The system service label, which is on the cover of the server, provides a quick response (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.

The following illustration shows the QR code for the Lenovo Flex System x240 M5 compute node.
