The SR630 V2 uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory and supports 16 DIMMs per processor or 32 DIMMs with two processors installed. Each processor has eight memory channels with two DIMMs per channel. With 256 GB 3DS RDIMMs installed, the SR630 V2 supports a total of 8 TB of system memory.
The SR630 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 memory DIMMs and processor model selected. If the processor selected has a lower memory bus speed, then all DIMMs will operate at that lower 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.
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
- The following DIMM quantities are supported per processor: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16. Other quantities per processor are not supported.
- The server supports RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs; UDIMMs and LRDIMMs are not supported
- Mixing RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs is not supported
- Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is supported
For best performance, consider the following:
- Populate memory DIMMs in quantities of 8 or 16 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
Note: Memory sparing is not supported
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. Memory rank sparing is not supported.
Persistent memory
The SR630 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 in-memory analytics, databases, content delivery networks, and high performance computing (HPC), as well as deliver consistent service levels at scale with higher virtual machine and container density. 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.
The following are the requirements when installing persistent memory (PMem) modules when installed in a two-socket server with third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors ("Ice Lake" processors):
- App Direct Mode and Memory Mode are supported. Mixed Mode is not supported.
- All PMem modules operate at 3200 MHz when the installed processor runs the memory bus at 3200 MHz.
- All installed PMem modules must be the same size. Mixing PMem modules of different capacities is not supported.
- Maximum 8 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).
- To maximize performance, balance all memory channels
- Both interleaved and non-interleaved modes are supported.
- Memory mirroring is not supported with PMem modules installed
For details, including App Direct Mode and Memory Mode configuration requirements, see the Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series product guide, https://lenovopress.com/LP1380
Internal storage
The SR630 V2 supports 4x 3.5-inch or 12x 2.5-inch or 16x EDSFF drive bays, depending on the selected chassis and backplane configuration. The server also supports configurations without any drive bays if desired.
The two drive bay zones are as follows:
- Front:
- 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- Up to 10x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- 16x EDSFF hot-swap bays
- Rear:
- 2x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
- 2x 7mm hot-swap drives bays
All drives are hot-swap and are accessible from the front or from the rear.
The server also supports one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter internal to the server.
In this section:
NVMe drive support
The SR630 V2 supports NVMe drives to maximize storage performance:
- In 2.5-inch front drive configurations, the server supports up to 12 NVMe drives without oversubscription (that is, each x4 drive has a full x4 connection (4 lanes) to the processor), ten drives at the front and two drives at the rear.
- In 3.5-inch front drive configurations, the servers supports up to 6 NVMe x4 drives without oversubscription, four 3.5-inch drives at the front and two 2.5-inch NVMe drives at the rear of the server.
- In EDSFF front drive configurations, the server supports up to 16x NVMe x4 drives without oversubscription, 12 drives connected to onboard NVMe connections and 4 drives connected to a Retimer adapter.
The specifics of these configurations are covered in the Supported drive bay combinations and Controller selections sections.
In addition, the SR630 V2 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.
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.

Field upgrades
Topics in this section:
- Backplane kits and cable kits
- Upgrades to Internal (CFF) 5350 or 9350 RAID adapter
- Contents of cable kits
- 2.5-inch drive bay fillers
Backplane kits and cable kits
The SR630 V2 is orderable without drive bays, allowing you to add a backplane, cabling and controllers as field upgrades. Rear backplane kits included cables, however for front drive bays, the backplane kits do not include cables and must be ordered separately. The following table summarizes the option part numbers you will need to order for each available drive configuration.
For details about this backplane kits and cable kits, see the following page (search for the kit by name):
https://serveroption.lenovo.com/
Tip: There is no upgrade path to add drive bays if the SR630 V2 already has a backplane, without removing the existing backplane. For example, you cannot upgrade an 8x 2.5-inch drive bay to 10 bays without first removing the existing backplane.
When adding front drive bays, you will also need to add the appropriate storage controller(s). If you are selecting an RAID controller with a flash unit, you will also need to order a supercap holder kit. Consult the tables in the Controller selections section to determine what controller sections are supported and what additional controllers you will need. Controllers are described in the Controllers for internal storage section.
Upgrades to Internal (CFF) 5350 or 9350 RAID adapter
It is also supported to upgrade a server from an onboard SATA controller to an internal (CFF) RAID adapter, without changing any backplanes. For most configurations where a CFF adapter is added in the field, the cable kits listed in the preceding table include all the necessary cables. The only exception to this is when you are installing a 5350 or 9350 CFF adapter and an 8x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane, which requires an extra cable.
When adding a 5350 or 9350 CFF adapter plus an 8x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane, you will also need to order the cable kit listed in the following table in addition to the cable kits listed in the preceding table.
Tip: This cable is not needed when adding a 940 or 440 CFF adapter, and is not needed if you are adding a 5350 or 9350 CFF adapter without also adding the 8x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA backplane.

* Only supported with 2.5-inch front drive bays. Not supported in configurations with 3.5-inch front drive bays.
† Adapter also supported PCIe 4.0 x1 connectivity to NVMe drives with U.3 interface
Configuration notes:
- Supercap support limits the number of RAID adapters installable: The table lists whether the adapter includes a power module (supercap) to power the flash memory. The server supports between 1 and 3 supercaps depending on the server configuration as described in the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section. The number of supercaps supported also determines the maximum number of RAID adapters with flash that can be installed in the server.
- Field upgrades: If you are adding a RAID adapter with supercap to the server as a field upgrade, you may need a supercap holder as described in the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
The onboard SATA controller has the following features:
- Controller integrated into the Intel PCH
- 6 Gbps SATA host interface
- Supports up to 12 SATA drives
- Supports RAID-0, 1, 5, 10 up to 8 drives (Intel VROC SATA RAID, previously known as RSTe)
- Supports JBOD
- Supports HDDs and SSDs; can be mixed
SATA RAID support limited to 8 drives: The SR630 V2 supports 12 SATA drives connected to the onboard SATA controller, however only the first 8 drives can be configured in RAID arrays. The remaining 4 drives can only be configured as JBOD.
The onboard NVMe support has the following features:
- Controller integrated into the Intel processor
- Supports up to 12 NVMe drives direct connected to onboard ports; additional drives through retimer/switch adapters
- Each drive has PCIe 4.0 x4 host interface
- Supports JBOD - Intel and non-Intel NVMe SSDs - no license required
- Supports RAID-0, 1, 5, 10 (Intel VROC NVMe RAID) - Intel NVMe SSDs only unless VROC Premium license is installed
- VROC Premium also extends to any drives connected via an NVMe Adapter (switch or retimer)
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 SR630 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 SR630 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 SR630 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 SR630 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
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. On ESXi, VROC is supported with both boot and data drives.

I/O expansion
The SR630 V2 supports a total of up to 3 PCIe 4.0 slots, all with rear access, plus a dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slot for networking. Slot availability is based on riser selection. The use of slot 3 requires that both processors be installed.
- Slot 1: PCIe 4.0 x16 LP (CPU 1)
- Slot 2: PCIe 4.0 x16 LP or FHHL (CPU 1)
- Slot 3: PCIe 4.0 x16 LP (CPU 2)
Slots 1 and 2 are also available as PCIe 3.0 adapter slots, using a lower-cost PCIe 3.0 riser, if desired.
Tip: For configurations with 2.5-inch front drive bays, an internal RAID adapter or HBA can be installed in a dedicated space and cabled to a PCIe 4.0 x8 connector, thereby freeing up a slot for other purposes.
The following figure shows the locations of the rear-accessible slots for each configuration selection. The OCP slot in located in the lower-left corner.
Figure 15. SR630 V2 slot configurations
The slots and riser cards are as follows:
- Riser 1: Slots 1 & 2

The following table lists the supported OCP adapters. One port can optionally be shared with the XCC management processor for Wake-on-LAN and NC-SI support. Only 1 OCP card can be installed in the server.
* Performance fans required. See the Cooling section
The following table lists additional supported network adapters that can be installed in the regular PCIe slots.
* Performance fans required. See the Cooling section
† In the SR630 V2, this adapter requires a full-height bracket and must be installed in a full-height slot (feature BFR3 or option 4XH7A09867). The use of a low-profile bracket and slot is not supported.
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
Configuration requirements:
- Use of the Mellanox HDR PCIe Aux Kit: The HDR Aux Kit (4C57A14179) enables a Socket Direct connection which allows the HDR adapter (4C57A15326) to have direct access to each of the two processors. Such a configuration ensures extremely low latency and CPU utilization in addition to higher network throughput. Socket Direct also maximizes AI and ML application performance, as it enables native GPU-Direct Technologies.
- 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.
Fibre Channel host bus adapters
The following table lists the Fibre Channel HBAs supported by the SR630 V2.

SAS adapters for external storage
The following table lists SAS HBAs and RAID adapters supported by SR630 V2 server for use with external storage.
* See configuration rules below regarding supercap requirements
For a comparison of the functions of the supported external storage adapters, see the ThinkSystem RAID Adapter and HBA Reference:
https://lenovopress.com/lp1288#sr630-v2-support=SR630%20V2&internal-or-external-ports=External
Configuration rules
The RAID 930-8e and 940-8e use a flash power module (supercap), which can be installed in one of the locations as shown in the following figure.
Figure 17. Potential locations of all supercaps in the SR630 V2 (2.5-inch drive configuration and standard heatsinks)
The number of 930/940-8e RAID adapters supported is based on how many supercaps can be installed in the server. The number and location of the supercaps is determined based on the front drive configuration used and which processor heatsinks are installed, as listed in the following table.
Note: If an internal 930/940/9350 RAID adapter with flash power modules is installed, the maximum number of 930/940-8e adapters supported is reduced by 1.
For more information, see the list of Lenovo Press Product Guides in the Host bus adapters and RAID adapters categories:
https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/hba
https://lenovopress.com/servers/options/raid
Flash storage adapters
The supported flash storage adapters are all withdrawn from marketing.
The SR630 V2 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
- 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. See the Cooling section for ordering information.
GPU adapters
The SR630 V2 supports the following graphics processing units (GPUs).
* See configuration rules below
For information about these GPUs, see the ThinkSystem GPU Summary, available at:
https://lenovopress.com/lp0768-thinksystem-thinkagile-gpu-summary
Configuration rules:
- The table includes a Controlled GPU column. If a GPU is listed as Controlled, that means the GPU is not offered in certain markets, as determined by the US Government. If a GPU is listed as No, that means the GPU is not controlled and is available in all markets.
- GPUs can be configured in CTO orders as follows:
- A Controlled GPU can only be configured using one of the Base CTO models for Controlled GPUs, such as 7Z71CTOAWW, as listed in the Models section.
- A GPU that is not controlled can only be configured using one of the Base CTO models that is not for Controlled GPUs, such as 7Z71CTO1WW, as listed in the Models section.
- All GPUs installed must be identical
- Processors with TDP greater than 220W TDP (see Thermal restrictions by processor section):
- Only 4x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA front drive configuration supported
- For NVIDIA A2, T4 or any other passively cooled GPU (GPU without integrated fan), performance fans are required (see the Cooling 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.
Cooling
The SR630 V2 server has up to eight 40 mm dual-rotor hot-swap variable-speed fans, and the fans are N+1 rotor redundant. 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. Six fans are needed when one processor is installed and eight fans are required when two processors are installed. The server also has one additional fan integrated in each of the two power supplies.
Depending on the configuration, the server will need either all Standard fans (21K RPM) or all Performance fans (28K RPM).
Performance fans are required if the server has any of these components:
- Processors with TDP > 165 W
- Front 10x 2.5-inch AnyBay drive backplane
- Front 16x EDSFF drive backplane
- Rear 2x 2.5-inch backplane
- NVIDIA A2, NVIIDIA T4 or any other passive GPU (GPU without its own internal fan)
- Any of the following OCP adapters installed:
- ThinkSystem Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T 4-port OCP Ethernet Adapter
- Any of the following PCIe adapters installed:
- ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 2-port PCIe 4 Ethernet Adapter
- Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx 100GbE QSFP56 2-port PCIe Ethernet Adapter
- Mellanox ConnectX-6 HDR100 IB/100GbE VPI 1-port x16 PCIe 3.0 HCA
- Mellanox ConnectX-6 HDR100 IB/100GbE VPI 2-port x16 PCIe 3.0 HCA
- Mellanox ConnectX-6 HDR IB/200GbE Single Port x16 PCIe Adapter
Ordering information for the fans is listed in the following table.
Fans spin when server is powered off: If there is an OCP 3.0 Ethernet adapter installed, when the system is powered off but still plugged in to AC power, fans 1 and 2 may continue to spin at a much lower speed. This is the system design to provide proper cooling for the OCP 3.0 Ethernet adapter.
Power supplies
The SR630 V2 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. The only exception to this is the two 500W Platinum power supplies, 4P57A82021 and 4P57A26290, which can be mixed if needed.
Tip: When configuring a server in the DCSC configurator, power consumption is calculated precisely by interfacing with Lenovo Capacity Planner. You can therefore select the appropriate power supply for your configuration. However, do consider future upgrades that may require additional power needs.
* BPK9 is initially only configurable in PRC and certain countries in the EET and WE markets. Worldwide support is planned in 2Q/2023.
Dual-voltage power supplies are auto-sensing and support both 110V AC (100-127V 50/60 Hz) and 220V AC (200-240V 50/60 Hz) power. For China customers, all power supplies support 240V DC.
All supported AC power supplies have a C14 connector. The -48V DC power supply has a Weidmuller TOP 4GS/3 7.6 terminal as shown in the following figure.
Figure 18. ThinkSystem 1100W -48V DC v2 Power Supply
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 power cords if desired.
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.
Systems management
The SR630 V2 contains an integrated service processor, XClarity Controller (XCC), which provides advanced control, monitoring, and alerting functions. The XCC is based on the Pilot4 XE401 baseboard management controller (BMC) using a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 service processor.
Topics in this section:
- Local management
- System status with XClarity Mobile
- Remote management
- Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager

Tip: The Network LED only shows network activity of the installed OCP network adapter.
Figure 19. SR630 V2 Front operator panel
Light path diagnostics
The server offers light path diagnostics. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the XCC lights LEDs inside the server to help you diagnose the problem and find the failing part. The server has fault LEDs next to the following components:
- Each memory DIMM
- Each drive bay
- Each power supply
Integrated Diagnostics Panel for 8x 2.5-inch configurations
For configurations with 8x 2.5-inch drive bays at the front, the server can optionally be configured to have a pull-out Integrated Diagnostics Panel. The following figure shows the 8x 2.5-inch configuration with the standard (fixed) operator panel and the optional Integrated Diagnostics Panel.
Figure 20. Operator panel choices for the 8x 2.5-inch drive bay configuration
The Integrated Diagnostics Panel allows quick access to system status, firmware, network, and health information. The LCD display on the panel and the function buttons give you access to the following information:
- Active alerts
- Status Dashboard
- System VPD: machine type & mode, serial number, UUID string
- System firmware levels: UEFI and XCC firmware
- XCC network information: hostname, MAC address, IP address, DNS addresses
- Environmental data: Ambient temperature, CPU temperature, AC input voltage, estimated power consumption
- Active XCC sessions
- System reset action
The Integrated Diagnostics Panel can be configured as listed in the following table. It is only available configure-to-order (CTO); not available as a field upgrade.
Configuration rules for the Pull-out operator panel:
- Only supported with configurations with 8x 2.5-inch drive bays
- Not available as a field upgrade. The component is CTO or on pre-configured models only
External Diagnostics Handset
The SR630 V2 also has a port to connect an External Diagnostics Handset as shown in the following figure. The External Diagnostics Handset has the same functions as the Integrated Diagnostics Panel but has the advantages of not consuming space on the front of the server plus it can be shared amongst many servers in your data center.

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 SR630 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 SR630 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).
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.
Intel Transparent Supply Chain
Add a layer of protection in your data center and have peace of mind that the server hardware you bring into it is safe authentic and with documented, testable, and provable origin.

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.
