The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node is a high-availability, scalable compute node that is optimized to support the next-generation microprocessor technology and is ideally suited for medium and large businesses.
The Lenovo NeXtScale nx360 M5 compute node is supported in the Lenovo NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure only.
Packaged with the compute node are software CDs that help you configure hardware, install device drivers, and install the operating system.
If firmware and documentation updates are available, you can download them from the Lenovo website. The server might have features that are not described in the documentation that comes with the server, and the documentation might be updated occasionally to include information about those features, or technical updates might be available to provide additional information that is not included in the server documentation.

The model number and serial number are on the ID label on the bezel on the front of the compute node, and on a label on the bottom of the compute node that is visible when the compute node is not in the NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure. If the compute node comes with an RFID tag, the RFID tag covers the ID label on the bezel on the front of the compute node, but you can open the RFID tag to see the ID label behind it.
In addition, the system service label, which is on the cover of the server, provides a QR code for mobile access to service information. You can scan the QR code using a QR code reader and scanner with a mobile device and get quick access to the Lenovo Service Information website. The Lenovo Service Information website provides additional information for parts installation and replacement videos, and error codes for server support.
