What's going on guys it is Bernardo from the BTNHD and yes I have an awesome unboxing slash
first impressions of I don't know what's inside this box.
The only thing that I know about this box so far is coming from Lenovo right that's
pretty easy on the side it basically tells me it is a think system, SE350 got my trusty
nice little pocket knife and open this guy up and let's open it up.
alright.
we got the nice little Lenovo
folder with all the information details logging into the xclarity controller because that
is how we are going to manage the server.
Awesome, get this information to the side and give me the username and password.
So I can log into the controller, this little box right here is probably the power cable.
Awesome.
Got this nice little envelope that states please keep the information envelope recovery
use awesome put that to the side, oww got two heavy gauge power cables.
Awesome.
We have a
USB extension.
Nice.
Oh, we have wireless antennas.
One, two, four of them.
Awesome.
Put this stuff to the side
and a bunch of little plugs
nice, awesome.
We have safety and warranty you know wireless LAN it does have a wireless module inserted
cool
inside this little box right here.
This is the power brick.
One of the power bricks at least.
Put that to the side.
what's this other box right here.
looks like another power brick
holy moly this guy comes with two power bricks and we have these two little guys right here
let put that to the side, this guy is so small look at it, Wow, how
beautiful is that, wow - cool.
All right, so the SE 350 has a lot of ports, so this is actually the front panel right
now.
Again, this is my first impressions, so I definitely need to look all this stuff up
so I'm just going at it and just telling you guys what I think this, you know, all this
stuff is about right.
So automatically this is a VGA port I'm definitely going to hook up my monitor here so I can
manage it.
we have 1, 2, 3, 4 SFP ports.
This is for your 10 gigabit and this is your one gigabit.
Awesome.
This right here looks like your management port.
We have two rj 45 I don't know the speed as of yet so I'm assuming maybe a gigabit.
You have two USB ports, this is probably 3.1 or 3.0 USB ports.
Awesome.
And then you have your mini USB port right here.
Your power port.
And this right here is probably your LED indicator, this is actually your reset this slide right
here actually gives you the information to log in into your controller.
Cool.
So let's turn this guy around and see what's in the back so on the back.
We got 1, 2, 3 - 3 fans.
We got 1, 2, 3, 4 antenna ports, we have an additional rj 45, for which I have the slightest
clue.
The speed.
We have two power ports right here this is where we are going to insert our power adapters.
And last but not least we have two USB ports I'm assuming about 2.0.
This is where I'm going to hook up my keyboard and mouse.
Awesome.
Alright so before I even hook this guy up with a keyboard, a mouse and a monitor and
boot it up for you guys.
At the very top of the SE 350 there are some indicators right here on the top.
I know probably one of them, tells you, like the life on the hard drive, and maybe if you
know there's any errors, definitely need to look that up, when I do the review for you
guys, but I do see this nice little tab right here which kind of tells me that I'm able
to open up the system so I'm gonna open this guy up.
And there we go.
Awesome.
Cool. lift it up,
Beautiful.
Cool.
So we got the panel right here which actually tells you what's what
nice look at that.
Oh, that's pretty fly actually gives you a wrench.
Oh, like I said before three fans in the back.
Nice. we got the heat sink.
We got 1, 2, 3, 4 memory sticks, which actually fills up all the DIMMs this machine comes
with four DIMMs, if I take a closer look, it looks like.
Each memory stick is about 64 gigs.
Wow, that's a lot of memory for this machine, crazy awesome I'm trying to locate the hard
drive of this particular machine hard drive is right here it looks like a m.2, it looks
like these two of them.
So this right here, this entire system right here is actually where you house your m dot
two solid state drives while this is awesome such a small little guy.
Alright so I'm gonna close this guy up real quick.
I'm going to plug in the monitor and the keyboard and mouse and hook up a Ethernet cable to
it, so I can log into the controller, and actually get a good understanding of some
of the specifications on this machine.
Alright, so I got everything gathered up I got my keyboard I got my mouse I got my power
cables I got my monitor my surge protector I got all that good stuff that I need to set
up the thinksystem SE350 from Lenovo.
So let's get right into it.
So the first thing I'm going to do is going to grab these four antennas these wireless
antennas I'm going to hook them up.
Take the stuff out of the plastic.
take this one out here, and take this one here, definitely don't want to rip these plastics
up because I have to wrap everything up nice and neatly.
When I ship it back to Lenovo.
So, take this one out here and now.
From my understanding is that these little skinny guys belong on this in, which is close
to the power, you know, port.
So, i'm going to insert it here that's one
another one goes right next to it.
Awesome.
And these two flat ones.
Go to the end right here, beautiful, and let's insert the last one here.
So I did a little bit of reading and this port right here is a rj 45 for a serial rj
45.
I'm actually going to plug the power supplies right now.
And let's lift the antennas up.
and we got another power supply.
Awesome.
Cool.
So we got that stuff hooked up.
And I'm going to actually turn this stuff around.
real quick.
Awesome.
i got the power heavy gauge power cables, and I'm going to plug this guy in here.
I'm going to do the same thing with the other powers supply
the keyboard and mouse I'm actually going to use the two USB ports behind the device
on.
And for my
Ethernet right here
that's connected to my network.
Now I'm gonna actually take the ethernet cable and connect it to the front now because I'm
controlling it with the XCC controller.
This is the management port right there so I'm going to plug this cable there.
These two guys are the rj 45 I think gigabit, and then for our monitor we got a VGA.
Plug that guy right in front.
All right, I think i got everything set up the only thing I have to do is plug everything
up.
Rotate the monitor a little bit so you guys can get a better look of what's going on when
I turn it on.
All right, so I'm gonna plug everything up.
Power awesome so Power button is located right there.
Not going to press it as yet sometimes when you actually hook up the power on a server
it turns on automatically.
it didn't sound like it that to this one.
So I lets press that power button and see what happens.
oh there it goes.
Awesome.
Really silent I don't hear anything that's kind of bothering me a little bit.
You would
think it be like but it's not doing that alright now it's going
that's what I was looking for when you starting up a server Yes, kind of freaked me out a
little bit I didn't hear that I wanted to hear that that tells me that the SE 350 is
alive and it is ready to be configured.
Awesome.
All right, so I'm gonna let this guy boot up, and then we're going to look at some of
the specifications the details.
Most likely, I need a laptop inside my network so I can actually configure it, and beautiful.
Awesome.
Alright so I'm gonna let this happen.
And then we're going to take a closer look I'll see if I can get a laptop hooked it up
to the network, and then we can take a look at
the controller.
Alright, so I finally got some information of the BMC IP not the one that I want I'm
going to press
F1 real quick.
I want to get inside the system setup to look at some of the specifications automatically
this machine has 256 gigs.
Awesome 16 cores one processor.
It is an Intel Xeon did not see the model or the series, but the BMC IP is the same
IP address that I have for
my SCCM so I need to change that I'm going to have a conflict within my network.
Alright, so I need to change that IP address ASAP.
But I
really want to look at some of the specifications I did not take a glance on the processor but
256 gigs that is a lot.
Wow.
All right, so it finally booted inside the system setup,
and for the information, or you know the specifications on this particular machine it looks like it's
running an Intel Xeon d 2183.
I think that's an IT CPU with clock speed of two point 20 gigahertz.
16 cores.
Four DIMMs in total, right.
See if I can take the mouse.
here we go.
64 gigs, each DIMM total of 256 gigs.
Wow, that's awesome partition 147 gigabytes, partition two 894 gigabytes, partition type
three 394 gigabytes.
So it looks like, I've got three hard drives.
Inside this machine.
Alright, so I have a machine that's part of the same network as the thinksystem SE350.
I'm going to launch up a browser now you can launch on any browser that you like Chrome,
IE, Firefox it's up to you.
Alright, so I have my cheat sheet right here on how to log into the xclarity controller,
the username is user ID and the password is password, with a zero, not a O right so we
are going to do that.
I think it's capitalized so we are going to do user ID.
Sorry.
We're going to do user ID.
And for the password will be password,
all caps.
Remember the O is a zero we're going to hit login.
And there we go we are now inside our controller.
Beautiful.
Now, the first thing that I need to do is change the IP address of this machine.
So I need to figure that out.
I'm going to go inside the BMC configuration.
Within here I'm going to go to network within network.
I am going to change this IP address.
As you can see the current IP address is 192 168 1 110.
I do not want that IP address at all.
So we are going to do is the method, I am going to use a static IP address, and I already
have an IP address already so I'm going to 192 168 1 115 the subnet.
I'm going to leave it as is the default gateway I'm going to set it up to this default gateway.
I'm going to apply it.
And yes, apply the settings and successfully.
It's done.
So what I'm going to do, I'm actually going to reboot the machine.
Once I reboot the machine, then I'm able to log into the new IP address using 115 rather
than 110 because again 110 is my SCCM server so I don't want to have any conflict between
those two IP addresses, and that's it guys I'm going to cut it right here with today's
unboxing slash first impressions, and I'm gonna follow up with a review.
If you guys
have any questions what you want me to do
with the SE 350 leave it at the bottom of the comment section, do not forget about hitting
that thumbs up, and smash that subscribe button also to not forget about hitting that notification
bell to get the latest and greatest from this guy, and I'll catch you guys on the next one.
Peace out.
