Figure 14. Ports of the available Network Modules

The block diagrams of the Network Modules are shown in the System architecture section.

The specifications of the connections in the Wireless Network Module are as follows:

• 10 GbE connections:
  • Routed from the networking functions integrated in the Xeon-D processor
  • Based on the Intel X722 controller
  • Supports iWARP (Internet Wide Area RDMA protocol)
  • Port 1 of the 10GbE ports can be shared with the XCC management processor for Wake-on-LAN and NC-SI support
• Integrated NXP LS1046A network switch chip, provides all network connections other than the 10GbE ports
• Wi-Fi connection can be used as a Wi-Fi client or as a Wi-Fi access point
• Reset pinhole on the front panel to reboot the NXP chip, if needed

The specifications of the connections in the two Wired Network Modules are as follows:

• 10 GbE connections:
  • RJ45 ports or SFP+ cages, depending on the Network Module
  • Routed from the networking functions integrated in the Xeon-D processor
  • Based on the Intel X722 controller
  • Supports iWARP
  • Port 1 of the 10GbE ports can be shared with the XCC management processor for Wake-on-LAN and NC-SI support
• 1GbE RJ45 ports
  • Based on Intel I350 controller
• 1GbE XCC management ports:
  • 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.

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.

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

The following table lists additional supported GPUs that can be installed in the PCIe slot when the PCIe Riser (feature B6FD) is selected.

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, and Firmware Attestation. CEC and non-CEC GPUs of the same type of GPU can be mixed in field upgrades.

For information about the GPU, see the ThinkSystem GPU Summary, available at:
https://lenovopress.com/lp0768-thinksystem-thinkagile-gpu-summary

LXEM is a licensed product. A single-node LXEM license is included with the XClarity Controller Enterprise upgrade as described in the Remote Management section. If your server does not have the XCC Enterprise upgrade, Energy Manager licenses can be ordered as shown in the following table.

The SE350 offers a number of security features, both electronic and physical.

Figure 16. Security features of the SE350

Physical security features:

• Intrusion detection

  The server has an intrusion switch that rests against the server cover. In the event that the cover is removed, the event is recorded and actions can be taken to secure the server. The intrusion switch is standard.

• Motion detection

  The server has an onboard G-sensor accelerometer (disabled by default) that will generate an event if the server is moved. As part of the setup process in XCC, you specify the orientation of the server - desktop, ceiling, wall mount, angled in the bookshelf mount. You can also specify the sensitivity of the motion detection. The motion detection feature is standard.

• Support for a Kensington lock and cable

  The server has a slot on the side of the server which a customer-supplied Kensington lock and cable can be attached to, to help prevent theft of the server.

• Intrusion arm/disarm feature

  The Kensington cable slot can also double as an electronic switch to disarm the intrusion switch detection, so that authorized servicing of the hardware can be performed without triggering the security actions. Available as the Tamper Detection Kit, CTO only. The kit includes a Kensington lock (without cable) that is attached to the outside of the server.

  Note: This intrusion arm/disarm feature is not supported with the 1U or 2U rack enclosure mounting options, due to physical restrictions with the Kensington lock.

• Front bezel with key lock

  Optional component that mounts on the front of the server that restricts access to networking connectors on the front of the server. See Mounting components for more information.

Electronic security features include:

• Automatic actions on tamper detection

  In the event of an intrusion or movement, the server can be configured in XCC to perform actions, including server shutdown and disabling remote access to the XCC from the network ports (referred to as the BMC network bridge).

• Self-encrypting (SED) M.2 drives that ensure data is secured when the drives are powered off
• Administrator password and a power-on password in UEFI
• Onboard Trusted Platform Module (TPM) supporting TPM 2.0 enables advanced cryptographic functionality in the operating system and applications.
• For China users, the server has an internal TCM port that supports a Nationz TPM 2.0 module. Available CTO only.

The server is NIST SP 800-147B compliant.

Ordering information for the security components is listed in the following table.

The Security Pack is the collection of security and activation features of the SE350:

• Unique tamper detection (such as G-sensor) and Automatic actions on tamper detection
• Enablement of local Self-encrypting (SED) authentication key (AK) management
• Mandatory claiming and activation process to identify the owner of SE350 when the server is first delivered/powered on

For new configurations created in DCSC, these features will be enabled by default. To disable them, you will need to select the feature code in the Security tab in DCSC as listed in the following table. All SE350 preconfigured models, as listed in the Models section, have the SE350 Security Pack enabled.

Notes:

• The Security Pack features setting cannot be changed after the system leaves the factory. For example, if you select feature BLZ2 to enable the Security Pack features, then the system will require activation before it can be first used. Similarly, if your system was configured in the factory with Security Pack disabled, you cannot enable it at a later time.
• Customers can use the ThinkShield Portal to determine which of their systems have Security Pack enabled or disabled (you will see "Standard" if the system has Security Pack disabled).

The SE350 is designed to be used in a variety of locations -- wall, ceiling, bookshelf, table top -- as well as in a rack.

Mounting components

Many of the mounting options share the same components.

Node sleeve

The node sleeve, shown below, holds the SE350 server when mounted on the wall or connected to other SE350 servers. Multiple SE350 servers can be connected together -- the node sleeves are clipped together and then secured using thumbscrews. The servers are then slid into the node sleeves and secured with additional thumbscrews.

Figure 17. Attaching two node sleeves together

The node sleeve has the following dimensions:

• Length: 423 mm
• Width: 223 mm
• Depth: 52 mm

Locking bezel

The locking bezel (4M17A37599) is an optional component that mounts on the front of the node sleeve to help prevent physical access to the front components of the server. The bezel includes a lock-and-key mechanism for security. The bezel also includes two brackets that are used to hold the optional dust filters (4M17A37602). The brackets and filters cover the PCIe slot area and the network area to reduce the dust that can enter the server through the front air holes.

Figure 18. Locking Bezel and Filter Holders (4M17A37599)

Desktop mount

Desktop mounting has the server oriented horizontally with self-adhesive rubber pads mounted to its underside.

Figure 19. SE350 with Rubber Feet option

The rubber feet are included with the Node Sleeve, 4M17A37607, but are also orderable separately as listed in the following table.

Stacked mount

Multiple SE350 servers can be each installed into a node sleeve and then stacked horizontally up to 3 high. The node sleeves are secured together using thumbscrews. The bottom node sleeve has rubber feet mounted to its underside.

The components needed for the stacked mount are shown in the following table. See the Mounting components section for details about the node sleeve and locking bezel.

Bookshelf mount

The bookshelf mount allows up to 3 servers to be mounted vertically and placed like books on a shelf, desk or other flat surface. The servers are angled up at the front for easy access. Three nodes, with optional locking bezels, as shown in the bookshelf mount in the following figure.
