- Mid (internal): 4x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
- Rear: up to 2x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
The server also supports one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter.
In this section:
NVMe drive support
PM983 hot-swap support: To support hot-swap of PM983 NVMe drives, the server needs to have UEFI v2.0 (Build ID CFE108O) or later installed.
The SR635 supports NVMe drives to maximize storage performance. The server supports up to 16 NVMe drives without oversubscription (that is, each x4 drive has a full x4 connection (4 lanes) to the processor):
- 10x NVMe drives in the front bays
- 4x NVMe drives in the mid bays
- 2x NVMe drives in the rear bays
The specifics of these configurations plus other NVMe-rich configurations are covered in the Supported drive bay combinations and Adapters selections sections.
The 10x NVMe drives at the front makes use of the 10-bay AnyBay backplane (feature B5VS) which requires SAS/SATA cabling and controllers as well as the NVMe cabling. However, if 16x NVMe drive bays are configured (ie all drive bays in the server populated with NVMe drives), then the server can be configured in the DCSC configurator without SAS/SATA cabling and controllers. Note that all 16x NVMe drive bays must be configured (using backplanes B5VS, B5VN and B5VQ); configurations of 10 or 12 or 14x NVMe drive bays will require SAS/SATA cabling and controllers.
15mm NVMe drives: 15mm NVMe SSDs are not supported in the mid or rear drive bays due to thermal requirements. Only 7mm NVMe drives are supported in those zones.
Front drive bays
The front drive bay zone supports the following configurations:
- 3.5-inch drive bays
- No backplane and no drives (supports field upgrades)
- 4x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA

The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
* Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades using upgrade kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
The use of drive bays in the mid-chassis area has the following configuration rules:
- Only NVMe drives are supported in the mid chassis area. SAS and SATA drives are not supported.
- The mid drive cage is only supported in conjunction with the 10x 2.5-inch AnyBay backplane (feature AUW9) or the 4x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane (feature AUW8) for the front drives. The use of other front-drive backplanes with the mid cage is not supported.
- The mid drive cage occupies the same physical space as the M.2 module, internal PCIe slot (slot 4) and two of the three holders for RAID power module (supercaps). As a result, the M.2 module, slot 4 and two supercaps cannot be installed.
Rear drive bays
The SR635 supports hot-swap drives installed at the rear of the server chassis. Supported configurations are as follows:
- 2x 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays
- 2x 2.5-inch hot-swap NVMe drive bays
The configurations are shown in the following figure.
The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
* Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades using upgrade kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
The use of rear drive bays has the following configuration rules:
- Slots 2 and 3 are not available
- Slot 1 is a low-profile slot
- GPUs are not supported
Supported drive bay combinations
This section describes the various combinations of 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives that the server supports. The drive bay combinations are grouped based on the drive type at the front of the server, 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch.
3.5-inch drive bay chassis
The following table shows the supported combinations when the server is configured with a 3.5-inch chassis (where the front drive bays are 3.5-inch). The choice of storage controller for each configuration is listed in the Adapter selections section.
2.5-inch drive bay chassis
The following table shows the supported combinations when the server is configured with a 2.5-inch chassis (where the front drive bays are 2.5-inch). The choice of storage controller for each configuration is listed in the Adapter selections section.
Adapter selections
The following tables lists the supported drive bay combinations plus the list of supported controller combinations supported by each of those drive bay combinations. Information about the controllers can be found in the Controllers for internal storage section.
* The configurations with 4 mid drives do not support the M.2 Module because the mid drive bays and the M.2 Module occupy the same physical space.
* These configurations, with 12 total SATA drives connected to the onboard SATA controller, or 4 mid drive bays, do not support the use of the M.2 Module. The M.2 Module and the onboard SATA bays use the same ports on the system board and the mid drive bays occupy the same space as the M.2 Module.
Field upgrades
This section describes the available upgrades to the storage subsystem.
- Backplane upgrades
- Cable kits for 440 HBAs and RAID 940 adapters
- Cable kit for Onboard SATA controller upgrades (X30 adapters only)
- RAID flash power module (supercap)

Cable kits for 440 HBAs and RAID 940 adapters
The backplane kits listed in the preceding table include cables for use with the onboard SATA controller or with RAID 930, 730, 530 adapters and 430 HBAs (collectively called X30 adapters). If you wish to use the backplane kits with RAID 940 adapters or 440 HBAs (collectively called X40 adapters), then you will also need to order an additional X40 cable kit to use instead of the cables in the backplane kit.
Unused cables: When adding an X40 adapter, you will order both the backplane kit and the relevant X40 cable kit, however the SAS/SATA data cable(s) in the backplane kit will not be used.
Upgrades from onboard SATA: If you are upgrading a system that currently uses the onboard SATA controller and has all necessary backplanes, simply order the relevant X40 cable kit as listed in the table.
Cable kit for Onboard SATA controller upgrades (X30 adapters only)
If your existing server is configured with drive backplanes that are connected to onboard SATA ports and you wish to upgrade to an X30 RAID adapter or SAS HBA (RAID 930, 730, 530 adapters and 430 HBAs), you will need to order the cable kit listed in the following table along with the adapter(s). The cable kit includes the additional cables you will need to connect the existing backplane to the new X30 adapter. Note that the kit includes the cables needed for all supported combinations of backplanes; this means that some of the cables in the kit will not be used.
For X40 RAID adapters and HBAs, instead order one of the X40 cable kits listed in the Cable kits for 440 HBAs and RAID 940 adapters section.
The cables in the kit are used with existing backplanes as listed in the following table.
RAID flash power module (supercap)
If you plan to add one of the RAID adapters that includes a RAID flash power module (supercap) as a field upgrade, then you will also need to order a Supercap installation kit for the power module. For CTO orders, the components in the installation kit are automatically derived when you select the RAID adapter. The adapters that this applies to are as follows:
- ThinkSystem RAID 730-8i 2GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter
- ThinkSystem RAID 930-8i 2GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter
- ThinkSystem RAID 930-16i 4GB Flash PCIe 12Gb Adapter
- ThinkSystem RAID 940-8i 4GB Flash PCIe Gen4 12Gb Adapter
- ThinkSystem RAID 940-16i 4GB Flash PCIe Gen4 12Gb Adapter
There are three possible locations for supercaps, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 9. Location of all three supercaps in the SR635
The following configuration rules apply to the use of supercaps:
- Locations 1 and 2 are not available if the mid-chassis drive cage is installed
- Location 3 is only available with 2.5-inch front drive bays. It is not available if 3.5-inch front drives are used
When adding a RAID adapter and supercap as a field upgrade, order the supercap installation kit list listed in the following table.
The following figure shows the use of the components of the option kit to install 1 or 2 supercaps. The third supercap is installed in location 3 in front of the cooling fans and behind the front operator panel as shown in the preceding figure (2.5-inch chassis only; not available with 3.5-inch front drives).

Flash storage adapters
The SR635 supports the PCIe Flash Storage adapters listed in the following table.
For details about these adapters, see the Lenovo Press product guides in the Flash Adapters category:
https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/ssdadapter
Configuration rules
The following configuration requirements must be met when installing flash storage adapters:
- GPU adapters are not supported
- Maximum processor TDP is 155W
- Performance fans are required and will be derived by the configurator for configure-to-order builds.
- When adding Flash adapters as field upgrades, you will be required to replace all standard fans with performance fan modules. The ordering part number is listed in the following table - you will be required to order 7 fans.
GPU adapters
The SR635 supports the following graphics processing units (GPUs).
For information about these GPUs, see the ThinkSystem GPU Summary, available at:
https://lenovopress.com/lp0768-thinksystem-thinkagile-gpu-summary
Configuration rules
The following configuration requirements must be met when installing GPUs:
- Some NVIDIA A Series GPUs are available as two feature codes, one with a CEC chip and one without a CEC chip (ones without the CEC chip have "w/o CEC" in the name). The CEC is a secondary Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) module that provides an additional layer of security, which can be used by customers who have high regulatory requirements or high security standards. NVIDIA uses a multi-layered security model and hence the protection offered by the primary Root of Trust embedded in the GPU is expected to be sufficient for most customers. The CEC defeatured products still offer Secure Boot, Secure Firmware Update, Firmware Rollback Protection, and In-Band Firmware Update Disable. Specifically, without the CEC chip, the GPU does not support Key Revocation or Firmware Attestation. CEC and non-CEC GPUs of the same type of GPU can be mixed in field upgrades.
- All GPUs installed must be identical
- Rear drive bays and mid-chassis drive bays are not supported.
- Flash storage adapters are not supported.
- 1100W power supplies (or in some configurations, 750W power supplies) are required.
- If the intrusion switch is installed, then only two GPUs can be installed, in slots 2 and 3. The intrusion switch and a GPU in slot 1 are mutually exclusive.
Additional rules when installing T4 GPUs:
- With two GPUs installed, processor TDP greater than 200W not supported
- If ambient temperature is 35°C, then processor TDP greater than 120W not supported
- If ambient temperature is 30°C, then processor TDP greater than 200W not supported
- With three GPUs installed, processor TDP greater than 120W not supported
- The following additional drive backplane rules apply if 3 GPUs are installed (rules do not apply if only 2 GPUs installed):
- 3.5-inch drive bay backplane (AUW8) is fully supported
- 8x 2.5-inch drive backplane (B7K3) supported, however 2 drive bays (6, 7) must be empty
- 6x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA + 4x AnyBay backplane (AUW9) supported, however all AnyBay bays (6, 7, 8, 9) must be empty
- 10x 2.5-inch AnyBay backplane (B5VS), however 4 bays (6, 7, 8, 9) must be empty
- Ambient temperature great than 30°C is not supported
- Processor TDP greater than 120W is not supported
Additional rules when installing any quantity of P620 GPUs:
- All front drive bay configurations are supported
- Ambient temperature great than 35°C is not supported
- Processor TDP greater than 240W is not supported
GPU field upgrades
When ordering GPUs as part of a CTO configuration, the necessary cooling features are automatically selected as part of the order. However when ordering the GPUs as field upgrades, you will need to also order 7 performance fans which will replace the standard fans already installed. 7 part numbers will need to be ordered per server.
Part number | Description | Quantity required |
---|---|---|
4F17A14483 | ThinkSystem SR635 Performance Fan Module | 7 |
When a GPU is added as a field upgrade, all empty DIMM slots must have a dummy DIMM blank installed in each DIMM slot, to ensure the optimal air flow. Ordering information is in the following table.
Cooling
The SR635 server has seven 40 mm dual-rotor hot-swap variable-speed fans and either 6 or 7 fans are standard depending on the configuration. The fans are dual-rotor counter-rotating units, which means that the fans have two separate propellors, one in front of the other, and that the propellors rotate in opposite directions. The server offers N+1 redundancy. The server also has one additional fan integrated in each of the two power supplies.
Under all of the following conditions, only 6 fans are required:
- No M.2 Module
- No internal riser slot
- No mid drive bays
- No rear drives
- No GPUs
For all other configurations, all 7 fans are required.
Part number | Feature code | Description | Maximum supported |
---|---|---|---|
4F17A12358 | B5X1 | ThinkSystem SR635 1U Fan Module | 7 |
4F17A14483 | B5X0 | ThinkSystem SR635 Performance Fan Module | 7 |
Some configurations, such as the use of high-TDP processors, GPUs, flash storage adapters, mid drive or rear drives, or Ethernet/InfiniBand adapters of 100Gb or higher, will require the use of high performance fans which have higher RPMs. For configure-to-order builds, the DCSC configurator will automatically select the required fans. For field upgrades, the option part numbers may include the upgraded components when they are needed, or you may need to order the performance fans separately.
See these sections for details:
Power supplies
The server supports up to two redundant hot-swap power supplies.
The power supply choices are listed in the following table. Both power supplies used in server must be identical.
Tip: Use Lenovo Capacity Planner to determine exactly what power your server needs:

We can help you determine which option will best meet your technological and budgetary goals.
