UEFI operating modes
The SE450 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.
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 SE450 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 SE450, 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 SE450 has 10 DIMM slots, supporting the following memory and persistent memory combinations:
- 1, 2, 4, 6 or 8x RDIMMs (no persistent memory modules)
- 6x RDIMMs and 1x persistent memory module
- 8x RDIMMs and 1x persistent memory module
- 4x RDIMMs and 4x persistent memory modules
The processor has 4 memory controllers and 8 memory channels; with all-memory configurations (that is, without persistent memory), the DIMMs are installed 1 RDIMM per channel. This corresponds to all the white DIMM slots on the system board. See the internal view of the server for the location of the DIMM slots.
Lenovo TruDDR4 RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs are supported. With 8x 128 GB 3DS RDIMMs installed, the SE450 supports a total of 1 TB of system memory.
The use of persistent memory is described in the Persistent Memory section.
Memory operates at up to 3200 MHz, depending on the processor selected. If the processor selected has a lower memory bus speed, then all DIMMs will operate at that lower speed. See the Processor features section for details.
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 table lists the memory options that are available for the server.

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
- In the SE450, the following DIMM quantities are supported: 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8. Other quantities 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:
- Install 8 memory DIMMs 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.
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), 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 SE450 server supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series, a new class of memory and storage technology explicitly architected for server 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.

- Up to 2x M.2 drives for boot functions, supporting SATA or NVMe drives
In this section:
Internal drive cage
The SE450 offers an internal drive cage which supports either of the following:
- Up to 4x 7mm trayless drives, either SATA or NVMe (zero drives also supported)
- Up to 2x 15mm trayless drives, either SATA or NVMe (zero drives also supported)
The internal drive cage is mounted at the front of the processor and DIMMs as shown in the following figure.
Figure 7. Location of the internal drive cage
The internal drive cage, feature BMGT, is a standard feature in all configurations, however the bays are only usable provided the cables are also installed, either CTO (NVMe or SATA cabling) or as a field upgrade (SATA cabling only).
Tip: 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4x internal trayless drives are supported.
Feature code | Description |
---|---|
BMGT | ThinkEdge SE450 Internal HDD Cage |
The SE450 supports field upgrades to enable SATA drives in the internal drive cage. The following part numbers are available for cables.
Note: NVMe drive bays are not supported as field upgrades, due to the complexity of the cabling required.
Part number | Description | Purpose |
---|---|---|
4X97A90164 | ThinkEdge SE450 Internal 2x1 SATA Cable | SATA cable to connect from system planar to 2x drives (7mm or 15mm), one in each bay. See SATA 2x1 cable flyer. |
4X97A90165 | ThinkEdge SE450 Internal 2x2 SATA Cable | SATA cable to connect from system planar to 4x drives (7mm), two in each bay. See SATA 2x2 cable flyer. |
4X97A90161 | ThinkEdge SE450 Internal RAID 1x2 SATA Cable | SATA cable to connect from RAID adapter or HBA to 2x drives (7mm or 15mm), one in each bay. See SATA RAID 1x2 cable flyer. |
4X97A90162 | ThinkEdge SE450 Internal RAID 2x2 SATA Cable | SATA cable to connect from RAID adapter or HBA to 4x drives (7mm), two in each bay. See SATA RAID 2x2 cable flyer. |
Hot-swap drive bays
The SE450 supports 2x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, mounted in place of Riser 2.
Figure 8. Location of the hot-swap drive bays
The drive cage is only available in preconfigured models or CTO. Field upgrades are not available.
Part number | Feature code | Description |
---|---|---|
CTO only | BMGN | ThinkEdge SE450 Front HDD Cage (includes 2-drive AnyBay backplane) |
Configuration requirements:
- The hot-swap drive bays support 2.5-inch hot-swap drives, either SATA, NVMe or SAS. SAS drives require the use of a RAID adapter or SAS HBA.
- The hot-swap drive bays are mutually exclusive with Riser 2 (slots 3 and 4)
- The server supports a maximum of 4x NVMe drives, so if two NVMe drives are configured as hot-swap drives, then only two NVMe drives can be configured in the internal drive cage (trayless drives)
- The required cables are derived by the configurator; SATA and NVMe cables are configured based on the controller selected even if no drives are selected in DCSC.
DCSC tip: In order to select the hot-swap drive cage (feature BMGN), you must first select two controllers:
- The Onboard NVMe controller (BC4V); plus
- Either the onboard SATA controller (AVV0) or a RAID adapter/HBA.
You must select both NVMe and SATA/SAS controllers because the hot-swap drive bays have an AnyBay backplane. If you do not select one of each controller then BMGN will be unselectable. Once BMGN is selected, you will then need to deselect Riser 2 (feature BMGM) from the PCIe tab, since the hot-swap drive bays are installed in place of Riser 2.
For configurations with onboard SATA, it is supported to upgrade the controller to a RAID adapter or HBA. To do so, order the adapter as well as the RAID cable listed in the following table, 4X97A90160. Similarly, to remove a RAID adapter or HBA and reconfigure the server to use the onboard SATA controller instead, order the SATA cable listed, 4X97A90163.
Part number | Description | Purpose |
---|---|---|
4X97A90160 | ThinkEdge SE450 RAID 1x2 SATA Cable For Backplane | SATA cable to connect from RAID adapter or HBA to hot-swap drive backplane. See cable flyer. |
4X97A90163 | ThinkEdge SE450 1x2 SATA Cable For Backplane | SATA cable to connect from system planar to hot-swap drive backplane. See cable flyer. |
Supported drive bay combinations
The following drive bay combinations are supported:
- Up to 4x internal SATA drives + optional M.2 (no hot-swap drives)
- Up to 4x internal NVMe drives + optional M.2 (no hot-swap drives)
- Up to 4x internal SATA drives + up to 2x hot-swap SATA drives + optional M.2
- Up to 4x internal SATA drives + up to 2x hot-swap NVMe drives + optional M.2
- Up to 2x internal NVMe drives + up to 2x hot-swap SATA drives + optional M.2
- Up to 2x internal NVMe drives + up to 2x hot-swap NVMe drives + optional M.2
- M.2 drives only (no hot-swap drives, no internal drives)
- Up to 2x hot-swap drives + M.2 drives (no internal drives)
Configurations rules:
- Zero internal (trayless) drives can be selected (M.2 drive is not required)
- Hot-swap drive bays are not available if Riser 2 is installed. NVMe drives are not supported in some adapter slot configurations. See the Configurations section for details.
- For configurations with hot-swap drive bays, only 2x internal (non-hot-swap) NVMe drives are supported; 4x internal NVMe drives are not supported
Tip: The SE450 now offers greater flexibility in storage configurations:
- Internal (trayless) drives: 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4 drives
- Hot-swap drives: 0, 1 or 2 drives
- M.2 drives: 0, 1, or 2 drives
M.2 drives
The SE450 supports one or two M.2 form-factor SATA or NVMe drives for use as an operating system boot solution. The M.2 drives install into an M.2 module which is mounted vertically in the SE450 in a bracket attached to the power supply cage. See the internal view of the server for the location.
Tip: It is supported to have a configuration with M.2 drives but without any other internal drives (trayless or hot-swap)

Configuration notes:
- 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.
- Installed GPUs must be identical
- Full-length GPUs such as the Intel Flex 170, NVIDIA L40, A30, and A40 are only supported with the following processors that have a 1U heatsink:
- Intel Xeon Gold 6330N
- Intel Xeon Gold 5318N
- Intel Xeon Gold 5317
- Intel Xeon Silver 4316
- Intel Xeon Silver 4314
- Intel Xeon Silver 4310T
- When the NVIDIA A40 GPU is installed, the maximum ambient temperature is 40°C (104°F).
- The use of the double-wide GPUs requires an auxiliary power cable as listed in the following table. For CTO orders, power cables are automatically derived by the configurator.

Cooling
The SE450 server has six 60 mm dual-rotor simple-swap fans.
All six are standard and support N+1 rotor redundancy.
Power supplies
The SE450 supports one or two hot-swap power supplies, installed at the front of the server. When two are installed, they are redundant in most configurations. Ordering information is listed in the following table.

4P57A78283 | BMHA | ThinkEdge 1100W -48V DC Hot-Swap Power Supply | 2 |
Configuration requirements:
- If two power supplies are installed, they must be identical.
- To determine the power supply needed for your configuration, use Lenovo Capacity Planner as described in the Capacity Planner section.
- Power supplies from other ThinkSystem servers have fans that operate in the opposite direction and are not supported.
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.

Systems management
The SE450 contains an integrated service processor, XClarity Controller (XCC), which provides advanced control, monitoring, and alerting functions. The XCC is based on the ASPEED AST2600 baseboard management controller (BMC).
Topics in this section:
Activation
Activation is an optional security feature of the SE450 that ensures that the system delivered from the factory is only used by its intended recipient and that all data and applications remains secure. Activation is enabled on a factory order when the Security Pack Enabled feature code (feature BLZ2) is selected as described in the Security Pack section.
Enabled by default: Activation is enabled by default for new CTO orders. Activation can be disabled in the factory order as described in the Security Pack section.
If Activation is enabled, the system is delivered in system lockdown and will require activation before operation. There are three ways the server can be activated:
- Using a mobile device (iOS or Android) connect to the server to the USB management port on the front of the server and running the ThinkShield Edge Mobile Management app.
- Connecting the system to the Internet via the XCC management port on the front of the server and accessing the ThinkShield Key Vault Portal from a web browser on another system.
- In a disconnected mode, where neither a mobile device or an internet connection to the SE450 are available.
Details of the activation process are described in the following documents:
- Activation Guide (2-page flyer that is included with the server)
- SE450 Setup Guide, Chapter 5

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 with the Security Pack depopulated (physically removed from the system board), it cannot later be added.
- 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).

Working at a time convenient for you (business hours or off shift), the technician will unpack and inspect the systems on your site, install options, mount in a rack cabinet, connect to power and network, check and update firmware to the latest levels, verify operation, and dispose of the packaging, allowing your team to focus on other priorities.
- Deployment Services
When investing in new IT infrastructures, you need to ensure your business will see quick time to value with little to no disruption. Lenovo deployments are designed by development and engineering teams who know our Products & Solutions better than anyone else, and our technicians own the process from delivery to completion. Lenovo will conduct remote preparation and planning, configure & integrate systems, validate systems, verify and update appliance firmware, train on administrative tasks, and provide post-deployment documentation. Customer’s IT teams leverage our skills to enable IT staff to transform with higher level roles and tasks.
- Integration, Migration, and Expansion Services
Move existing physical & virtual workloads easily, or determine technical requirements to support increased workloads while maximizing performance. Includes tuning, validation, and documenting ongoing run processes. Leverage migration assessment planning documents to perform necessary migrations.
