture. The cable lock attaches to the integrated cable lock slot at the  
rear of your server and is operated with a key. The cable lock also locks the buttons used to remove the  
server cover. This is the same type of lock used with many notebook computers. You can order an integrated  
cable lock directly from Lenovo by searching for Kensington at:  
http://www.lenovo.com/support  
Padlock  
Your server is equipped with a padlock loop so that the cover cannot be removed when a padlock is installed.  
Password protection  
To deter unauthorized use of your server, you can use the Setup Utility program to set a password. When  
you turn on your server, you are prompted to type the password. The server cannot be used until a valid  
password is typed in. Refer to Chapter 5 “Configuring the server” on page 21 for more information.

Particulate contamination  
Attention: Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive gases acting alone or in  
combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the  
server that is described in this document. Risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate  
levels or concentrations of harmful gases include damage that might cause the server to malfunction or  
cease functioning altogether. This specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended  
to avoid such damage. The limits must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous  
other factors, such as temperature or moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates  
or environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer. In the absence of specific limits that are  
set forth in this document, you must implement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are  
consistent with the protection of human health and safety. If Lenovo determines that the levels of particulates  
94 ThinkServer TS140 User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
         
or gases in your environment have caused damage to the server, Lenovo may condition provision of repair  
or replacement of servers or parts on implementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such  
environmental contamination. Implementation of such remedial measures is a customer responsibility.
