These configurations, along with Lenovo EveryScale Solutions, can also be built using System x and Cluster Solutions Configurator (x-config). Tip: Some HPC and AI models are not listed in DCSC and can only be configured in x-config.

Controlled GPU models: The "Controlled GPU" base CTO models listed in the table are the only models that support high-performance GPUs and accelerators. These models are classified under US Government ECCN regulations and have limited market and customer availability. All other base models do not support high-performance GPUs.

Preconfigured server models may also be available for the SR650 V3, however these are region-specific; that is, each region may define their own server models, and not all server models are available in every region.

The following table lists the base CTO models of the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 server.

CTO models for NVIDIA Bluefield SmartNIC DPUs

The SR650 V3 supports the new VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine (DSE) using the NVIDIA Bluefield SmartNIC Data Processing Unit (DPU). This solution improves the performance of VMware vSphere by offloading tasks from server CPUs to the DPU thereby making data center applications more efficient.

VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine is only available in CTO builds using the DPU-specific models listed in the following table.

For more information, see the DPU adapter section.

Processor features

Processors supported by the SR650 V3 introduce new embedded accelerators to add even more processing capability:

  • QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT)

    Help reduce system resource consumption by providing accelerated cryptography, key protection, and data compression with Intel QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT). By offloading encryption and decryption, this built-in accelerator helps free up processor cores and helps systems serve a larger number of clients.

  • Intel Dynamic Load Balancer (Intel DLB)

    Improve the system performance related to handling network data on multi-core Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Intel Dynamic Load Balancer (Intel DLB) enables the efficient distribution of network processing across multiple CPU cores/threads and dynamically distributes network data across multiple CPU cores for processing as the system load varies. Intel DLB also restores the order of networking data packets processed simultaneously on CPU cores.

  • Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel DSA)

    Drive high performance for storage, networking, and data-intensive workloads by improving streaming data movement and transformation operations. Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel DSA) is designed to offload the most common data movement tasks that cause overhead in data center-scale deployments. Intel DSA helps speed up data movement across the CPU, memory, and caches, as well as all attached memory, storage, and network devices.

  • Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel IAA)

    Run database and analytics workloads faster, with potentially greater power efficiency. Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel IAA) increases query throughput and decreases the memory footprint for in-memory database and big data analytics workloads. Intel IAA is ideal for in-memory databases, open source databases and data stores like RocksDB, Redis, Cassandra, and MySQL.

  • Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel AMX)

    Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel AMX) is a built-in accelerator in all Silver, Gold, and Platinum processors that significantly improves deep learning training and inference. With Intel AMX, you can fine-tune deep learning models or train small to medium models in just minutes. Intel AMX offers discrete accelerator performance without added hardware and complexity.

The processors also support a separate and encrypted memory space, known as the SGX Enclave, for use by Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX). The size of the SGX Enclave supported varies by processor model. Intel SGX offers hardware-based memory encryption that isolates specific application code and data in memory. It allows user-level code to allocate private regions of memory (enclaves) which are designed to be protected from processes running at higher privilege levels.

Intel On Demand feature licensing

Intel On Demand is a licensing offering from Lenovo for certain 4th Gen and 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors that implements software-defined silicon (SDSi) features. The licenses allow customers to activate the embedded accelerators and to increase the SGX Enclave size in specific processor models as their workload and business needs change.

The available upgrades are the following:

  • Up to 4x QuickAssist Technology (Intel QAT) accelerators
  • Up to 4x Intel Dynamic Load Balancer (Intel DLB) accelerators
  • Up to 4x Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel DSA) accelerators
  • Up to 4x Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel IAA) accelerators
  • 512GB SGX Enclave, an encrypted memory space for use by Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX)

See the Processor features section for a brief description of each accelerator and the SGX Enclave.

The following table lists the ordering information for the licenses. Accelerator licenses are bundled together based on the suitable workloads each would benefit with the additional accelerators.

Licenses can be activated in the factory (CTO orders) using feature codes, or as field upgrades using the option part numbers. With the field upgrades, they allow customers to only activate the accelerators or to increase the SGX Enclave size when their applications can best take advantage of them.

Intel On Demand is licensed on individual processors. For servers with two processors, customers will need a license for each processor and the licenses of the two processors must match. If customers add a second processor as a field upgrade, then you must ensure that the Intel On Demand licenses match the first processor.

Each license enables a certain quantity of embedded accelerators - the total number of accelerators available after activation is listed in the table. For example, Intel On Demand Communications & Storage Suite 4 (4L47A89451), once applied to the server, will result in a total of 4x QAT, 4x DLB and 4x DSA accelerators to be enabled the processor. The number of IAA accelerators is unchanged in this example.

Configuration rules:

  • Not all processors support Intel On Demand upgrades - see the table for those that do not support Intel On Demand
  • Upgrades can be performed in the factory (feature codes) or in the field (part numbers) but not both, and only one time
  • Upgrades cannot be removed once activated
  • SGX Enclave upgrades are independent of the accelerator upgrades; install either or both as desired
  • For processors that support more than one upgrade, all upgrades must be performed at the same time
  • Only one of each type of upgrade can be applied to a processor (eg 2x BX9A is not supported; 4x BX9B is not supported)
  • The following processors support two accelerator upgrades, Intel On Demand Analytics Suite 4 (4L47A89452) and Intel On Demand Communications & Storage Suite 4 (4L47A89451); the table(s) above shows the accelerators based on both upgrades being applied.
    • Intel Xeon Platinum 8460Y+
    • Intel Xeon Platinum 8480+
    • Intel Xeon Platinum 8568Y+
    • Intel Xeon Platinum 8592+
  • The number of accelerators listed for each upgrade is the number of accelerators that will be active one the upgrade is complete (ie the total number, not the number to be added)
  • If a server has two processors, then two feature codes must be selected, one for each processor. The upgrades on the two processors must be identical.
  • If a one-processor server with Intel On Demand features activated on it has a 2nd processor added as a field upgrade, the 2nd processor must also have the same features activated by purchasing the appropriate part numbers.

One-processor configurations

The SR650 V3 can be used with only one processor installed. Most core functions of the server (including the XClarity Controller) are connected to processor 1 as shown in the System architecture section.

With only one processor, the server has the following capabilities:

  • 16 memory DIMMs for a 4TB maximum
  • Rear slots: Slot 1-3 (riser 1) and slots 7-8 (riser 3) are available; (Slots 4-6 in Riser 2 are not available)

Thermal requirements for processors

For thermal requirements for processors, see the Thermal Rules section in the Information Center for the SR650 V3:
https://pubs.lenovo.com/sr650-v3/thermal_rules

Lenovo Neptune Processor DWC Module - Open-loop liquid cooling

The SR650 V3 also supports advanced direct-water cooling (DWC) capability with the Lenovo Neptune Processor DWC Module. This module implements a liquid cooling solution where heat from the processors is removed from the rack and the data center using an open loop and coolant distrubution units. The liquid used in the loop is a mixture of water and ethylene glycol (EGW).

With the Neptune Processor DWC Module, all heat generated by the processors is removed from the server using water. This means that the server fans and data center air conditioning units only need to remove the heat generated by the other components. This results in lower air conditioning costs and it enables the use of slower fans which results in lower overall power consumption.

Typical power saving of 23% (up to 9.9KW per rack) are possible, based on 18x SR650 V3 servers in a rack (DC level PUE weighted) at 30°C ambient temperature. Power savings are configuration dependent.

The following figure shows the Lenovo Neptune Processor DWC Module.

Lenovo Neptune Processor DWC Module
Figure 7. Lenovo Neptune Processor DWC Module

The Neptune Processor DWC Module also includes a leak detection module which can detect a leakage of more than 0.5ml (about 10 drops) along the length of the tube and then issue an event to the XClarity Controller. XCC will then post an error to the System Event Log and enable further actions. Once the liquid evaporates, a further event is issue to XCC.

The Neptune Processor DWC Module is only available in CTO orders, not as a field upgrade. Ordering information is listed in the following table.

UEFI operating modes

The SR650 V3 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.

Table 23. UEFI operating mode presets in DCSC
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 SR650 V3 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 SR650 V3, 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.

9x4 RDIMMs (also known as EC4 RDIMMs) are a new lower-cost DDR5 memory option supported in ThinkSystem V3 servers. 9x4 DIMMs offer the same performance as standard RDIMMs (known as 10x4 or EC8 modules), however they support lower fault-tolerance characteristics. Standard RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs support two 40-bit subchannels (that is, a total of 80 bits), whereas 9x4 RDIMMs support two 36-bit subchannels (a total of 72 bits). The extra bits in the subchannels allow standard RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs to support Single Device Data Correction (SDDC), however 9x4 RDIMMs do not support SDDC. Note, however, that all DDR5 DIMMs, including 9x4 RDIMMs, support Bounded Fault correction, which enables the server to correct most common types of DRAM failures.

For more information on DDR5 memory, see the Lenovo Press paper, Introduction to DDR5 Memory, available from https://lenovopress.com/lp1618.

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:

  • 4800 MHz memory is only supported with 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. 5600 MHz memory is only supported with 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, with only four exceptions

  • ECC detection/correction
  • Bounded Fault detection/correction
  • SDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs; look for "x4" in the DIMM description)
  • ADDDC (for 10x4-based memory DIMMs, not supported with 9x4 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 (minimum of one pair per processor), and both DIMMs in the pair 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 SR650 V3 server supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory 300 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.

Key workloads:

  • Hybrid cloud, IaaS, and Virtualization: Increased VM density
  • In-memory databases and data services: Higher capacity/larger databases, data reliability/quick recovery, memory performance
  • AI/Analytics: Faster real-time analytics and Machine Learning Analytics
  • Fast storage solutions: Increased storage capacity and performance

The following table lists the ordering information for the supported persistent memory modules.

4X77A75935 BNFB ThinkSystem 512GB TruDDR5 4400MHz Intel Optane PMem 16

The following are the requirements when installing persistent memory (PMem) modules:

  • Only App Direct Mode is supported; Memory Mode and Mixed Mode are not supported
  • All PMem modules operate at a maximum speed of 4400 MHz; any installed RDIMMs will also run at this maximum speed
  • PMem is supported only with 10x4 RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs; PMem is not supported with 9x4 RDIMMs
  • 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 only supported on the RDIMMs; Memory mirroring is not supported on the PMem modules

Internal storage

The SR650 V3 has three drive bay zones and supports up to 20x 3.5-inch or 40x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays or a combination of drive bays, depending on the selected chassis and backplane configuration. The server also supports configurations without any drive bays if desired.

The three drive bay zones are as follows:

  • Front:
    • Up to 12x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
    • Up to 24x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
  • Middle:
    • 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
    • 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
  • Rear:
    • Up to 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
    • Up to 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
    • Also supports 2x 7mm hot-swap drives bays

All drives are hot-swap and are accessible from the front, from the rear, or from drive bays that are located in the middle of the server (accessible when you remove the top cover of the server).

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 SR650 V3 supports NVMe drives to maximize storage performance.

  • Up to 36 NVMe drives in a 2.5-inch drive configuration, without oversubscription (that is, each x4 drive has a dedicated x4 (4 lanes) connection to the processor, either direct to the processor or via a retimer adapter)
    • Up to 24 installed in front bays
    • Up to 28 installed in the front and rear bays
    • Up to 32 installed in front and mid bays
    • Up to 36 installed in front, mid and rear bays
  • Up to 8 NVMe drives in a 3.5-inch drive configuration, without oversubscription
    • All installed in mid bays

Riser 3 support: The use of the onboard NVMe ports is mutually exclusive with Riser 3, as these use the same PCIe connectors. See the System architecture section.

The specifics of these configurations are covered in the Storage configurations section. The tables in those sections indicate the number of NVMe drives in each configuration.

In addition, the SR650 V3 supports two 7mm NVMe drives for use as boot drives. These two drives optionally support RAID via Intel VROC.

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 in either 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor 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 zone supports the following configurations:

  • 8x or 12x 3.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
  • 8x, 16x or 24x 2.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
  • 4x 2.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap) with support for front PCIe slots
  • No backplanes and no drives (supports field upgrades)

The specific combinations that are supported in the SR650 V3 are shown in the following figures. The feature codes listed are the backplane feature codes when ordering CTO and correspond to the feature codes listed in the table below the figure. Note that NVMe and AnyBay backplanes may be available either PCIe Gen4 (G4) or PCIe Gen5 (G5) as listed in the figures.

* Backplane has an onboard SAS expander that provides connectivity to front SAS/SATA drive bays using only an 8-port controller, plus support for 4x rear drives in a separate backplane (order the rear backplane separately). See below for additional information and requirements.

The use of front drive bays has the following configuration rules:

  • The SR650 V3 also supports configurations without any drive bays, allowing for drive bay upgrades as described in the field upgrades section.
  • Most backplanes require connections to controllers that provides enough ports to connect each drive (eg 8 ports for an 8-bay backplane). The only exceptions to that are the backplanes with built-in SAS expanders - these backplanes require a fewer number of controller ports to connect to the front drives, and also include a connection to up to 4x rear drive bays. Connections to mid-chassis backplanes or to 8x rear drive bays require additional controller ports. Supported connections are as follows:
    • For the ThinkSystem 2U 12x3.5" SAS/SATA with Rear 4-Bay Expander Backplane, feature BQ2S:
      • 12x3.5" front drives only: requires a single 8i controller
      • 12x3.5” + 4x3.5” (Rear): requires a single 8i controller, 8i to front+rear
      • 12x3.5” + 4x3.5” (Mid): requires 16i controller - 8i to front, 8i to middle
      • 12x3.5” + 4x3.5” (Mid) + 4x3.5” (Rear): requires 16i controller, 8i to front+rear, 8i to middle
    • For the ThinkSystem 2U 24x2.5" SAS/SATA with Rear 4-Bay Expander Backplane, feature BQ2T:
      • 24x2.5” front drives only: requires a single 8i controller
      • 24x2.5” + 4x2.5” (Rear): requires a single 8i controller, 8i to front+rear
      • 24x2.5” + 8x2.5” (Mid): requires 16i controller - 8i to front, 8i to middle
      • 24x2.5” + 8x2.5” (Mid) + 8x2.5” (Rear): requires 32i controller - 8i to front, 8i to middle, 8i to rear

    For specifics configurations, see the Storage configurations section.

  • If you are building a server configuration that includes the ThinkSystem 2U 24x2.5" SAS/SATA with Rear 4-Bay Expander Backplane (feature BQ2T) and the order also includes a rack cabinet, then you can configure at most 6 drives to be installed in the factory. The remaining drives must be ordered separately using the option part numbers for the drives. This requirement does not apply if the order does not include a rack cabinet. The requirement is due to the shock/vibration limits of the 24x 2.5-inch backplane.
  • If 3.5-inch front drive bays are used, an internal (CFF) RAID adapter or HBA is not supported as the adapter and bays occupy the same physical space
  • Any 8x 2.5-inch and 16x 2.5-inch drive configuration (SAS/SATA, AnyBay, or NVMe) can optionally be configured for use with the Integrated Diagnostics Panel as described in the Local management section. 3.5-inch drive configurations do not support the Integrated Diagnostics Panel. With the Integrated Diagnostics Display, 8-bay configurations can be upgrade to 16 bays, however 16-bay configurations cannot be upgrade to 24 bays.

Mid drive bays

The SR650 V3 supports hot-swap drives installed in the middle of the server chassis. The drive bays are accessible by removing the top lid of the server and levering the mid drive chassis up at the front.

The following configurations are supported:

  • 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays
  • 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays
  • 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap NVMe drive bays

The drive bays in the open position are shown in the following figure.

M.2 support: When mid drive bays are configured, the M.2 adapter is installed on the mid drive bay mechanical as shown in the images.

‡ 2.5-inch drive backplanes for the mid-chassis area must be installed in pairs. NVMe and SAS/SATA cannot be mixed.

Field upgrades: Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades along with require cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.

The use of drive bays in the mid-chassis area has the following configuration rules:

  • All processors are supported. Higher TDP processors will require the performance heatsinks.
  • Full-length adapter cards are not supported
  • GPUs (including low profile GPUs such as the NVIDIA A2) are not supported
  • The use of mid drive bays requires Riser 1 be installed, since power for the mid bay backplanes comes from Riser 1

Rear drive bays

The SR650 V3 supports hot-swap drives installed at the rear of the server chassis. Supported configurations are as follows:

  • 3.5-inch hot-swap drives
    • 2x SAS/SATA drive bays
    • 4x SAS/SATA drive bays
  • 2.5-inch hot-swap drives
    • 4x SAS/SATA drive bays
    • 4x NVMe Gen5 drive bays
    • 4x AnyBay Gen5 drive bays
    • 8x SAS/SATA drive bays

The configurations are shown in the following figure.

The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.

7mm drives: The SR650 V3 supports two 7mm drives. See the 7mm drives section for details.

Field upgrades: Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades along with require cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.

The use of rear drive bays has the following configuration rules:

  • The use of rear bays restricts the number of slots and the choice of risers that are supported. See the I/O expansion section for details.
  • The use of rear drive bays may require that Riser 1 or Riser 2 be installed, since power for the rear backplane comes from that riser.
  • Configurations with 4x 2.5-inch rear drive bays are not supported with 7mm drive bays, as they use the same power connector

Storage configurations

This section describes the various combinations of front and rear drives that the server supports, as well as M.2 support.

Tip: These tables are based on Config Matrix V4.1 in TRD V3.02

The following tables summarize the storage configurations for the SR650 V3. For details, including processor requirements, M.2 and 7mm support, and controller selections, see each of the Details tables.

Field upgrades

The SR650 V3 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 (for example, upgrading from 8 to 16x 2.5-inch drive bays).

Upgrade path: The key criteria for upgrade support is to ensure that the target configuration is one of the supported drive bay configurations as listed in the Supported drive bay combinations section.

For example, if you are upgrading a 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive configuration from 8 bays (Config 9) to 16 bays (Config 12), you will need these additional options:

  • 4XH7A60930, ThinkSystem V3 2U 8x2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit
  • 4X97A82935, ThinkSystem SR650 V3 2.5" Chassis Front BP2 SAS/SATA Cable Kit

To add drive bays you will need to order both drive backplanes and cable kits. Backplane kits do not include cables.

Drive bays field upgrades - 3.5-inch chassis

The table below lists the backplane kits and cable kits needed to build one of the supported 3.5-inch chassis configurations.

The Config numbers listed here match the configuration listed in the Storage configuration Overview and Details sections.

Upgrading to an internal (CFF) adapter

If you want to add an internal (CFF) storage adapter (HBA, RAID adapter or SAS expander) to a configuration, you will need to order the cable kit as listed in the following table. Suitable upgrades are either replacing an existing adapter in a rear PCIe slot, or adding the CFF adapter to a server without any storage adapter installed.

The cable kit to order is listed in the following table.

Table 40. Cable kit when upgrading to an Internal HBA/RAID adapter
Part number Description
4X97A82941 ThinkSystem SR650 V3 Internal HBA/RAID Adapter Cable Kit

The cable kit includes the cables need to connect to backplanes. Contents of the kit is listed in the following page:
https://serveroption.lenovo.com/cable_kit_options/cable_kit_sr650v3_internal_hba_raid_adapter

When adding drive bays, you will also need to add the appropriate CFF storage controller.

RAID flash power module (supercap) support

If you plan to add one of the RAID adapters that includes a RAID flash power module (supercap) as a field upgrade, then you may also need to order a Supercap installation kit for the supercap, depending on the location where the supercap will be installed. For CTO orders, the components needed are automatically derived when you select the RAID adapter.

The adapters that this applies to are as follows:

  • Any supported RAID 9350 adapter
  • Any supported RAID 940 adapter

The location of the supercaps depends on the mid-chassis drive cage used in the server, as shown in the following table.

Table 41. Supercap support
Mid drive cage Supercaps
supported
Location of supercaps Supercap holder
No mid drive cage 4 Mounted on the air baffle Not needed
2.5-inch drives 2 Mounted on the left side of the mid drive cage Integrated into the left side of the 2.5-inch mid drive cage
3.5-inch drives 1 Mounted under the system fan cage Included with the server or part of ThinkSystem SR650 V3 Middle 4x3.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit (4XH7A82916) (see below)

For 3.5-inch drive bay configurations, if the server already has 3.5-inch mid-chassis drive bays, then the supercap holder is already present under the system fan cages. If you plan to add 3.5-inch mid-chassis drive bays by adding ThinkSystem SR650 V3 Middle 4x3.5" SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit (4XH7A82916), then the supercap holder is part of the option kit.

7mm drives

The SR650 V3 supports two 7mm drives, either both SATA or both NVMe, at the rear of the server. These drives go in place of either PCIe slot 3 (Riser 1) or PCIe slot 6 (Riser 2) as shown in the following figure.

SR665 rear 7mm drive bay configurations
Figure 16. Rear 7mm drive bay configurations

For CTO orders, the configuration includes the drive bays and the cage the the drive bays are mounted on to.The cage required depends on where the 7mm drives are located (Riser 1 or Riser 2) and whether there are PCIe slots above the 7mm drive bays. The following table lists the ordering information.

The use of the 7mm rear drive bays has the following configuration rules:

  • The 7mm rear drive kit is supported in either slot 3 or slot 6 but not both at the same time.
  • 7mm drive bays are not supported in configurations with 4x 2.5-inch rear drive bays, as they use the same power connector
  • M.2 and 7mm are mutually exclusive: they are not supported together in the same configuration
  • For ThinkSystem 7mm SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Rear Enablement Kit v2 (feature BU0N):
    • The 7mm drive bays support either SATA drives or NVMe drives but not both. You specify SATA or NVMe in the configurator using feature codes BTTV (SATA) or BTTW (NVMe).
    • RAID support is implemented using VROC (no adapter needed) or with the use of an additional RAID adapter installed in a slot
    • If RAID is enabled using VROC, select these feature codes:
      • VROC SATA support: On Board SATA Software RAID Mode for 7mm (feature BS7U)
      • VROC NVMe support:
        • Intel VROC (VMD NVMe RAID) Standard for 7mm (feature BS7R)
        • Intel VROC RAID1 Only for 7mm (feature BZ4Y)
    • If RAID is enabled using a RAID adapter, the adapter is installed in any of PCIe slots 1-6:
      • RAID support for 7mm SATA drives requires a RAID 5350-8i adapter (feature BVL2)
      • RAID support for 7mm NVMe drives requires a RAID 540-8i adapter operating in Tri-Mode (feature BVL4)
    • The use of VROC SATA RAID is not supported by virtualization hypervisors such as ESXi, KVM, Xen, and Hyper-V. VROC NVMe RAID is supported by hypervisors, however.
  • For ThinkSystem 2U 7mm Drive Kit w/ NVMe RAID (feature B8P3)
    • The adapter only supports NVMe drives
    • RAID functionality is integrated into the 7mm adapter using a Marvell 88NR2241 NVMe RAID Controller
  • For ThinkSystem 7mm SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Rear Hot-Swap RAID Enablement Kit (feature BYFG)
    • The adapter supports either SATA or NVMe drives
    • RAID functionality is integrated into the 7mm adapter using a Broadcom RAID Controller

7mm drive field upgrades

For field upgrades, using the following ordering information. The kit includes two cages for use depending on your PCIe slot configuration. The cages are for either Riser 1 or Riser 2.

HW RAID support: The 7mm Enablement Kit part numbers below do not include the RAID adapter optionally used for 7mm HW RAID support. If you wish to enable hardware RAID support for 7mm, you will need to order either the 5350-8i for SATA RAID support or 540-8i for NVMe RAID support. In addition, the 540-8i, once installed, will need to be configured to operate in Tri-mode to enable NVMe RAID.

† Adapter also supports PCIe 4.0 x1 connectivity to NVMe drives (requires NVMe drives with U.3 interface)
‡ Internal adapters (CFF) do not occupy any of the rear slots.

Configuration notes:

  • VROC NVMe RAID support: Some 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors do not support Intel VROC NVMe RAID. See the Intel VROC NVMe RAID section for specifics.
  • Supercap support limits the number of RAID adapters installable: RAID 9350 and 940 adapters include a power module (supercap) to power the flash memory. The server supports between 1 and 4 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 currently not supported in ThinkSystem servers. For details see Support Tip HT513226. Planned support for this combination of adapters is 2Q/2024.

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 in either 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor 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 14x SATA drives
  • Supports RAID-0, 1, 5, 10 (Intel VROC SATA RAID, previously known as RSTe)
  • Supports JBOD
  • Supports HDDs and SSDs; can be mixed

The onboard NVMe support has the following features:

  • Controller integrated into the Intel processor
  • Supports up to 20x NVMe drives direct connected to onboard ports; additional drives through retimer/switch adapters
  • Each drive has PCIe 5.0 x4 host interface
  • Supports JBOD - Intel and non-Intel NVMe SSDs
  • Supports RAID-0, 1, 10 on Intel and non-Intel NVMe SSDs - Intel VROC Standard
  • VROC Premium adds RAID-5 support on Intel and non-Intel NVMe SSDs

Intel VROC onboard RAID

Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) is a feature of the Intel processor that enables RAID support.

There are two separate functions of VROC in the SR650 V3:

  • 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 SR650 V3 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 SR650 V3, 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 SR650 V3 supports the VROC NVMe RAID offerings listed in the following table.

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.

  • The following 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors do not support Intel VROC RAID1 Only (4L47A92670, BZ4W); Only VROC Standard and VROC Premium are supported:
    • Intel Xeon Bronze 3508U 8C 125W 2.1GHz Processor
    • Intel Xeon Silver 4509Y 8C 125W 2.6GHz Processor
    • Intel Xeon Silver 4510 12C 150W 2.4GHz Processor
    • Intel Xeon Silver 4510T 12C 115W 2.0GHz Processor

Virtualization support: Virtualization support for Intel VROC is as follows:

  • VROC SATA RAID (RSTe): VROC SATA RAID 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.

Table 67. USB memory key
Part number Feature Description
4X77A77065 BNWN ThinkSystem USB 32GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive

Internal backup units

The server does not supports any internal backup units, such as tape drives or RDX drives. External backup units are available as described in the External backup units section.

Optical drives

The server supports the external USB optical drive listed in the following table.

Table 68. External optical drive
Part number Feature code Description
7XA7A05926 AVV8 ThinkSystem External USB DVD RW Optical Disk Drive

The drive is based on the Lenovo Slim DVD Burner DB65 drive and supports the following formats: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-ROM, DVD-R DL, CD-RW, CD-R, CD-ROM.

I/O expansion

The SR650 V3 supports a total of up to 12x PCIe slots, 10x at the rear and 2x at the front, plus 1x OCP 3.0 SFF slot for networking. The OCP slot can be either at the front or at the rear (but not both). Slot availability is based on riser selection and drive bays configured. The use of some slots requires that both processors be installed as listed below.

Topics in this section:

Slot layout and connections

The rear slots are provided by riser cards:

  • Riser 1: Slots 1, 2 and 3, all full-height slots (connect to CPU 1)
  • Riser 2: Slots 4, 5, and 6, all full-height slots (connect to CPU 2)
  • Riser 3: Slot 7 and 8
    • When configured as full-height slots: Slot 7 connects to CPU 1, slot 8 to CPU 2
    • When configured as low-profile slots: Both slots connect to CPU 1
  • Riser 4: Slots 9 and 10 (connect to CPU 2)

The rear of the server also contains an OCP 3.0 slot, numbered as Slot 13 (connects to CPU 1).

NVMe support: Riser 3 can be configured with up to 8x NVMe or AnyBay drive bays.

The slots in each riser are either PCIe x16 or PCIe x8 depending on the riser card selected as listed in the table below. All x8 slots are open-ended and physically support x16 adapters. Depending on the risers selected, slots are either PCIe 5.0 or PCIe 4.0. The OCP slot has a PCIe 5.0 x16 host interface when located at the rear of the server or PCIe 4.0 x16 when located at the front of the server.

The SR650 V3 also supports front-accessible PCIe slots: 2x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots plus a dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slot with PCIe 4.0 interface for networking. Front-accessible slots are as follows:

  • Slot 11: PCIe 4.0 x16 FHHL (connects to CPU 2)
  • Slot 12: PCIe 4.0 x16 FHHL (connects to CPU 1)
  • Front OCP slot (slot 14): PCIe 4.0 x16 (connects to CPU 1)

As discussed in the Internal storage section, the server supports drive bays in the rear of the server. Depending on the drive bays selected, the number of slots available for adapters is reduced. The figure below shows the supported combinations of slots and drive bays.

Internal HBA/RAID adapter: 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 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.

SR650 V3 slots

Ordering information

The following table lists the riser cards available for CTO builds and for field upgrades.

No slots: It is also possible to build a configuration without any slots, in which case slot fillers will be derived in the configurator. Slots can be added later as field upgrades using option part numbers as listed in the table.

† In the configurator, when feature BQ2W is selected, BTMS is automatically derived and provides slots 9 & 10. 4XH7A86662 contains both risers. (Note: see the configuration rule below regarding the front drive bay support for 10x rear slots)

Configuration rules:

  • For best performance, install PCIe 5.0 adapters in PCIe 5.0 (Gen5) slots
  • The server only supports one OCP slot, either in the rear of the server or the front of the server, not both
  • The use of Riser 3 is mutually exclusive to onboard NVMe support as they use the same PCIe connectors.
  • Only the following drive bay configurations at the front of the server support the use of 10x rear slots (risers 1, 2, 3 and 4). These correspond to storage configs 9, 12, 14, 41, 31, 33, 35, 39, 40. All other configurations may require special bid support.
    • 8x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA
    • 8x 2.5-inch AnyBay
    • 16x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA
    • 16x 2.5-inch AnyBay
  • If you configure Riser 3 using a x16/x16 FH riser (feature BLL9 or BPKG) with only 1 processor installed, Slot 7 will be connected with x16 lanes, however Slot 8 will not be connected. If you later install the second processor as a field upgrade, you will need to order the necessary cable kit (4X97A82946 or 4X97A82944) to enable Slot 8. See Slot field upgrades for information.
  • If you want to configure 4x low profile slots for slots 7-10, select feature BQ2W which provides riser 3 (slots 7, 8). Feature BTMS will then be automatically derived to provide riser 4 (slots 9 & 10), along with the necessary cables. Option part number 4XH7A86662 contains both of these risers and the cables.
  • If you want to add both a 7mm drive enclosure plus 2x PCIe slots above it, you will need to order the 7mm drive option (either 4XH7A85898 or 4XH7A85899) plus the x16/x16/E riser kit (4XH7A82900 for PCIe Gen 5 or 4XH7A82892 for Gen 4). The riser kit part number provides the 2-slot riser card.

Network adapters

The server has a dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slot with a PCIe x16 host interface. See Figure 3 for the location of the OCP slot. When located at the rear of the server, the OCP slot operates at PCIe 5.0 speed (once PCIe 5.0 OCP adapters are supported); when located at the front of the server, the OCP slot operates at PCIe 4.0 speed.

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, either rear-accessible or front-accessible.

Configuration requirements:

  • Adapters with a x16 host interface require a x16 slot to maximize performance
  • PCIe Gen5 adapters will require a Gen5 riser to maximize performance
  • 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 currently not supported in ThinkSystem servers. For details see Support Tip HT513226. Planned support for this combination of adapters is 2Q/2024.

DPU adapter

The SR650 V3 supports the new VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine (DSE) using the NVIDIA Bluefield-2 SmartNIC Data Processing Unit (DPU). This solution improves the performance of VMware vSphere by offloading tasks from server CPUs to the DPU thereby making data center applications more efficient.

VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine is only available in CTO builds using the following DPU-specific models:

  • 7D76CTO4WW (3-year warranty)
  • 7D75CTO4WW (1-year warranty)

The DSE solution comprises of two primary components:

  • NVIDIA BlueField-2 full-height half-length (FHHL) PCIe adapter (feature BRPK)
  • OCP adapter to provide the necessary NC-SI connectivity to the XCC management processor of the server (feature BSH7)

The NVIDIA Bluefield-2 DPU has 8x ARM processor cores, 32GB onboard DDR4 ECC memory, and 2x 25GbE SFP56 ports. The purpose-built hardware-acceleration engines, embedded crypto and secure boot capabilities, and a software stack powered by the NVIDIA DOCA framework provide breakthrough data center performance, efficiency and security for software-defined storage, networking, and management of workloads.

Ordering information is listed in the following table. Both components are required.

https://lenovopress.com/lp0768-thinksystem-thinkagile-gpu-summary

For CTO orders, the SR650 V3 also supports the selection of a placeholder for a GPU. This selection results in a "GPU ready" configuration which ensures that the server ships with the components needed for GPU installation (GPU power cables, air ducts, power supplies, fans, etc) without actually including the GPUs themselves. The following table lists the ordering information for CTO orders.

Configuration rules

The following configuration requirements must be met when installing GPUs:

  • 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.
  • All GPUs installed must be identical
  • When a double-wide GPU is installed in slot 2, 5 or 7, the adjacent slot 1, 4 and 8 respectively is not available
  • Flash storage adapters are not supported.
  • Middle drive bays and Rear drive bays are not supported
  • 12x 3.5-inch backplanes are not supported
  • The following GPUs are not supported with PCIe Gen 5 risers:
    • ThinkSystem NVIDIA T1000 8GB PCIe Active GPU
    • ThinkSystem NVIDIA T400 4GB PCIe Active GPU

The server supports up to 3x double-wide GPUs, however due to thermal requirements, GPU support is affected by the front drive bay configuration and by ambient temperature:

  • With 16x 2.5-inch front drives bays:
    • Up to 3x double-wide GPUs are supported, in slots 2, 5, 7
    • For the NVIDIA A40, H100:
      • The use of 3x GPUs requires ambient temperature no higher than 25°C
      • The use of 2x GPUs (slots 2, 5) requires ambient temperature no higher than 30°C
    • All other GPUs: No ambient temperature restrictions-
  • With 24x 2.5-inch front drive bays:
    • Up to 2x double-wide GPUs are supported, in slots 2, 5
    • NVIDIA A40: No support
    • All other GPUs: Ambient temperature no higher than 25°C

For additional GPU requirements, see the Thermal rules page in the User Guide:
https://pubs.lenovo.com/sr650-v3/thermal_rules

Riser selections for double-wide GPUs

When a double-wide GPU is installed in slot 2, 5 or 7, the adjacent slot 1, 4 and 8 respectively is not available. The riser cards listed in the following table are used with double-wide GPUs.

GPU cable kits

The following cable kits are offered to provide auxiliary power cables for GPUs that require one. See the GPU part numbers section to see which GPUs require an auxiliary power cable.

Configuration notes:

  • This cable kits are only required for field upgrades; factory (CTO) orders will automatically include any required cables.
  • For double-wide GPUs, The DW (double-wide) cable kit is only required if you are adding additional double-wide GPUs to a server that already has a DW GPU installed from a CTO order. If you are doing a field upgrade to install the first DW GPU to a server, order the ThinkSystem SR650 V3 GPU Full Length Thermal Option Kit, 4X67A82883 instead, since 4X67A82883 includes the necessary power cables.

https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1288#sr650-v3-support=SR650%2520V3&internal-or-external-ports=External

The RAID 940-8e adapter uses a flash power module (supercap), which can be installed in one of up to 4 locations in the server depending on the server configuration. See the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section for details. The number of 940-8e RAID adapters supported is based on how many supercaps can be installed in the server. If an internal RAID adapter with flash power modules is installed, the maximum number of 940-8e adapters supported is reduced by 1.

Supported power supplies are auto-sensing dual-voltage units, supporting 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.

AC power supplies up to 1800W have a C14 connector. AC power supplies 2400W and above have a C19 connector.

The supported -48V DC power supply has a Weidmuller TOP 4GS/3 7.6 terminal as shown in the following figure.

ThinkSystem 1100W -48V DC v2 Power Supply
Figure 21. Connector on the ThinkSystem 1100W -48V DC Hot-Swap Gen2 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 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.

Systems management

The SR650 V3 contains an integrated service processor, XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2), which provides advanced control, monitoring, and alerting functions. The XCC2 is based on the AST2600 baseboard management controller (BMC) using a dual-core ARM Cortex A7 32-bit RISC service processor running at 1.2 GHz.

Topics in this section:

System I/O Board

The SR650 V3 implements a separate System I/O Board that connects to the Processor Board. The location of the System I/O Board is shown in the Components and connectors section. The System I/O Board contains all the connectors visible at the rear of the server as shown in the following figure.

System I/O Board
Figure 22. System I/O Board

The board also has the following components:

  • XClarity Controller 2, implemented using the ASPEED AST2600 baseboard management controller (BMC).
  • Root of Trust (RoT) module - a daughter card that implements Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) hardware Root of Trust (RoT) which enables the server to be NIST SP800-193 compliant. For more details about PFR, see the Security section.
  • Connector to enable an additional redundant Ethernet connection to the XCC2 controller. The connector is used in conjunction with the ThinkSystem V3 Management NIC Adapter Kit (4XC7A85319). For details, see the Remote management section.
  • Internal USB port - to allow the booting of an operating system from a USB key. The VMware ESXi preloads use this port for example. Preloads are described in the Operating system support section.
  • MicroSD card port to enable the use of a MicroSD card for additional storage for use with the XCC2 controller. XCC2 can use the storage as a Remote Disc on Card (RDOC) device (up to 4GB of storage). It can also be used to store firmware updates (including N-1 firmware history) for ease of deployment.

    Tip: Without a MicroSD card installed, the XCC2 controller will have 100MB of available RDOC storage.

Ordering information for the supported USB drive and Micro SD card are listed in the following table.

Local management

The SR650 V3 offers a front operator panel with key LED status indicators, as shown in the following figure.

Tip: The Network LED only shows network activity of the installed OCP network adapter.

SR650 V3 front controls
Figure 23. Front operator controls are on the left and right side of the server

Light path diagnostics

The server offers light path diagnostics. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, 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

Front VGA and External Diagnostics ports

The VGA port at the rear of the server is included in all models, however the VGA port at the front of the server is optional. Also optional is the External Diagnostics port which enables the use of the External Diagnostics Handset.

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 SR650 V3 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 SR650 V3 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).

Table 98. Secure Boot options
Part number Feature code Description Purpose
CTO only BPKQ TPM 2.0 with Secure Boot Configure the system in the factory with Secure Boot enabled.
CTO only BPKR TPM 2.0 Configure the system without Secure Boot enabled. Customers can enable Secure Boot later if desired.

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.
