Chapter 1. Introduction

The ThinkSystem DW612S Neptune DWC Solution 6U enclosure designed for high performance computing.
This solution includes a single enclosure that can contain up to six ThinkSystem high-density servers, which
are designed to deliver a dense, scalable platform for distributed enterprise and hyperconverged.

Features

Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key considerations in the design of
your solution. These design features make it possible for you to customize the system hardware to meet your
needs today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future.
Your solution implements the following features and technologies:
• Features on Demand
If a Features on Demand feature is integrated in the solution or in an optional device that is installed in the
solution, you can purchase an activation key to activate the feature. For information about Features on
Demand, see:

• Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC)
The Lenovo XClarity Controller is the common management controller for Lenovo ThinkSystem server
hardware. The Lenovo XClarity Controller consolidates multiple management functions in a single chip on
the server system board (system board assembly). Some of the features that are unique to the Lenovo
XClarity Controller are enhanced performance, higher-resolution remote video, and expanded security
options.
The server supports Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2). For additional information about Lenovo XClarity
Controller 2 (XCC2), refer to
• UEFI-compliant server firmware
Lenovo ThinkSystem firmware is Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) compliant. UEFI replaces
BIOS and defines a standard interface between the operating system, platform firmware, and external
devices.
Lenovo ThinkSystem solutions are capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based
operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as well as UEFI-compliant adapters.
Note: The solution does not support Disk Operating System (DOS).
• Active Memory
The Active Memory feature improves the reliability of memory through memory mirroring. Memory
mirroring mode replicates and stores data on two pairs of DIMMs within two channels simultaneously. If a
failure occurs, the memory controller switches from the primary pair of memory DIMMs to the backup pair
of DIMMs.
• Large system-memory capacity
The solution supports synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) registered dual inline
memory modules (DIMMs) with error correcting code (ECC). For more information about the specific types
and maximum amount of memory, see "Technical Specifications" in the User Guide of each high-density
server..
• Integrated network support
