Internal storage
The internal storage of the SE350 server is implemented as M.2 drives. The drives are defined as either boot drives or data drives, based on their intended use in the server.
Internal drives are as follows:
- Data drives are installed in a four-port data drive adapter mounted in the riser card that is installed in a riser slot, as described in the I/O expansion section. One or two four-drive adapters are supported in the SE350 for a total of up to eight data drives.
- Boot drives are installed on an M.2 boot adapter, which in turn is installed in a dedicated slot on the system board (see the figure in the I/O expansion section). Either one or two M.2 drives are supported, depending on the boot adapter selected. SATA drives, either SED or non-SED drives are supported.
Controllers for internal storage
The SE350 has the following storage controllers:
- ThinkSystem M.2 Enablement Kit, 7Y37A01092, for boot drives
- SATA drive: SATA controller of the processor (single drive, no RAID)
- NVMe drives: No support
- ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 Mirroring Enablement Kit, 4M17A60519, for boot drives
- SATA drives: Marvell 88SE9230 6 Gbps SATA controller on the M.2 adapter (RAID-0, 1; Hardware RAID)
- NVMe drives: No support
Note: The M.2 Mirroring Enablement Kit supports UEFI Boot mode only; no Legacy BIOS support
- ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Enablement Kit, 4M17A37281, for data drives
- SATA drives: Intel RSTe SATA controller embedded in the processor (RAID-0, 1, 5, 10; Software RAID)
- NVMe drives: Direct connection to the processor (supports VROC RAID, as described in the Intel VROC onboard SATA and NVMe RAID section)
Note: Mixing SATA drives and NVMe drives in the same adapter is not supported.
- ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA 4-Bay Data RAID Mirroring Enablement Kit, 4M17A37606, for data drives
- SATA drives: two independent Marvell 88SE9230 6 Gbps SATA controllers; each controller connects to two M.2 drives (RAID-0, 1; Hardware RAID); Also supports one M.2 drive in a non-RAID (JBOD) configuration
- NVMe drives: No support
Ordering information for the controllers is listed in the following table.
The data drive adapters support NVMe or SATA drives depending on the capabilities of the adapter plus the capabilities of the riser card slot (the "wing" as explained in the I/O expansion section) that the data adapter is installed in.
Configuration rules:
- Both left and right wings support NVMe drives when using the SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Adapter.
- Mixing SATA drives and NVMe drives in the same SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Adapter is not supported
- The SATA HW RAID Adapter does not support NVMe drives.
- The left wing slot of the riser supports connectivity to the onboard SATA controller via a SATA cable (4Z57A37312), however the right wing slot does not support this cable and therefore does not support SATA drives using the SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive adapter.
- Both left and right wings support SATA drives when using the SATA HW RAID Adapter.
- When one wing uses the M.2 SATA RAID Adapter (4M17A37606) and the other wing uses the non-RAID M.2 SATA/NVMe Adapter (4M17A37281), VROC is not supported to provide RAID for the non-RAID adapter. This applies to config 6 and config 8 in the table below.
- For the data drive adapter and the boot drive adapter, the pairs of drives on opposite sides of the adapter must be the same form factor (that is, same length). See the table in the Internal drive options section for the form factor for each supported drive. The pairs of drives must be the same because they share the same mounting clip, as shown in the following figure:
- Drive positions 1 and 4 must be M.2 drives with identical form factor, as they share the same mounting clip
- Drive positions 2 and 3 must be M.2 drives with identical form factor, as they share the same mounting clip
Figure 12. Drive positions in the 4-bay Data Drive Kits (drives 1 and 4 must be the same form factor; drives 2 and 3 must be the same form factor)
The following table lists the supported combinations of drive adapters.
The ThinkSystem M.2 Enablement Kit (single M.2 boot adapter) is shown in the following figure.
Figure 13. ThinkSystem M.2 Enablement Kit (shown with an 32 GB M.2 drive, not supported in the SE350)
The ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 Mirroring Enablement Kit (dual M.2 boot adapter) is shown in the following figure, with one 128GB M.2 drive partially inserted. The second M.2 drive is installed on the other side of the adapter.
Figure 14. ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 Mirroring Enablement Kit
Note: The ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 Mirroring Enablement Kit is the same hardware as the ThinkSystem M.2 with Mirroring Enablement Kit that is supported in ThinkSystem rack servers (7Y37A01093), however the firmware is different. They are not interchangeable and 7Y37A01093 is not supported on the SE350.
Intel VROC onboard RAID
The ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Enablement Kit (4M17A37281) supports Intel VROC for RAID support. Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) is a feature of the Intel processor that enables Integrated RAID support.
There are two separate functions of VROC in the SE350:
- Intel VROC SATA RAID, formerly known as Intel RSTe
- Intel VROC NVMe RAID
VROC SATA RAID (RSTe) is available and supported with all SATA drives. It offers a 6 Gb/s connection to each drive and on the SE350 implements RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10. RAID 1 is limited to 2 drives per array, and RAID 10 is limited to 4 drives per array. Hot-spare functionality is also supported.
VROC NVMe RAID offers RAID support for any NVMe drives installed in the ThinkSystem SE350 M.2 SATA/NVMe 4-bay Data Drive Enablement Kit. On the SE350, RAID levels implemented are based on the VROC feature selected as indicated in the following table. RAID 1 is limited to 2 drives per array, and RAID 10 is limited to 4 drives per array. Hot-spare functionality is also supported.
The SE350 supports the VROC NVMe RAID offerings listed in the following table. The VROC Intel SSD Only offering only supports RAID on Intel branded NVMe SSDs; non-Intel branded NVMe SSDs cannot be configured in a RAID array.
Tip: These feature codes and part numbers are only for VROC RAID using NVMe drives, not SATA drives
Configuration notes:
- If a feature code is ordered in a CTO build, the VROC functionality is enabled in the factory. For field upgrades, order a part number and it will be fulfilled as a Feature on Demand (FoD) license which can then be activated via the XCC management processor user interface.
Virtualization support: Virtualization support for Intel VROC is as follows:
- VROC SATA RAID (RSTe): VROC SATA RAID is supported with Windows, RHEL and SLES, however it is not supported by virtualization hypervisors such as ESXi, KVM, Xen, and Hyper-V. Virtualization is only supported on the onboard SATA ports in AHCI (non-RAID) mode.

- Direct connections to the XClarity Controller (XCC) management processor
- Based on Realtek RTL8363SC controller
- Two ports, either as a redundant pair of ports or can be used as a daisy chain with multiple nearby SE350 servers
Both Wired Network Modules provide the ability to daisy-chain the XCC management connections thereby reducing the number of ports you need in your management switches and reducing the number of switch ports needed for systems management. With this feature you can connect the first SE350 to your management network and the adjacent SE350 connects to the first SE350. The third SE350 can then connect to the second SE350. Up to 7 servers can be connected in a daisy-chain configuration.
The two management ports of the Wired Network Modules can also be used to form a redundant pair. In such a configuration, they share the same IP address; redundancy is at the Layer 2 level.
The SFP+ ports in the Wireless Network Module and the SFP+ Wired Network Module support the transceivers listed in the following table.
Network cables
The SFP+ ports of the Network Modules support the following fiber optic cables and direct-attach copper (DAC) cables.
The RJ45 ports of the Network Modules support the following Category 6 (CAT 6) cables.
When the SE350 is configured with the security bezel, it is recommended you use the CAT6 Ethernet cables listed in the following table. These cables have connectors that are designed to fit with the SE350 security bezel attached and will ensure that the locking bezel functions correctly.
Network adapters
The following table lists additional supported network adapters that can be installed in the PCIe slot when the PCIe Riser (feature B6FD) is selected.
For more information, including the transceivers and cables that each adapter supports, see the list of Lenovo Press Product Guides in the Networking adapters category:
https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/ethernet
GPU adapters
The following table lists additional supported GPUs that can be installed in the PCIe slot when the PCIe Riser (feature B6FD) is selected.

Special bid: Under special bid conditions, the SE350 with A2 GPU (BQZT) adapter is supported up to 50C ambient temperature. Contact your Lenovo representative for details.
Configuration notes:
- The use of a GPU in high temperature and high shock & vibration conditions is described in the Operating Environment section.
- 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.

- Flexible
Our in-depth knowledge of the products, services and various market segments allows us to offer greater flexibility in structures, documentation and end of lease options.
- 100% Solution Financing
Financing your entire solution including hardware, software, and services, ensures more predictability in your project planning with fixed, manageable payments and low monthly payments.
- Device as a Service (DaaS)
Leverage latest technology to advance your business. Customized solutions aligned to your needs. Flexibility to add equipment to support growth. Protect your technology with Lenovo's Premier Support service.
- 24/7 Asset management
Manage your financed solutions with electronic access to your lease documents, payment histories, invoices and asset information.
- Fair Market Value (FMV) and $1 Purchase Option Leases
Maximize your purchasing power with our lowest cost option. An FMV lease offers lower monthly payments than loans or lease-to-own financing. Think of an FMV lease as a rental. You have the flexibility at the end of the lease term to return the equipment, continue leasing it, or purchase it for the fair market value. In a $1 Out Purchase Option lease, you own the equipment. It is a good option when you are confident you will use the equipment for an extended period beyond the finance term. Both lease types have merits depending on your needs. We can help you determine which option will best meet your technological and budgetary goals.
Ask your Lenovo Financial Services representative about this promotion and how to submit a credit application. For the majority of credit applicants, we have enough information to deliver an instant decision and send a notification within minutes.
