Memory capacity of processors
Third-generation Xeon Scalable processors are limited to the amount of memory they can address, as follows:
- Processors with an L suffix (eg 8360HL): Up to 4.5 TB per processor (4608 GB per processor)
- Processors without an L suffix (eg 8360H): Up to 1.125 TB per processor (1152 GB per processor)
Tip: In memory calculations for servers, 1024 GB = 1 TB.
The calculation of the total memory per processor includes both the system memory DIMMs and the persistent memory modules installed in the server.
For example, these configurations do not require an L processor:
- A configuration using 12x 64GB DIMMs per processor, which is a total of 768GB per processor
- A configuration using 6x 64GB DIMMs + 6x 128GB PMem per processor, which is a total of 1.125TB per processor
For example, these configurations must have an L processor installed:
- A configuration using 12x 128GB DIMMs per processor, which is a total of 1.5TB per processor
- A configuration using 6x 32GB DIMMs + 6x 256GB PMem, which is a total of 1.6875TB per processor

Two-processor configurations
The SR860 V2 can be used with only two processors installed. Most core functions of the server (including the XClarity Controller) are connected to processors 1 and 2 as shown in the System architecture section.
With only two processors, the server has the following capabilities:
- 24 memory DIMMs for a 3TB maximum
- Up to 12 PMem modules
- Slots 1-4 and 9-12 are not available
- GPUs not supported
- NVMe Switch Adapters not supported
- Up to 8x NVMe drives
- If the 3-slot riser is used for slots 5-7 (Riser 1), then NVMe drives are not supported
Some drive bay configurations require 4 processors. See the table in the Supported drive bay combinations section for details.
UEFI operating modes
The SR860 V2 offers preset operating modes that affect energy consumption and performance. These modes are a collection of predefined low-level UEFI settings that simplify the task of tuning the server to suit your business and workload requirements.
The following table lists the feature codes that allow you to specify the mode you wish to preset in the factory for CTO orders.
UK and EU customers: For compliance with the ERP Lot9 regulation, you should select feature BFYE. For some systems, you may not be able to make a selection, in which case, it will be automatically derived by the configurator.
Feature code | Description |
---|---|
BFYB | Operating mode selection for: "Maximum Performance Mode" |
BFYC | Operating mode selection for: "Minimal Power Mode" |
BFYD | Operating mode selection for: "Efficiency Favoring Power Savings Mode" |
BFYE | Operating mode selection for: "Efficiency - Favoring Performance Mode" |
The preset modes for the SR860 V2 are as follows:
- Maximum Performance Mode (feature BFYB): Achieves maximum performance but with higher power consumption and lower energy efficiency.
- Minimal Power Mode (feature BFYC): Minimize the absolute power consumption of the system.
- Efficiency Favoring Power Savings Mode (feature BFYD): Maximize the performance/watt efficiency with a bias towards power savings. This is the favored mode for SPECpower benchmark testing, for example.
- Efficiency Favoring Performance Mode (feature BFYE): Maximize the performance/watt efficiency with a bias towards performance. This is the favored mode for Energy Star certification, for example.
For details about these preset modes, and all other performance and power efficiency UEFI settings offered in the SR860 V2, see the paper "Tuning UEFI Settings for Performance and Energy Efficiency on Intel Xeon Scalable Processor-Based ThinkSystem Servers", available from https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1477.
Memory options
The SR860 V2 uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory and supports 12 DIMMs per processor, which corresponds to 48 DIMMs with four processors installed. Each processor has six memory channels with two DIMMs per channel. With 256 GB 3DS RDIMMs installed, a 4-socket server supports a total of 12 TB of system memory.
The SR860 V2 also supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series, as described in the Persistent Memory section.
Memory operates at up to 3200 MHz at two DIMMs per channel, depending on the processor model selected. If the processor selected has a memory bus speed of 2666 MHz or 2933 MHz, then all DIMMs will operate at that speed.
The following table lists the memory options that are available for the server.
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.

- Additional restrictions may apply when mixing DIMM capacities – use the Memory Wizard to determine if your memory configuration is supported.
- If 128GB or 256GB 3DS DIMMs are selected, at most 24 front drive bays can be configured
- If 256GB 3DS DIMMs are selected, at most 16 front drive bays can be configured
For best performance, consider the following:
- Populate memory DIMMs in quantities of 6 or 12 per processor, so that all memory channels are used.
- 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
See the Lenovo Press article "RAS Features of the Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel Servers" for more information about memory RAS features: https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1711-ras-features-of-the-lenovo-thinksystem-intel-servers
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.
Persistent memory
The SR860 V2 server supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series, a new class of memory and storage technology explicitly architected for data center usage. Persistent memory is an innovative technology that delivers a unique combination of affordable large memory capacity and persistence (non-volatility). It offers significantly lower latency than fetching data from SSDs, even NVMe SSDs, and offers higher capacities than system memory.
Persistent memory technology can help boost the performance of data-intensive applications such as SAP HANA. When data is stored closer to the processor on nonvolatile media, applications can see significant overall improvement in performance.
The following table lists the ordering information for the supported persistent memory modules.

- Only App Direct Mode is supported. Memory Mode and Mixed Mode are not supported.
- All processors that the SR860 V2 supports also support the PMem modules listed in the table below.
- All PMem modules operate at 2666 MHz. Installed memory DIMMs will also operate at 2666 MHz.
- All installed PMem modules must be the same size. Mixing PMem modules of different capacities is not supported.
- Maximum 6 PMem modules per processor (install 1 in each memory channel).
- For each memory channel with both a PMem module and a memory DIMM installed, the PMem module is installed in channel slot 1 (DIMM1, closer to the processor) and the DIMM is installed in channel slot 0 (DIMM0).
- Both interleaved and non-interleaved modes are supported.
- To maximize performance, balance all memory channels
- Memory mirroring is not supported with PMem modules installed
- At most 24x 2.5-inch drives can be installed when any PMem modules are installed. The lower backplanes (BP4, BP5 and BP6) must remain unpopulated.

Internal storage
The SR860 V2 supports up to 48x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays, up to 24 of which can be NVMe or AnyBay drive bays instead. All 48x drive bays are hot-swap and all front-accessible. The server also supports internal M.2 drives (one or two, installed in an adapter), or rear-accessible hot-swap 7mm SSDs.
Note: M.2 and 7mm drive support is mutually exclusive, as they both use the same connectors.
In this section:
NVMe drive support
The SR860 V2 supports up to 24x NVMe drives to maximize storage performance.
- Up to 16 NVMe drives with direct connections to the processors
- No oversubscription (each x4 drive has a full x4 (4 lanes) connection to the processor)
- 4 drives are connected to each processor for balanced performance
- 16 NVMe drives precludes the use of the 3-slot riser (Slots 5-7). See I/O expansion options for details.
- Up to 24 NVMe drives using direct connections plus NVMe switch adapters or retimers
- No oversubscription (each x4 drive has a full x4 (4 lanes) connection to the processor)
- Each NVMe Retimer adapter or 1610-8P switch adapter has 4 drives attached (no oversubscription)
Riser 1 support with NVMe drives: The use of the 3-slot riser for Riser 1 is mutually exclusive with 8 of the onboard NVMe ports as they use the same connectors. See the System architecture and I/O expansion options sections for details.
The specifics of these configurations are covered in the Supported drive bay combinations and Controller selections sections.
The tables in those sections indicate the number of NVMe drives in each configuration plus the subscription ratio. The subscription ratio is the number of PCIe lanes from the processor compared to the number of lanes to the drives. A ratio of 1:1 means all drives get the full number of lanes they need to maximize drive performance (currently 4 lanes per drive). A ratio of 1:2 means each drive only gets the half the bandwidth from the processor.
In addition, the server supports two 7mm NVMe drives for use as boot drives. These two drives are connected via separate RAID controller connected to a single PCIe 3.0 x2 host interface. See the 7mm drives section for details.
Tri-Mode support
The RAID 940-8i and RAID 940-16i adapters also support NVMe through a feature named Tri-Mode support (or Trimode support). This feature enables the use of NVMe U.3 drives at the same time as SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode requires an AnyBay backplane. Cabling of the controller to the backplanes is the same as with SAS/SATA drives, and the NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1 link to the controller.
NVMe drives connected using Tri-Mode support provide better performance than SAS or SATA drives: A SATA SSD has a data rate of 6Gbps, a SAS SSD has a data rate of 12Gbps, whereas an NVMe U.3 Gen 4 SSD with a PCIe x1 link will have a data rate of 16Gbps. NVMe drives typically also have lower latency and higher IOPS compared to SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode is supported with U.3 NVMe drives and requires an AnyBay backplane.
Tri-Mode requires U.3 drives: Only NVMe drives with a U.3 interface are supported. U.2 drives are not supported. See the Internal drive options section for the U.3 drives supported by the server.
Front drive bays
The front drive bay are configured using 8-bay backplanes. The three available backplanes are:
- 8-bay 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane
- 8-bay 2.5-inch AnyBay backplane
- 8-bay 2.5-inch NVMe backplane
Tip: The SR860 V2 does not support 3.5-inch drive bays.
The locations of the backplanes is shown in the following figure.
Figure 10. Backplanes
The server supports combinations of these drive backplanes as listed in the Supported drive bay combinations section.
Ordering information for the backplanes is listed in the following table.
Field upgrades: All front backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades along with require cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
Feature code |
Description | Maximum supported |
---|---|---|
B8LU | ThinkSystem 2U 8x2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane | 6 |
B8LM | ThinkSystem 2U/4U 8x2.5" AnyBay Backplane | 3 |
BCQM | ThinkSystem 2U/4U 8x2.5" NVMe Backplane | 3 |
Common backplanes: The AnyBay and NVMe backplanes listed in the above table use the same physical circuit board. Feature codes B8LM and BCQM use a backplane with eight bays where each bay has both a SAS/SATA connection and an NVMe connection. The difference is which connectors on the backplane are cabled: NVMe and SAS/SATA or just NVMe. Both feature codes use backplane SBB7A06906.
Supported drive bay combinations
The following table shows the supported drive bay combinations - SAS/SATA, AnyBay or NVMe drives. The table lists the backplanes required for each drive bay combination.
Some configurations require 4 processors be installed. This is noted in the table.
The table also indicates whether the combination permits the use of the 3-slot riser in Riser 1 (slots 5-7). Those configurations that don't support the 3-slot riser have 16 or more AnyBay or NVMe drives, or are an upgrade path for 16 drives. Such configurations can use the 2-slot riser (slots 5 & 6) instead.
The choice of storage controller for each configuration is listed in the Controller selections section.

All configurations also support the 7mm rear drive bays (which can can be either SATA or NVMe), or they can support M.2 drives. See the 7mm drives and M.2 drives sections for details. 7mm drive support and M.2 drive support is mutually exclusive.
The following table 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.
Some configurations require 4 processors be installed. This is noted in the table.
The table also indicates whether the combination permits the use of the 3-slot riser (slots 5-7). Those configurations that don't support the 3-slot riser have 16 or more AnyBay or NVMe drives, or are an upgrade path for 16 drives. Such configurations can use the 2-slot riser (slots 5 & 6) instead.
Configuration numbering: The letters A-R in the first column matches the configurations listed in the table in the preceding section.

Field upgrades
The SR860 V2 is orderable without drive bays, allowing you to add a backplane, cabling and controllers as field upgrades. The server also supports upgrading some configurations by adding additional front drive bays, adapters, and cables.
Each row of the following table represents a supported upgrade path. Any other upgrades may not be supported.
Configuration numbering: The letters A-R in the first two columns match the configurations listed in the tables in the preceding sections.
To add drive bays you will need to order both drive backplanes and cable kits. Backplane kits do not include cables.

Configuration notes:
- Supercap support limits the number of RAID adapters installable: As indicated in the table, the RAID 930 and RAID 940 adapters include and require a power module (supercap) to power the flash memory. The server supports up to 4 supercaps, installed in a dedicated holder adjacent to the top riser slots as shown in Figure 6. The number of supercaps supported also determines the maximum number of internal + external RAID 930/940 adapters that can be installed in the server.
- Field upgrades: The RAID 930 and RAID 940 adapter part numbers include both the supercap and the supercap cable.
- 7mm drive support: The storage adapters listed in the table below do not provide connectivity to the 7mm drive bays that are optionally available at the rear of the server. The 7mm drives have their own independent RAID controller. See the 7mm drives section for details.
The RAID 940-8i and RAID 940-16i adapters also support NVMe through a feature named Tri-Mode support (or Trimode support). This feature enables the use of NVMe U.3 drives at the same time as SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode requires an AnyBay backplane. Cabling of the controller to the backplanes is the same as with SAS/SATA drives, and the NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1 link to the controller.
NVMe drives connected using Tri-Mode support provide better performance than SAS or SATA drives: A SATA SSD has a data rate of 6Gbps, a SAS SSD has a data rate of 12Gbps, whereas an NVMe U.3 Gen 4 SSD with a PCIe x1 link will have a data rate of 16Gbps. NVMe drives typically also have lower latency and higher IOPS compared to SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode is supported with U.3 NVMe drives and requires an AnyBay backplane.
Tri-Mode requires U.3 drives: Only NVMe drives with a U.3 interface are supported. U.2 drives are not supported. See the Internal drive options section for the U.3 drives supported by the server.
- E810 Ethernet and X350 RAID/HBAs: The use of both an Intel E810 network adapter and an X350 HBA/RAID adapter (9350, 5350 and 4350) is supported, however E810 firmware CVL4.3 or later is required. For details, see Support Tip HT513226.
Intel VROC onboard RAID
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 SR860 V2:
- 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 SR860 V2 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 directly connected to the ports on the server's system board or via adapters such as NVMe retimers or NVMe switch adapters. On the SR860 V2, 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.
Performance tip: For best performance with VROC NVMe RAID, the drives in an array should all be connected to the same processor. Spanning processors is possible however performance will be unpredictable and should be evaluated based on your workload.
The SR860 V2 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
Part number |

4L47A39164 | B96G | Intel VROC (VMD NVMe RAID) Premium | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
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.
- VROC (VMD) NVMe RAID: VROC (VMD) NVMe RAID is supported by ESXi, KVM, Xen, and Hyper-V. ESXi support is limited to RAID 1 only; other RAID levels are not supported. Windows and Linux OSes support VROC RAID NVMe, both for host boot functions and for guest OS function, and RAID-0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported.

I/O expansion options
The SR860 V2 has up to 14 PCIe 3.0 slots plus an OCP 3.0 slot reserved for an Ethernet adapter.
The following figure shows the locations of the PCIe slots.
Figure 12. SR860 V2 slot numbering
Physically x16 slots: Many of the x8 slots in the server have a physical x16 connector. This means that the slot mechanically accepts an adapter that has the longer x16 edge connector. However since the slot is electrically x8, it only has eight PCIe lanes for data transfer and only has the performance of a x8 slot. If a x8 slot is physically x8, that means a x16 cannot physically be installed in the slot.
The slots are grouped on risers or directly on the system planar, as shown in the figure:
- Riser 2 (x32 riser connection to Expansion Tray):
- Slot 1: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) (not present if slot 2 is PCIe x16) (connects to CPU 4)
- Slot 2: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) or PCIe x16 FHFL double-wide (CPU 4)
- Slot 3: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) (not present if slot 4 is PCIe x16) (CPU 4)
- Slot 4: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) or PCIe x16 FHFL double-wide (CPU 4)
- Riser 1 (x16 riser slot on system planar with two additional x16 cabled connections):
- Slot 5: PCIe x16 FHHL (CPU 2) or PCIe x8 FHHL with 2-slot riser (CPU 2)
- Slot 6: PCIe x16 FHHL (CPU 1) or PCIe x8 FHHL with 2-slot riser (CPU 1)
- Slot 7: PCIe x16 FHHL (not present if 2-slot riser is selected) (CPU 2)*
- Slot 8: OCP 3.0 slot with PCIe x16 connection (CPU 2)
- Riser 3 (x32 riser connection to Expansion Tray):
- Slot 9: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) (not present if slot 10 is PCIe x16) (CPU 3)
- Slot 10: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) or PCIe x16 FHFL double-wide (CPU 3)
- Slot 11: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) (not present if slot 12 is PCIe x16) (CPU 3)
- Slot 12: PCIe x8 FHFL (physically x16) or PCIe x16 FHFL double-wide (CPU 3)
- System planar slots:
- Slot 13: PCIe x16 LP (CPU 1)
- Slot 14: PCIe x8 LP (physically x8) (CPU 1)
- Slot 15: PCIe x8 LP (physically x8) (CPU 1)
Riser 2 and Riser 3 support two different riser card selections:
- 4x PCIe 3.0 x8 slots (physically x16) supporting single-wide GPUs and other FHFL adapters - Feature code BAW9
- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots supporting double-wide GPUs and other FHFL adapters - Feature code BAW8
Riser 1 supports two different riser card selections:
- 3x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, slots 5, 6, & 7, supporting FHHL adapters - Feature code BAW7. The connections of these slots is shown in the System architecture section:
- Slot 5 connects to CPU 2 via the riser slot
- Slot 6 connects to CPU 1 via a cable to a connector on the system board
- Slot 7 connects to CPU 2 via a cable to a connector on the system board
Note: The use of this riser precludes the use of 8 onboard NVMe drive connections, since they use the same connectors.
- 2x PCIe 3.0 x8 slots (physically x16), slots 5 & 6, supporting FHHL adapters - Feature code BAW6.
- Slot 5 connects to CPU 2 via the riser slot
- Slot 6 connects to CPU 2 via the riser slot
Note: This riser still permits the use of the 8 onboard NVMe drive connections that the 3-slot riser consumes.
The riser cards supported are listed in the following table.

Mixing storage adapter families: The following HBA/RAID adapter combinations are supported:
- X30 external adapters with other X30 adapters (internal or external)
- X40 external adapters with other X40 adapters (internal or external)
- X40 external adapters with X350 internal adapters
The following HBA/RAID adapter combinations are not supported:
- X30 adapters (internal or external) with X40 adapters (internal or external)
- X30 adapters (internal or external) with X350 internal adapters
The RAID 930-8e, like other RAID 930 and RAID 940 adapters, uses a flash power module (supercap) and the server supports up to four supercaps. The number of 930-8e RAID adapters supported is based on how many supercaps can be installed in the server. For example, if your configuration uses two RAID 930/940 adapters for internal storage, then you can only install two RAID 930-8e adapters, since there is only space for four supercaps total.

For details about these GPUs, see the ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile GPU Summary:
https://lenovopress.com/lp0768-thinksystem-thinkagile-gpu-summary
The following rules apply when using GPUs:
- Select the correct riser, as listed in the table below.
- Installed GPUs must be identical
- 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.

GPUs other than the NVIDIA T4 require an auxiliary power cable. For all other GPUs, the necessary auxiliary power cables are automatically selected as part of any factor (CTO) order. However when ordering these GPUs as field upgrades, you will need to also order the power cable separately. One part number is needed per GPU.
Note: The auxiliary power cable is not required for the NVIDIA T4 GPU

Cooling
The server has eight 60 mm hot-swap variable-speed fans at the front of the server and all eight fans are standard in all models. The server offers N+1 redundancy, meaning that one fan can fail and the server still operates normally.
In addition, each of the two upper riser cages has two integrated dual-rotor fans. The pair of fans offer rotor redundancy - a riser cage can tolerate a single rotor failure and continue to operate.
Each power supply also includes an integrated fan.
The eight front fans are installed in a 4U-high unit as shown in the following figure. The eight fans are installed in six modules in vertical bays which comprise of either 1 fan or 2 fans, depending on the location of the bay:
- Fan modules 1, 3, 4 and 6: Contain 1 fan (bottom only; top bay remains open)
- Fan modules 2 and 5: Contain 2 fans
Figure 13. SR860 V2 front system fans
When servicing the fan modules, you remove the modules from the top of the unit (hot-swap). In the case of fan modules 2 and 5, two fans are removed at the same time. Although the server supports N+1 redundancy (that is, supporting the failure of 1 fan while maintaining server operation), the server supports the removal of two fans for the time it takes to undertake a fan replacement: remove the module, replace the fan, reinsert the module.
The server supports two types of fan modules:
- Standard fan modules: Bottom fan is a single-rotor fan, top fan is a dual-rotor fan
- Performance fan modules: Both bottom and top fans are dual-rotor fans
Fan module types cannot be mixed. All six modules must be either all standard fan modules, or all performance fan modules.
Performance fan modules are required for certain configurations:
- CPU > 165W TDP
- CPU suffix is HL (large memory support)
- 128GB or 256GB 3DS RDIMMs installed
- Persistent Memory installed
The following table lists the CTO ordering information for the fan modules.

* BPK9 is initially only configurable in PRC and certain countries in the EET and WE markets. Worldwide support is planned in 2Q/2023.
The 750W Platinum and 1100W power supplies are auto-sensing and support both 110V AC (100-127V 50/60 Hz) and 220V AC (200-240V 50/60 Hz) power. The 750 W Titanium and 1800 W power supplies only supports 220V AC power. For China customers, all power supplies support 240V DC.
Power supply options do not include a line cord. For server configurations, the inclusion of a power cord is model dependent. Configure-to-order models can be configured without a power cord if desired.
Power supply LEDs
The supported hot-swap power supplies have the following LEDs:
- Power input LED:
- Green: The power supply is connected to the AC power source
- Off: The power supply is disconnected from the AC power source or a power problem has occurred
- Power output LED:
- Green: The server is on and the power supply is working normally
- Blinking green: The power supply is in Zero-output/Standby mode (see below)
- Off: The server is powered off, or the power supply is not working properly
- Power supply error LED:
- Off: The power supply is working normally
- Yellow: The power supply has failed
Zero-output mode: When Zero-output mode (also known as Standby mode or Cold Redundancy mode) is configured in XCC and the server power load is sufficiently low, one of the installed power supplies enters into the Standby state while the other one delivers entire load. When the power load increases, the standby power supply will switch to Active state to provide sufficient power to the server. Zero-output mode can be enabled or disabled in the XClarity Controller web interface, Server Configuration > Power Policy. If you select Disable, then both power supplies will be in the Active state.
Power cords
Line cords and rack power cables with C13 connectors can be ordered as listed in the following table.
110V customers: If you plan to use the 1100W power supply with a 110V power source, select a power cable that is rated above 10A. Power cables that are rated at 10A or below are not supported with 110V power.

Platform Firmware Resiliency - Lenovo ThinkShield
Lenovo's ThinkShield Security is a transparent and comprehensive approach to security that extends to all dimensions of our data center products: from development, to supply chain, and through the entire product lifecycle.
The ThinkSystem SR860 V2 includes Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) hardware Root of Trust (RoT) which enables the system to be NIST SP800-193 compliant. This offering further enhances key platform subsystem protections against unauthorized firmware updates and corruption, to restore firmware to an integral state, and to closely monitor firmware for possible compromise from cyber-attacks.
PFR operates upon the following server components:
- UEFI image – the low-level server firmware that connects the operating system to the server hardware
- XCC image – the management “engine” software that controls and reports on the server status separate from the server operating system
- FPGA image – the code that runs the server’s lowest level hardware controller on the motherboard
The Lenovo Platform Root of Trust Hardware performs the following three main functions:
- Detection – Measures the firmware and updates for authenticity
- Recovery – Recovers a corrupted image to a known-safe image
- Protection – Monitors the system to ensure the known-good firmware is not maliciously written
These enhanced protection capabilities are implemented using a dedicated, discrete security processor whose implementation has been rigorously validated by leading third-party security firms. Security evaluation results and design details are available for customer review – providing unprecedented transparency and assurance.
The SR860 V2 includes support for Secure Boot, a UEFI firmware security feature developed by the UEFI Consortium that ensures only immutable and signed software are loaded during the boot time. The use of Secure Boot helps prevent malicious code from being loaded and helps prevent attacks, such as the installation of rootkits. Lenovo offers the capability to enable secure boot in the factory, to ensure end-to-end protection. Alternatively, Secure Boot can be left disabled in the factory, allowing the customer to enable it themselves at a later point, if desired.
The following table lists the relevant feature code(s).
Part number | Feature code | Description | Purpose |
---|---|---|---|
CTO only | AUK7 | TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot | Configure the system in the factory with Secure Boot enabled. |
CTO only | B0MK | Enable TPM 2.0 | Configure the system without Secure Boot enabled. Customers can enable Secure Boot later if desired. |
CTO only | C1GD | ST45 V3 TPM 2.0 for WW |
Tip: If Secure Boot is not enabled in the factory, it can be enabled later by the customer. However once Secure Boot is enabled, it cannot be disabled.

Installation restriction - 1100mm racks and the use of the CMA: The SR860 V2 with the cable management arm (CMA) attached is supported in 1100mm rack cabinets, however there is insufficient clearance to route any cables between the CMA and the rear door. As a result, if you require cable access through the lower cable access panel of the rack and you have an SR860 V2 installed at the bottom position of the rack, then it is not supported to use a CMA with that server. Similarly, if you require cable access through the upper cable access panel of the rack and you have an SR860 V2 installed at the top position of the rack, then it is not supported to use a CMA with that server. This limitation does not exist with rack cabinets with 1200mm depth.

- 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.
