  Do not purchase unless you want to operate the server without a hard disk and only with the 8GB RAM supplied as standard.

  Why Digitec sells such a device at all is beyond me. The device does not include a hard disk, which would not be a problem in itself. You can simply order the disc you want. But the rude awakening comes when you want to install the disc as usual. The appropriate cable to supply the disc with power is missing. Only after 3 weeks was the support team able to send me the following answer:
  
  "According to your description, you are looking for cable no. 2.
  Unfortunately, this is not available and cannot be accommodated.
  I regret not being able to give you a positive answer and thank you for your understanding."
  
  I had to order the cable in the USA, otherwise I would never have been able to connect my purchased SSD.
  In this server, the HardDisks are powered by the mainboard and not the usual power supply.
  Which is very strange, but apparently common in the USA.
  
  In addition, there was the problem with the RAM. Although I had ordered additional RAM (exactly according to the specification), the mainboard strictly refused it. This was signalled by corresponding sounds from the mainboard.
  
  Lenovo support was able to help me immediately and clearly analyse the tones. There was only one solution => use original Lenovo RAM. Lenovo immediately made me an offer for this. 32 GB RAM would cost more than the whole server !!!
  Which of course is not an option either. I will now probably or over operate the server with only 8 GB. :-(
  
  Therefore, dear Digitec, take the server out of the sales programme or offer the necessary power cable and compatible RAM's with it, unless you want to receive more such bad reviews. more
