- One or two compute system boards, each comprising:
- Two processors
- 24 DIMMs
- Six hot-swap fans, accessible even when the compute tray is installed
- 12x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays
- One PCIe slot reserved for a RAID adapter for internal SAS/SATA drives
The following figure shows the rear of the compute tray with its two compute system boards, one of them removed.
Figure 5. Compute tray with two compute system boards
The compute system board is shown in the following figure. Each system board holds two processors and 24 DIMM sockets, 12 per processor. The system board also has connections for the NVMe ports used to connect to the PCIe NVMe drive bays at the front of the server.
Figure 6. Compute system board
Processors installed in the compute system boards are numbered as shown in the following figure.
Figure 7. Processor numbering (viewed from the rear of the compute trays)
For some four-socket storage-rich configurations, a storage tray is used in the upper tray area instead of a compute tray. The following figure shows the key components of the storage tray.
Figure 8. Storage tray
All slots and ports at the rear of the server are housed in the I/O tray as shown in the following figure.
Figure 9. I/O tray
System architecture
The following figure shows the architecture of the SR950 at a high level. The system boards with processors and memory are installed in compute trays along with the drive bays and storage adapter. The I/O board houses all onboard PCIe slots as well as the slots for the riser cards the offer the remaining PCIe slots.
Figure 10. SR950 architecture
The specific connections between system boards, processors and PCIe slots are dependent on the server configuration. This is described in detail in the Server configurations section. Specific processor-slot connections based on each configuration are described in the Slot availability by server configuration section.
The following figure shows System board 1 where processors 1 and 2 are installed. The slots on the I/O board are connected directly to these processor (or indirectly through the Intel C624 Platform Controller Hub, PCH).
Figure 11. System board 1 connections to the I/O board
The processors within the chassis communicate via UltraPath Interconnect (UPI) ports. These ports allow high speed communication between the CPUs. UPI replaces the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI). One UPI link connects the two processors on each system board (UPI 3) and the other two UPI links are used to connect the other processors in adjacent boards to form four-way and larger systems.
In four-processor configurations, the design of the UPI links is either in a mesh or a ring topology. When a processor has 3 UPI ports, it can be used in a 4-socket mesh configuration where all processors are directly connected to every other processor. 5100 Series processors only have 2 UPI ports (ports 1 and 2) and therefore do not support mesh topology. These two UPI configurations are shown in the following figure.
Figure 12. Mesh (left) and Ring (right) topologies for four-socket configurations
Ring topology with 8100 Series processors: As discussed in the Server configurations section, the “Four-Socket Upgradable / Storage Rich” configuration is a four-socket configuration that uses a Ring topology but uses 8100 Series processors.
The server supports an 8-socket configuration (8100 Series processors required). The following figure shows the UPI links used to connect eight processors.
Figure 13. 8-socket topology
Refer to the processor options table for information on the number UPI links each processor option has for the SR950 system.
Server configurations
The SR950 supports five different configurations, depending on the desired number of processors, drive bays, PCIe slots, and upgradability to an 8-socket configuration.
Notes:
- The configurations listed here represent Lenovo's recommendations regarding the selection of compute system boards, I/O riser cards, and NVMe drive bays to maximize the available resources. You can select fewer drives and lower slot counts by using lower-slot-count riser cards to meet application requirements.
- The use of only two, three or six processors in configurations where supported will reduce the available I/O slots and NVMe drive bays. This is described in details in the Internal storage section and the I/O expansion options section.
- Configurations 1 and 2 support either two, three or four processors, however the use 5100 Series processors requires that four processors be selected. Two or three 5100 Series processors are not supported in these configurations due to the way the processors are connected.
- Configurations 3 and 4 are designed to be easily upgradable to 8 processors. As a result, 8100 Series processors are required.
When building a server in the configurator, the feature codes in the following table are key to selecting the right configuration.

Processor options
The SR950 supports the Gold and Platinum level processors in the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family, including the "top bin" highest performing 205 W processors available from Intel.
The server supports up to four or eight processors, depending on the configuration selected, however processors are all installed within the 4U rack enclosure:
- The use of more than 4 processors requires a Platinum-level processor.
- For configurations that support up to eight processors, the server supports 2, 4, 6 or 8 processors.
- For configurations of up to four processors (lower cost configuration, no upgrade path to eight processors), the server supports 2, 3 or 4 processors.
As described in the Components and connectors section, processors and memory are located on compute system boards - one or two processors per board. Two system boards are installed in a compute tray, and there are two compute trays in the server.
For configurations with only one compute tray, you can upgrade to add a second compute tray. You can also add additional system boards as needed. The ordering information for these upgrades is listed in the following table.
Part number | Feature code | Description |
---|---|---|
7XG7A03955 | AUN0 | ThinkSystem SR950 2-CPU, 24 DIMM Compute System Board |
7XG7A03956 | Various | ThinkSystem SR950 Upper Compute Tray Kit |
The Compute System Board option, 7XG7A03955, includes the following components:
- One compute system board, without processors or memory
The Upper Compute Tray Kit, 7XG7A03956, includes the following components:
- 1x compute tray with 12 drive bays and 1 slot for storage adapter
- 1x compute system board
- 3x 4-bay drive bay fillers
Note: The Upper Compute Tray Kit does not include drive backplanes
The table below lists the supported processors. The table indicates which processors support 8-socket configurations and whether the processors support memory capacities greater than 768 GB per processor.
All processors listed support:
- Hyper-Threading Technology
- Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
The table also lists the number of Intel Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) ports each processor has. UPI ports are used to connect processors together for high-speed communications.
- When a processor has 3 UPI ports, it can be used in a 4-socket mesh configuration where all processors are directly connected to every other processor. 5100 Series processors do not support mesh topology, since they only have 2 UPI ports.
- When a processor has only 2 UPI ports, it can only be used in a 4-socket ring configuration where all processors are connected to the 2 adjacent processors and the fourth processor is only connected indirectly via another processor.
The mesh and ring topologies are shown in the following figure.

Memory options
The SR950 uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory operating at up to 2666 MHz. The server supports 12 DIMMs per processor, which corresponds to 48 DIMMs with four processors installed and 96 DIMMs when eight processors are installed. Each processor has six memory channels with two DIMMs per channel. With 128 GB 3DS RDIMMs installed, an 8-socket server supports a total of 12 TB of system memory.
As described in the Components and connectors section, the memory is installed on compute system boards and there are two system boards per compute tray and one or two compute trays per server, depending on the configuration.
All DIMMs operate at a speed of 2666 MHz, both at 1 DIMM per channel and 2 DIMMs per channel. However, if the processor selected has a lower memory bus speed (for example 2400 MHz), then all DIMMs will operate at that lower speed.
The following table lists the memory options that are available for SR950.
Lenovo TruDDR4 memory uses the highest quality components that are sourced from Tier 1 DRAM suppliers and only memory that meets the strict requirements of Lenovo is selected. It is compatibility tested and tuned to maximize performance and reliability. From a service and support standpoint, Lenovo TruDDR4 memory automatically assumes the system warranty, and Lenovo provides service and support worldwide.

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
- The server supports RDIMMs, LRDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs. UDIMMs are not supported.
- Mixing RDIMMs and LRDIMMs is not supported.
- Mixing 3DS RDIMMs with either RDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not supported.
- Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is supported.
For best performance, consider the following:
- Populate memory DIMMs in quantities of 6 or 12 per processor, so that all memory channels are used.
- When mixing 16 GB and 32 GB DIMMs in the same configuration, use 16GB 2Rx8 DIMMs instead of 16 GB 1Rx4 DIMMs for better performance.
- Populate memory channels so they all have the same total memory capacity.
- Ensure all memory controllers on a processor socket have the same DIMM configuration.
- All processor sockets on the same physical server should have the same DIMM configuration.
The following memory protection technologies are supported:
- ECC
- SDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs; look for "x4" in the DIMM description)
- ADDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
- Memory mirroring
- Memory rank sparing
If memory channel mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs or sets of three (minimum of one pair or set of three per processor), and all DIMMs in the pair or set of three must be identical in type and size. 50% of the installed capacity is available to the operating system.
If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of two single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need to be identical). In rank sparing mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The largest rank in the channel will be automatically selected as the spare rank. The amount of memory available to the operating system depends on the number, capacity and rank counts of the DIMMs installed.
Internal storage
The SR950 offers up to 24x 2.5-inch drive bays, depending on the server configuration selected (as described in Server configurations). The server also supports either one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter.
In this section:
Backplanes and drive bays
Drives are all located at the front of the server, 12 drives at the front of the upper tray and 12 at the front of the lower tray. Drives are connected to 4-drive backplanes in a 2-by-2 configuration, as shown in the following figure. All drive bays are 2.5-inch form factor.
Figure 15. Location of backplanes
There are two different backplanes available for the SR950:
- SAS/SATA backplane: Supports 4 SAS or SATA drives
- AnyBay backplane:
- Top two drives support SAS, SATA, or NVMe interface drives (Lenovo AnyBay)
- Bottom two drive bays support SAS or SATA drives only
Regular 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays support only SAS or SATA drives; however, the Lenovo AnyBay drive bay design allows a choice of SATA, SAS, or U.2 (NVMe) PCIe drives. This design enables the flexibility to configure some of the bays with high-performance PCIe SSDs while still using the other bays for high-capacity HDDs, which is an ideal solution for storage-tiering.
The part numbers in the following table include the cables needed for field upgrades. In CTO orders using the feature codes, the necessary cables will be derived.

Backplane connections are as follows:
- The 4-drive SAS/SATA backplane has one SAS/SATA connector and connects to a supported RAID controller or SAS HBA installed in the dedicated storage adapter slot.
- The 4-drive AnyBay backplane has one SAS/SATA connector and connects to a supported RAID controller or SAS HBA plus one NVMe connector to connect to NVMe ports on one of the system boards in a compute tray or directly on the storage tray.
The SAS/SATA backplane is shown in the following figure.
Figure 17. SAS/SATA backplane
Adapters and cabling
Each compute tray or storage tray includes one dedicated PCIe slot for a RAID adapter or SAS HBA.
Tip: The adapters are described in detail in the Controllers for internal storage section.
SAS/SATA backplanes are connected to the RAID adapter or HBA installed in the dedicated slot in that tray. AnyBay backplanes (NVMe support on 2 of the 4 drive bays) are connected to the RAID adapter or HBA or to an NVMe port adjacent to processor on a system board.
The following table lists which processor each SAS/SATA storage adapter and which NVMe port each backplane is connected to. Backplane numbering is shown in Figure 11.

* In 2, 3 and 6 processor configurations, the following backplanes cannot be AnyBay backplanes:
- In 2-processor configurations, processors 3 and 4 are not installed; this means drive backplanes 1 and 2 cannot be AnyBay backplanes.
- In 3-processor configurations, processor 3 is not installed; this means drive backplanes 1 and 4 cannot be AnyBay backplanes
- In 6-processor configurations, processors 6 & 8 are not installed; this means drive backplanes 5 and 6 cannot be AnyBay backplanes
M.2 drives
The server supports one or two M.2 form-factor SATA drives for use as an operating system boot solution. With two M.2 drives configured, the drives are configured by default as a RAID-1 mirrored pair for redundancy.
The M.2 drives install into an M.2 adapter which in turn is installed in a dedicated slot on the system board. See the internal view of the server in the Components and connectors section for the location of the M.2 slot.
There are two M.2 adapters supported, as listed in the following table.

Network adapters
The SR950 has an integrated 10Gb Ethernet controller, based on the Intel Ethernet Connection X722. The X722 has the following features:
- Integrated into the Intel PCH chipset
- Supports 1GbE or 10GbE connections, depending on the selected LOM Phy adapter
- Offers VXLAN/NVGRE hardware offloads
- Supports VMDq and SR-IOV for advanced virtualization
- Supports iWarp RDMA
To provide connectivity to the X722, the SR950 supports six different LOM (LAN on Motherboard) cards which provide the Ethernet PHY function. Only 1 LOM card can be installed. See Figure 3 for the location of the LOM slot.
The LOM card supports NC-SI to allow the network connection to be shared between the operating system and the XClarity Controller (XCC) management module. The LOM also supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL).
For more information about the X722 controller, see the Lenovo Press product guide:
http://lenovopress.com/lp0654-intel-x722-integrated-controller
The following table lists the supported LOM cards.
Note: None of the LOM cards listed in the table support speeds lower than 1 Gbps.

GPU adapters and coprocessors
Full-length adapter cards such as graphics processing units (GPUs) do not physically fit in the server and are not supported.
Cooling
The SR950 uses a set of 60mm hot-swap single-rotor fans for system-wide cooling. Each compute tray or storage tray houses 6 hot-swap fans. The 6 fans in the compute tray are N+1 redundant, meaning that a single fan failure is tolerated in each compute tray.
Fans are located internal to the server immediately in front of the compute system boards, but are accessible from the front of the server by the long handle attached to the fan. As the handle is pulled out, the attached fan rotates from vertical orientation to horizontal orientation, allowing the fan to be removed from the system using the handle, as shown below.
Figure 21. Six fans installed in each compute tray (lower compute tray shown)
Power supplies
The server supports up to four hot-swap power supplies. Power supplies are N+N redundant, which means that if the server has four power supplies installed, then the server can continue operation even with two failed power supplies, or if the utility service that feeds those two power supplies goes offline.
All power supplies installed in a server must have the same capacity (for example all 1600W).
