Frequently Asked Questions - System x3400 M2 LENOVO
How do I reset the IMM password on the System x3400 M2?
To reset the IMM password, power off the server, then locate the IMM reset jumper on the system board (JP1). Move the jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3 for 5 seconds, then return to pins 1-2. Power on and use default credentials: username USERID, password PASSW0RD (zero).
What is the maximum RAM capacity and supported DIMM types?
The server supports up to 192 GB of DDR3 ECC memory using 12 DIMM slots. Supported DIMMs are PC3-10600 (1333 MHz) or PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) registered or unbuffered ECC modules. Mixing speeds is not recommended.
How do I install a hot-swap hard drive?
Ensure the drive carrier is compatible (2.5-inch or 3.5-inch). Open the front bezel, unlock the drive bay handle, insert the drive carrier until it clicks, then lock the handle. The LED will indicate activity. No tools required.
Can I use non-IBM/Lenovo branded memory?
While third-party memory may work, Lenovo recommends using Lenovo-certified memory for reliability and warranty compliance. Uncertified DIMMs may cause boot failures or system instability.
How do I check system health without a monitor?
Use the Integrated Management Module (IMM) via the web interface. Connect to the IMM IP address (default 192.168.70.125) using a browser. Login with USERID/PASSW0RD to view sensors, logs, and remote console.
Why is my server beeping continuously on power-on?
Continuous beeps usually indicate a memory or power supply error. Check the IMM event log for details. Reseat DIMMs and PSUs. If using two CPUs, ensure both CPU power connectors are attached.
How do I replace the system battery?
Power off and unplug the server. Open the top cover. Locate the CR2032 lithium battery on the system board. Gently push the metal tab to release the battery, then insert a new one with the + side up. Close the cover and reconfigure date/time.
What is the supported RAID configuration for boot drives?
The onboard LSI MegaRAID supports RAID 0, 1, and 10. For boot, RAID 1 (mirror) is recommended. Use the WebBIOS utility during POST (Ctrl+H) to create arrays. Ensure all drives are the same capacity.
How do I update firmware on the System x3400 M2?
Download the Bootable Update CD ISO from Lenovo support. Burn to a CD or use virtual media via IMM. Boot from the disc and follow on-screen prompts. Alternatively, use UpdateXpress System Packs for OS-based updates.
My server is not detecting a newly installed hard drive. What should I do?
First, check the drive is SAS or SATA and the backplane supports it. Verify the drive is fully seated in the carrier and the carrier is locked. Reboot and enter WebBIOS (Ctrl+H) to scan for new drives. If not seen, try different slot.
