The specifications of the connections in the two Wired Network Modules are as follows:

  • 10 GbE connections:
    • RJ45 ports or SFP+ cages, depending on the Network Module
    • Routed from the networking functions integrated in the Xeon-D processor
    • Based on the Intel X722 controller
    • Supports iWARP
    • Port 1 of the 10GbE ports can be shared with the XCC management processor for Wake-on-LAN and NC-SI support
  • 1GbE RJ45 ports
    • Based on Intel I350 controller
  • 1GbE XCC management ports:
    • Direct connections to the XClarity Controller (XCC) management processor
    • Based on Realtek RTL8363SC controller
    • Two ports, either as a redundant pair of ports or can be used as a daisy chain with multiple nearby HX1021 servers

Both Wired Network Modules provide the ability to daisy-chain the XCC management connections thereby reducing the number of ports you need in your management switches and reducing the number of switch ports needed for systems management. With this feature you can connect the first HX1021 to your management network and the adjacent HX1021 connects to the first HX1021. The third HX1021 can then connect to the second HX1021. Up to 7 servers can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration.

The two management ports of the Wired Network Modules can also be used to form a redundant pair. In such a configuration, they share the same IP address; redundancy is at the Layer 2 level.

The SFP+ ports in the SFP+ Wired Network Module support the transceivers listed in the following table.

Systems management

The HX1021 contains an integrated service processor, XClarity Controller (XCC), which provides advanced control, monitoring, and alerting functions. The XCC is based on the Pilot4 XE401 baseboard management controller (BMC) using a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 service processor.

Topics in this section:

Activation

Activation is an optional security feature of the HX1021 that ensures that the system delivered from the factory is only used by its intended recipient and that all data and applications remains secure. Activation is enabled on a factory order when the Security Pack Enabled feature code (feature BLZ2) is selected as described in the Security Pack section.

Enabled by default: Activation is enabled by default for new CTO orders. Activation can be disabled in the factory order as described in the Security Pack section.

If Activation is enabled, the system is delivered in system lockdown and will require activation before operation. There are three ways the server can be activated:

  • Using a mobile device (iOS or Android) connect to the server to the mini-USB port on the front of the server and running the ThinkShield Edge Mobile Management app.
  • Connecting the system to the Internet via the XCC management port on the front of the server and accessing the ThinkShield Key Vault Portal from a web browser on another system.
  • In a disconnected mode, where neither a mobile device or an internet connection to the HX1021 are available.

Details of the activation process are described in the following documents:

  • Activation Guide (2-page flyer that is included with the server)
  • SE350 Setup Guide, Chapter 4

These documents are available from:
https://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/SE350/pdf_files.html?cp=2_0_0

For further information on activation and the use of the ThinkShield Edge Mobile Management app, including videos and tours, see this support page:
https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht509033

Local management

The HX1021 offers a front operator panel with key LED status indicators, as shown in the following figure.

HX1021 front operator panel
Figure 13. Front operator panel

The buttons on the front of the server:

  • Power button
  • Identification button - turns on the LED housed within the button as well as passing the signal to the XCC for display remotely in XClarity Administrator
  • NMI reset pinhole - sends a NMI signal to the processor thereby causing a blue-screen trap of the operating system

The LEDs on the front of the server are as follows:

  • Power LED (green) - indicated activation and power status, as follows:
    • Off - Server does not have power applied
    • Fast flash (4 times per second) - Either server has just had power applied and is not ready to be powered on yet, or the server has not been activated yet
    • Slow flash (once per second) - Server is ready to be powered on
    • On solid - Server is powered on
  • Identification LED (blue) - lights when the button is pressed or when the function is activated remotely in XClarity Controller.
  • System error LED (yellow)

The front of the server also houses an information pull-out tab (also known as the network access tag). See Figure 2 for the location. A label on the tab shows the network information (MAC address and other data) to remotely access the XCC service processor.

System status with XClarity Mobile

The HX1021 also supports local systems management using the XClarity Mobile app. The app includes a tethering function where you can connect your Android or iOS device to the server via the micro-USB port on the server.

You will need a mobile device with a supported operating system installed (iOS 12 or later, Android 5.0 or later), plus the USB charging cable that comes with your phone. You will also need the USB-to-mini-USB cable that ships with the system.

The steps to connect the mobile device are as follows:

  1. Connect the mobile device via your USB cable and the supplied USB-to-mini-USB cable to the HX1021's mini-USB port with the management symbol USB Management symbol
  2. In iOS or Android settings, enable Personal Hotspot or USB Tethering
  3. Launch the Lenovo XClarity Mobile app

Once connected you can see the following information:

  • Server status including error logs (read only, no login required)
  • Server management functions (XClarity login credentials required)

Remote management

Remote server management is provided through industry-standard interfaces:

  • Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Version 2.0
  • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Version 3 (no SET commands; no SNMP v1)
  • Common Information Model (CIM-XML)
  • Representational State Transfer (REST) support
  • Redfish support (DMTF compliant)
  • Web browser - HTML 5-based browser interface (Java and ActiveX not required) using a responsive design (content optimized for device being used - laptop, tablet, phone) with NLS support

Remote management is available via the following connections:

  • Via the dedicated Ethernet ports for management. The wired network modules have a dedicated RJ45 Ethernet port for remote management. See the Network Modules section for the location of these ports.
  • Via Port 1 of the 10 GbE SFP+ ports supports NC-SI to allow sharing of the Ethernet port between the operating system and remote management.

The HX1021 has XCC Enterprise as a standard feature. XCC Enterprise includes a virtual presence (remote control and remote media) capability for remote server management.

The remote control functions include the following:

  • Remotely viewing video with graphics resolutions up to 1600x1200 at 75 Hz with up to 23 bits per pixel, regardless of the system state
  • Remotely accessing the server using the keyboard and mouse from a remote client
  • Capturing blue-screen errors
  • International keyboard mapping support
  • LDAP-based authentication
  • Boot Capture
  • Remote mounting of ISO and IMG files

Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized resource management solution designed to reduce complexity, speed response, and enhance the availability of Lenovo systems and solutions.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hardware management for ThinkSystem servers, in addition to ThinkServer, System x, and Flex System servers. The administration dashboard is based on HTML 5 and allows fast location of resources so tasks can be run quickly.

Because Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not require any agent software to be installed on the managed endpoints, there are no CPU cycles spent on agent execution, and no memory is used, which means that up to 1GB of RAM and 1 - 2% CPU usage is saved, compared to a typical managed system where an agent is required.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides management function to systems, including the following:

  • Discovery
  • Inventory
  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Call home
  • Centralized user management
  • Cryptography modes, server certificates, and encapsulation
  • Firmware updates

Security

The HX1021 offers a number of security features, both electronic and physical.

Security features of the HX1021
Figure 14. Security features of the H1021

Physical security features:

  • Intrusion detection

    The server has an intrusion switch that rests against the server cover. In the event that the cover is removed, the event is recorded and actions can be taken to secure the server. The intrusion switch is standard.

  • Motion detection

    The server has an onboard G-sensor accelerometer (disabled by default) that will generate an event if the server is moved. As part of the setup process in XCC, you specify the orientation of the server - desktop, ceiling, wall mount. You can also specify the sensitivity of the motion detection. The motion detection feature is standard.

  • Support for a Kensington lock and cable

    The server has a slot on the side of the server which a customer-supplied Kensington lock and cable can be attached to, to help prevent theft of the server.

  • Intrusion arm/disarm feature

    The Kensington cable slot can also double as an electronic switch to disarm the intrusion switch detection, so that authorized servicing of the hardware can be performed without triggering the security actions. Available as the Tamper Detection Kit, CTO only. The kit includes a Kensington lock (without cable) that is attached to the outside of the server.

    Note: This intrusion arm/disarm feature is not supported with the 1U or 2U rack enclosure mounting options, due to physical restrictions with the Kensington lock.

  • Front bezel with key lock

    Optional component that mounts on the front of the server that restricts access to networking connectors on the front of the server. See Mounting components for more information.

Electronic security features include:

  • Automatic actions on tamper detection

    In the event of an intrusion or movement, the server can be configured in XCC to perform actions, including server shutdown and disabling remote access to the XCC from the network ports (referred to as the BMC network bridge).

  • Self-encrypting (SED) M.2 drives that ensure data is secured when the drives are powered off
  • Administrator password and a power-on password in UEFI

The server is NIST SP 800-147B compliant.

Ordering information for the security components is listed in the following table.
