LeSI factory integration
Lenovo manufacturing implements a robust testing and integration program to insure LeSI components are fully operational when shipped out of the factory. In addition to the standard component level validation performed on all hardware components produced by Lenovo, LeSI performs rack level testing to verify that the LeSI cluster operates as a solution. The rack level testing and validation includes the following:
- Performing a power on test. Assure device power is present, with no error indicators
- Set up RAID (when required)
- Set up storage devices and verify functionality
- Validate network connectivity and functionality
- Verify functionality of server hardware, network infrastructure, and server configuration correctness. Verify health of components
- Configure all devices per Best Recipe software settings
- Perform stress testing of server CPU and memory via software and power cycling
- Data collection for quality records and test results
LeSI onsite installation
Lenovo experts can manage the physical installation of your pre-integrated Racks so you can quickly benefit from your investment. Working at a time convenient to you, the technician will unpack and inspect the systems at your site, install them, verify operation, and dispose of the packaging at the on-site location. Any LeSI solution is eligible for the basic Lenovo Hardware Installation services. Customized installation services are also available to meet the specific needs of the client.
Before installation, the client should complete the following steps to ensure the hardware will be successfully installed:
- Backing up the data being migrated to the new hardware
- Ensuring the new hardware is available and in place
- Designating a representative who is available and able to assist the technician with access, approvals,
- Providing a safe workspace and appropriate access for the technician
Once the client is ready, an expert technician will perform the installation. This process will include the following:
- Initial removal of the product from packaging, including inspection for damage
- Physical installation of the product per the associated documentation
- Physical connection and powering on of hardware
- Consolidation of all packaging materials and disposal within your site
Lenovo can also provide comprehensive onsite configuration of software, including integration and validation for operating systems and software, virtualization and high-availability configurations.
Client Site Integration Kit onsite installation
Besides shipping fully integrated into the Lenovo 1410 rack cabinet, LeSI solution gives clients the choice of shipping with the Lenovo Client Site Integration Kit (7X74) which allows clients to have Lenovo or a business partner install the solution in a rack of their own choosing. The Lenovo Client Site Integration Kit enables clients to gain the interoperability warranty benefit of a LeSI solution while also providing them flexibility in custom-fitting into the client datacenter.
With the Lenovo Client Site Integration Kit, the LeSI solution is tested at the component level in Lenovo manufacturing, with integration and validation performed on-site by Lenovo Professional Services or the Business Partner. Servers, switches, and other items are packaged in individual boxes with a ship group box for cables, publications, labeling, and other rack documentation. Clients are required to purchase installation services from Lenovo or a business partner. The installation team will install the solution at the customer site into the customer provided rack per racking diagrams and point-to-point instructions.

Warranty options
LeSI exclusive components (Machine Types 1410, 7X74, 0724, 0449; for the other Hardware and Software components configured within LeSI their respective warranty terms apply) have a three-year customer-replaceable unit (CRU) and onsite limited (for field-replaceable units [FRUs] only) warranty with standard call center support during normal business hours and 9x5 Next Business Day Parts Delivered.
Some countries might have different warranty terms and conditions than the standard warranty. This is due to local business practices or laws in the specific country. Local service teams can assist in explaining country-specific terms when needed. Examples of country-specific warranty terms are second or longer business day parts delivery or parts-only base warranty.
If warranty terms and conditions include onsite labor for repair or replacement of parts, Lenovo will dispatch a service technician to the customer site to perform the replacement. Onsite labor under base warranty is limited to labor for replacement of parts that have been determined to be field-replaceable units (FRUs). Parts that are determined to be customer-replaceable units (CRUs) do not include onsite labor under base warranty.
If warranty terms include parts-only base warranty, Lenovo is responsible for delivering only replacement parts that are under base warranty (including FRUs) that will be sent to a requested location for self-service. Parts-only service does not include a service technician being dispatched onsite. Parts must be changed at customer’s own cost and labor and defective parts must be returned following the instructions supplied with the spares parts.

Solution Interoperability Support
On top of their individual warranty and maintenance scope or support entitlement, LeSI offers solution-level interoperability support for HPC and AI configurations based on the above selection of Lenovo ThinkSystem portfolio and OEM components.
The extensive testing results in a “Best Recipe” release of software and firmware levels Lenovo warrants to work seamlessly together as a fully integrated data center solution instead of a collection of individual components at the time of implementation.
To see the latest Best Recipe for Scalable Infrastructure at Lenovo, see the following link:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/HT505184#5
The Solution Support is engaged by opening a hardware ticket based on the LeSI Rack (Model 1410) or LeSI Client Site Integration Kit (Model 7X74). The LeSI Support team then will triage the issue and recommend next steps for you, including potentially to open tickets with other components of the solution.
For issues that require debugging beyond hardware and firmware (Driver, UEFI, IMM/XCC) an additional ticket will have to be opened with the software vendor (e.g. Lenovo SW Support or 3rd party SW vendor) to assist working towards a fix. The LeSI Support team will then work with the SW Support team in isolating root cause and fixing the defect
For more information about opening tickets, as well as the scope of support for different LeSI components, see the Lenovo Scalable Infrastructure Support Plan information page.
When a cluster ships the most recent Best Recipe is its compliant version, which is always defined exactly for that specific Scalable Infrastructure release and the cluster is delivered as a solution of that specific release. Using a Support call clients can request a review if their solution is also compatible with a newer Best Recipe release and if it is, are able to upgrade to that while maintaining solution interoperability support.
As long as a cluster (Model 1410, 7X74) is under Lenovo warranty or maintenance entitlement, full solution interoperability support will be provided for the original Best Recipes. Even when newer Best Recipes are available the previous Recipe will remain valid and supported.
Of course, any client is free to choose to not adhere to the Best Recipe and instead deploy different software and firmware versions or integrate other components that were not tested for interoperability. While Lenovo cannot warrant interoperability with those deviations from the tested scope, a client continues to receive full break & fix support for the components based on the individual warranty and maintenance entitlement of the components. This is comparable to the level of support clients will receive when not buying it as a LeSI solution, but building the solution from individual components – so-called “roll your own” (RYO).
In those cases, to minimize risk we suggest still staying as close as possible to the Best Recipe even when deviating. We also suggest when deviating first to test it on a small portion of the cluster and only roll it out completely if this test was stable.
For clients who need to upgrade the firmware or software of a component – for example due to OS entitlement support issues or Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) fixes – that is part of the best recipe, a support call should be placed on the 1410/7X74 rack and serial number. Lenovo product engineering will review the proposed changes, and advise the client on the viability of an upgrade path.
