Processor features

The 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors introduce new embedded accelerators to add even more processing capability:

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

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

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 11. 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. It is expected that will be 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. It is the favored mode for Energy Star certification for example.

Memory options

The SR650 V3 uses Lenovo TruDDR5 memory operating at up to 4800 MHz. The server supports up to 32 DIMMs with 2 processors. The processors have 8 memory channels and support 2 DIMMs per channel. The server supports up to 8TB of memory using 32x 256GB 3DS RDIMMs and two processors.

The following table lists the memory options that are available for the server.

Lenovo TruDDR5 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 TruDDR5 memory automatically assumes the system warranty, and Lenovo provides service and support worldwide.

9x4 RDIMMs (also known as Optimized or 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:

  • The server supports three types of DIMMs: 9x4 RDIMMs, RDIMMs, and 3DS RDIMMs; UDIMMs and LRDIMMs are not supported

  • Mixing of DIMM types is not supported (9x4 DIMMs with 10x4 RDIMMs, 9x4 DIMMs with 3DS RDIMMs, 10x4 RDIMMs with 3DS RDIMMs)

  • The mixing of 128GB 3DS RDIMMs and 256GB 3DS RDIMMs is supported, however all DIMM slots must be populated evenly: 8x 128GB DIMMs and 8x 256GB DIMMs per processor

  • Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is not supported
  • Mixing of DIMM rank counts is supported. Follow the required installation order installing the DIMMs with the higher rank counts first.
  • Mixing of DIMM capacities is supported, however only two different capacities are supported across all channels of the processor (eg 16GB and 32GB). Follow the required installation order installing the larger DIMMs first.

For best performance, consider the following:

  • Ensure the memory installed is at least the same speed as the memory bus of the selected processor.
  • Populate all 8 memory channels.

The following memory protection technologies are supported:

  • 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

Note: Memory sparing is not supported

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.

Table 13. Persistent memory module part numbers

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 32 NVMe drives (36 planned for 2023) 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 32 installed in front and mid bays
    • Up to 36 installed in front, mid and rear bays (rear support planned for 2023)
  • 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. 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:

  • 3.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
    • No backplane and no drives (supports field upgrades)
    • 8x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA
    • 12x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA
    • 12x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA with an attached SAS expander for 4x rear bays
    • 8x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA + 4x 3.5-inch AnyBay
    • 8x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA + 4x 3.5-inch NVMe
  • 2.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
    • No backplane and no drives (supports field upgrades)
    • 8x SAS/SATA
    • 16x SAS/SATA
    • 24x SAS/SATA
    • 24x SAS/SATA with an attached SAS expander for 4x rear bays
    • 8x NVMe
    • 12x NVMe
    • 16x NVMe
    • 24x NVMe
    • 8x AnyBay
    • 16x AnyBay
    • 8x SAS/SATA + 8x AnyBay
    • 16x SAS/SATA + 8x AnyBay
    • 8x SAS/SATA + 8x NVMe
    • 16x SAS/SATA + 8x NVMe
    • 8x SAS/SATA + 16x NVMe
    • 8x AnyBay + 8x NVMe
    • 8x AnyBay + 16x NVMe
  • 2.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap) that support front PCIe slots
    • 16x SAS/SATA
    • 8x SAS/SATA + 8x NVMe
    • 8x SAS/SATA + 8x AnyBay

These configurations 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.

Tip: Configurations with 8x or 16x total drive bays can be configured with or without an Integrated Diagnostics Panel with pull-out LCD display. With the Integrated Diagnostics Display, 8-bay configurations can be upgrade to 16 bays, however 16-bay configurations cannot be upgrade to 24 bays. See the Local management section for details.

* Backplane has an onboard SAS expander that provides connectivity to SAS/SATA drive bays in a separate rear backplane (order the rear backplane separately)

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

  • If 3.5-inch front drive bays are used, an internal 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.

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.

‡ 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 AnyBay drive bays
    • 8x SAS/SATA drive bays

The configurations are shown in the following figure.

Note: The 4x 2.5-inch AnyBay backplane (feature BSE3) is planned for support in 1H/2023.

* Planned to be supported in 1H/2023

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.

Storage configurations

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

In this section:

Front PCIe slots: Support for front PCIe slots is planned for 2Q/2023.

Overview of configurations

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 the Storage configurations - Details section.

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 V2/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.

Tables in this section:

3.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades

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

Upgrading to an internal adapter

If you have an existing configuration with an HBA or RAID adapter installed in one of the rear PCIe slots, and you wish to upgrade to one of the internal (CFF) storage adapters (HBA, RAID or SAS expander), you will need to order an additional cable kit as listed in the following table.

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

Table 24. Cable kit when upgrading to an Internal HBA/RAID adapter
Part number Description
4X97A82941 ThinkSystem SR650 V3 Internal HBA/RAID Adapter Cable Kit

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

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 25. 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 Included with mid drive cage
3.5-inch drives 2 Mounted under the system fan cage Order separately for field upgrades (see following table)

When adding a RAID 9350 or 940 adapter as a field upgrade to a configuration with 3.5-inch mid drive bays, order one supercap holder. Ordering information is in the following table.

Table 26. Supercap holder for 3.5-inch mid drive bay config

4XH7A86163 BLL8 ThinkSystem V3 2U Supercap Holder Kit 1 (holds 2 supercaps)

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.

Tip: These 7mm drives can be used in conjunction with any rear drive 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch bay combination.

SR665 rear 7mm drive bay configurations
Figure 14. 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.

Tip for 4x 3.5-inch rear drives: If you wish to configure 4x 3.5-inch rear drives plus 7mm drives in a CTO configuration, the 7mm drives will install in slot 6. You should specify riser card BLKP for Riser 1 and then leave Riser 2 without a riser selected.

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

  • 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).
  • The 7mm rear drive kit is supported in either slot 3 or slot 6 but not both at the same time.
  • 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)
  • If RAID is enabled using a RAID adapter, the adapter is installed in PCIe slot 3:
    • 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)
  • M.2 RAID and 7mm RAID (VROC or using a RAID adapter) are mutually exclusive: they are not supported together in the same configuration

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.

* Only supported with 2.5-inch front drive bays. Not supported in configurations with 3.5-inch front drive bays.
† 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:

  • 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/2023 (23A).

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. 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, both SATA SSDs and SATA HDDs. 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, it implements RAID levels 0, 1, 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.

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.

By default, VROC NVMe RAID on the SR650 V3 does not support RAID 5 (VROC Standard, feature BR9B). If you wish to enable RAID-5 support, select the VROC Premium license using the ordering information in the following table. VROC Premium is fulfilled as a Feature on Demand (FoD) license and is activated via the XCC management processor user interface.

Table 35. VROC upgrade
Part number Feature code Description
4L47A39164 B96G Intel VROC (VMD NVMe RAID) Premium

VROC Premium is only needed on the SR650 V3 for RAID-5 support with NVMe drives. You do not need the VROC Premium license upgrade under any of the following conditions:

  • If you have SATA drives connected to the onboard SATA ports, you do not need VROC Premium
  • If you are using RAID 0, 1 or 10 with NVMe drives, you do not need VROC Premium

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.

For specifications about the RAID adapters and HBAs supported by the SR650 V3, see the ThinkSystem RAID Adapter and HBA Comparison, available from:

USB memory key

For general portable storage needs, the server also supports the USB memory key option that is listed in the following table.

Table 49. 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 50. 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 server supports a total of up to 10x rear-accessible PCIe slots, plus a dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slot for networking. Slot availability is based on riser selection. The use of some slots requires that both processors be installed as listed below.

Topics in this section:

Slot layout and connections

The 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)

NVMe support: The use of Riser 3 is mutually exclusive to onboard NVMe support as they use the same PCIe connectors.

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 SR650 V3 also supports front-accessible PCIe slots (planned for 2Q/2023): 2x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots plus a dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slot 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 2)

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
Figure 15. SR650 V3 rear slot configurations

The following figure shows the locations of the front-accessible slots.

Front PCIe slots: Support for front PCIe slots is planned for 2Q/2023.

SR650 V3 front 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. 4XH7A85888 contains both risers.
‡ Planned for 2Q/2023

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 (front OCP slot planned for 2Q/2023)
  • 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 4XH7A85888 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.
  • All PCIe x8 slots are open ended and will physically support x16 adapters

Serial port

The SR650 V3 optionally supports a RS-232 serial port by adding a COM port bracket to either slot 3 or slot 6. Ordering information is shown in the following table.

Front PCIe slots: The serial port is not supported in the front PCIe slots

* When a double-wide GPU is installed in slot 2, 5 or 7, the adjacent slot 1, 4 and 8 respectively is not available

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

For CTO orders, the SR650 V3 also supports the selection of a "virtual GPU" or placeholder GPU. This selection allows for "GPU ready" configurations; It 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, and 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
  • 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

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 the Enablement Kit includes the necessary power cables.

Cooling

The SR650 V3 server has up to six 60 mm hot-swap variable-speed fans. Five fans are needed when one processor is installed and six fans are required when two processors are installed. The server offers N+1 redundancy. The server also has one or two additional fans integrated in each of the two power supplies.

Depending on the configuration, the server will need either Standard fans (single-rotor 17K RPM) or Performance fans (dual-rotor 21K RPM).

Under the following conditions, Standard fans can be used:

  • Processor TDP < 270W
  • No GPUs
  • No 256GB 3DS RDIMMs
  • No Persistent memory
  • No mid-chassis or rear drive backplanes
  • None of the following network adapters:

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.

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 feature code to enable secure boot in the factory, or to leave it disabled.

Table 78. Secure Boot options
Part number Feature code Description Purpose
CTO only BPKQ TPM 2.0 with security 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.
