Chapter 6. RAID

What is RAID

Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) is a technology that provides increased storage functions and

reliability through redundancy. It also can improve data storage reliability and fault tolerance compared with

single-drive storage systems. Data loss resulting from a drive failure can be prevented by reconstructing

missing data from the remaining drives.

When a group of independent physical storage drives is set up to use RAID technology, they are in a RAID

array. This array distributes data across multiple storage drives, but the array appears to the host computer

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.

RAID Level

Your computer must have the minimum number of SATA storage drives installed for the supported level of

RAID below:

• RAID 0: striped disk array

– Consists of at least two SATA storage drives

– Supported strip size: 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB

– Better performance without fault tolerance

• RAID 1: mirrored disk array

– Consists of two SATA storage drives

– Improved reading performance and 100% redundancy

• RAID 5: block-level striped disk array with distributed parity

– Consists of at least three SATA storage drives

– Supported strip size: 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB

– Better performance and fault tolerance

• RAID 10: striped and mirrored disk array

– Consists of at least four SATA storage drives

– Supported strip size: 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, or 64 KB

– Better performance without fault tolerance

– Improved reading performance and 100% redundancy

Appendix A. System memory speed

The Intel® Xeon® or Intel Core™ microprocessor families compatible with this ThinkStation computer feature

an integrated memory controller. The memory controller provides the microprocessor with direct access to

the system memory. Therefore, the system memory speed will be determined by the memory module type,

frequency, size (capacity), the number of memory modules installed, and the microprocessor model.

Notes:

• The actual system memory speed of the memory modules varies depending on the microprocessor

model. For example, your computer comes with 2933 MT/s memory modules, but the microprocessor

only supports up to 2666 MT/s memory modules. Then the system memory speed will be no faster than

2666 MT/s.

• The microprocessor models supported in your computer might vary. For a list of supported

microprocessor models, contact the Lenovo Customer Support Center.

• The ECC memory modules are not supported on the computer models with Intel Core i3, i5, or i7

microprocessors.

Refer to the following information about the system memory speed:

• Memory module types:

– DDR4 ECC UDIMMs

– DDR4 non-ECC UDIMMs

• Memory module operating voltage: 1.2 V

• Memory module frequency: 2933 MT/s

Appendix B. Important safety information

Safety notices

This information can help you safely use your computer. Follow and retain all information included with your

computer. The information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase agreement or the

Limited Warranty. For more information, see "Warranty Information" in the Safety and Warranty Guide that

comes with your computer.

Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and effective. However, personal

computers are electronic devices. Power cords, power adapters, and other features can create potential

safety risks that can result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce these risks,

follow the instructions included with your product, observe all warnings on the product and in the operating

instructions, and review the information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the

information contained in this document and provided with your product, you can help protect yourself from

hazards and create a safer computer work environment. If the computer is used in a manner not specified by

the manufacturer, the protection provided by the computer may be impaired.

Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In addition, some products

(such as speakers and monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this

information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a coin-sized internal battery that

provides power to the system clock even when the computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information

applies to all computer products.

Conditions that require immediate action

Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product damage is serious enough

that the product should not be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an

authorized servicer.

As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is turned on.

On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from your

product. You might also hear sounds like popping, cracking, or hissing. These might merely mean that

an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner. Or, they might indicate a

potential safety issue. Do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the

Customer Support Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone numbers, see

the following Web site:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/supportphonelist

Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage, wear, or signs of danger. If you

have any question about the condition of a component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer

Support Center or the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product and have it

repaired, if necessary.

In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if you have any safety concerns

with your product, stop using the product and unplug it from the power source and

telecommunication lines until you can speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.

• Power cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or power supplies that are

cracked, broken, or damaged.

• Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.

• Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a battery, or a buildup of foreign

substances on the battery.

• A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the product.

• Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer product, the power cord, or

power adapter.

• The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to water.

• The product has been dropped or damaged in any way.

• The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions.

Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord) that is not manufactured for

or by Lenovo, stop using that product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions,

or until you get a suitable replacement.

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or

your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note: Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred

to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer

Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for

customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or

replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a

product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always ensure

that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any

questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in the computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the

following warnings are required for your safety.

Moving Parts:

Keep fingers and other parts of your body away from hazardous, moving parts. If you suffer an injury, seek

medical care immediately.
