The pull-down menus are as follows:. Families: These are the different server families available from Lenovo. Servers: These are the individual servers. For complex searches, the follow syntax is supported:.To use compound search terms, use logical operators OR and AND.
The operators are not case sensitive. For example, the following returns results that contain either Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012:2008 or 2012. To add additional search terms along with the AND/OR logical operators, use parenthesis. For example, the following returns results that include the words x240 and M5 as well as either 2008 or 2012:x240 m5 (2008 or 2012)Another example is the following search which shows Windows Server 2008 R2 support of both the x3550 M5 (8869) and x3650 M5 (8871):(8869 or 8871) 2008 R2.
To ensure words are adjacent, use double quotes to form a phrase. For example:'x240 m5' (2008 or 2012)You would use double quotes if you wanted to search on text that includes a period such as a version number.
For example:rhel '7.2'. To exclude a term, precede it with a dash. For example to exclude any Xen entries from a search of SLES support on the RD650:rd650 sles -xen. Use? And. as wildcards.?
