One-processor configurations
The SR665 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:
- 12 memory DIMMs
- Slot 1-3 are available; Slot 4-8 are not available
- 16 onboard SATA connections
- 8 onboard NVMe connections
Drive support and controller support is as listed in the Storage configurations section - see the rows for 1 processor installed in the tables.
Thermal requirements by processor
In the SR665 V3, processors either use a standard heatsink or a performance heatsink depending on the TDP of the processor. Performance heatsinks include two satellite heatsinks that connect to the main heatsink via liquid filled copper tubes.
Processors with a TDP > 300W are not supported with any of the following:
- 24x 2.5-inch front drive bays
- 12x 3.5-inch front drive bays
- Any GPUs
Additional ambient temperature restrictions may apply. See the Operating environment section for details.
UEFI operating modes
The SR665 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.
| Feature code | Description |
|---|---|
| BFYA | Operating mode selection for: "Maximum Efficiency Mode" |
| BFYB | Operating mode selection for: "Maximum Performance Mode" |
The preset modes for the SR665 V3 are as follows:
- Maximum Efficiency Mode (feature BFYA): Maximizes performance/watt efficiency while maintaining reasonable performance
- Maximum Performance Mode (feature BFYB): Achieves maximum performance but with higher power consumption and lower energy efficiency.
For details about these preset modes, and all other performance and power efficiency UEFI settings offered in the SR665 V3, see the paper "Tuning UEFI Settings for Performance and Energy Efficiency on AMD Processor-Based ThinkSystem Servers", available from https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1267.
Memory options
The SR665 V3 uses Lenovo TruDDR5 memory operating at up to 4800 MHz. The server supports up to 24 DIMMs with 2 processors. The processors have 12 memory channels and support 1 DIMM per channel. The server supports up to 6TB of memory using 24x 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 SR665 V3 supports quantities 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 DIMMs per processor; other quantities not supported
- The server supports four types of DIMMs: 9x4 RDIMMs, 10x4 RDIMMs, x8 RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs; UDIMMs and LRDIMMs are not supported
- Mixing of DIMM types is not supported (for example, 9x4 DIMMs with 10x4 RDIMMs)
- Mixing of 128GB 3DS RDIMMs and 256GB 3DS RDIMMs is not supported
- 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.
Note: Memory mirroring and memory rank sparing are not supported.
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 12 memory channels with identical DIMMs (same Lenovo part number)
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. Not supported with 9x4 RDIMMs)
- Patrol/Demand Scrubbing
- DRAM Address Command Parity with Replay
- DRAM Uncorrected ECC Error Retry
- On-die ECC
- ECC Error Check and Scrub (ECS)
- Post Package Repair
Internal storage
The SR665 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 SR665 V3 supports NVMe drives to maximize storage performance.
- Up to 32 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 32 installed in front and mid 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 SR665 V3 supports two 7mm NVMe drives for use as boot drives. These two drives optionally support RAID via a separate RAID adapter installed in a PCIe slot.
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:
- 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 (planned for 2Q/2023)
- No backplanes and no drives (supports field upgrades)
The specific combinations that are supported in the SR665 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 are available either PCIe Gen4 (G4) or PCIe Gen5 (G5).

| BQ2T | ThinkSystem 2U 24x2.5" SAS/SATA with Rear 4-Bay Expander Backplane | 24* | - | 1 |
| Integrated Diagnostics Panel (for 2.5-inch configurations with 8 or 16 bays only) | ||||
| BMJA | ThinkSystem 2U 16x2.5" Front Operator Panel v2 | - | - | 1 |
* Backplane has an onboard SAS expander that provides connectivity to SAS/SATA drive bays in a separate rear backplane (order the rear backplane separately). See also note below for BQ2T.
The use of front drive bays has the following configuration rules:
- Support for front PCIe slots is planned for 2Q/2023.
- The SR665 V3 also supports configurations without any drive bays, allowing for drive bay upgrades as described in the field upgrades section.
- 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.
- 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.
Mid drive bays
The SR665 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.
Figure 10. Mid-chassis drive bays
The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
| Feature code |
Description | PCIe Gen |
Maximum supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid - 3.5-inch drive backplane | |||
| BCQK | ThinkSystem 2U 4x3.5" SAS/SATA Middle Backplane | - | 1 |
| Mid - 2.5-inch drive backplane | |||
| BCQL | ThinkSystem 2U 4x2.5" SAS/SATA Middle Backplane | - | 2‡ |
| BDY7 | ThinkSystem 2U 4x2.5" Middle NVMe Backplane | Gen4 | 2‡ |
‡ 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 SR665 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 Gen4 backplane (feature BQ2U) is planned for support in 2Q/2023.
Figure 11. Rear 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drive bay configurations
The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
7mm drives: The SR665 V3 supports two 7mm drives. See the 7mm drives section for details.
| Feature code |
Description | PCIe Gen |
Maximum supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rear - 3.5-inch drive backplanes | |||
| BAG7 | ThinkSystem 2U 2x3.5" SAS/SATA Rear Backplane | - | 1 |
| B8L3 | ThinkSystem 1U/2U 4x3.5" SAS/SATA Backplane | - | 1 |

| B97X | ThinkSystem 2U 8x2.5" SAS/SATA Rear Backplane | 1 | 1 |
* Planned to be supported in 2Q/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.
Tip: These tables are based on Config Matrix V1.4B in TRD 2.3.

Field upgrades
The SR665 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).
To add drive bays you will need to order both drive backplanes and cable kits. Backplane kits do not include cables.
The upgrades are listed as follows:
- 3.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades
- 2.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades
- Upgrades to Retimer adapters
- Upgrades to an Internal (CFF) HBA/RAID adapter

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.
Tip: The configurations each have a letter that matches the configurations listed in the Storage configurations section.

When adding drive bays, you will also need to add the appropriate storage controller(s). Consult the tables in the Storage configurations section to determine what controller sections are supported and what additional controllers you will need. Controllers are described in the Controllers for internal storage section.
2.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades
The table below lists the backplane kits and cable kits needed to build one of the supported 2.5-inch chassis configurations.
Tip: The configurations each have a letter that matches the configurations listed in the Storage configurations section.
Note: Front drive cable kits are based on the location of the backplane in the server. The three backplane locations are BP1, BP2 and BP3 as shown in the following figure.

When adding drive bays, you will also need to add the appropriate storage controller(s). Consult the tables in the Storage configurations section to determine what controller sections are supported and what additional controllers you will need. Controllers are described in the Controllers for internal storage section.
Upgrades to Retimer adapters
If you are upgrading to a configuration that includes a Retimer adapter (see the Detailed tables in the Storage configurations section), then you will need to also order one of the following cable kits.
| Part number | Description | Quantity required |
|---|---|---|
| 4X97A85860 | ThinkSystem SR665 V3 32x2.5" PCIe Gen4 NVME Retimer Cable Option Kit | 1 |
| 4X97A85859 | ThinkSystem SR665 V3 24x2.5" PCIe Gen4 NVME Retimer Cable Option Kit | 1 |
Upgrades to an Internal (CFF) HBA/RAID 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.
| Part number | Description | Quantity required |
|---|---|---|
| 4X97A85177 | ThinkSystem SR665 V3 Internal HBA/RAID Adapter Cable Option Kit | 1 |
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.
| 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.
| Part number | Feature | Description | Maximum supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4XH7A86163 | BLL8 | ThinkSystem V3 2U Supercap Holder | 1 (holds 2 supercaps) |
7mm drives
The SR665 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.
Figure 13. 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.
| Feature code |
Description | Maximum supported |
|---|---|---|
| Backplane - 7mm drives | ||
| BU0N | ThinkSystem 7mm SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Rear Enablement Kit v2 | 1 |
| Controllers for RAID support of 7mm drives | ||
| BT7N | ThinkSystem RAID 5350-8i for M.2/7mm SATA Boot Enablement | 1 |
| BT7P | ThinkSystem RAID 540-8i for M.2/7mm NVMe Boot Enablement | 1 |
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.
- If RAID support is not required, the 7mm drives connect to an onboard port; No additional adapter is required
- If RAID support is required, select feature code BS7A in the configurator to enable RAID
- The support of RAID-1 with the 7mm drives requires an additional RAID adapter that is installed in PCIe slot 3:
- RAID support for 7mm SATA drives requires a RAID 5350-8i adapter (feature BT7N)
- RAID support for 7mm NVMe drives requires a RAID 540-8i adapter operating in Tri-Mode (feature BT7P)
- The RAID adapter used for 7mm drive support cannot be configured for use with other drive bays (not even with M.2)
- M.2 and 7mm are mutually exclusive: they are not supported together in the same configuration
For field upgrades, using the following ordering information. The kits include two cages for use depending on your PCIe slot configuration. The cages are for either Riser 1 or Riser 2. The part numbers also include the cables necessary to connect the 7mm backplane to either the system board (non-RAID) or RAID adapter.
RAID support: The 7mm Enablement Kit part numbers below do not include the RAID adapter needed for 7mm RAID support. 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.

‡ These custom form factor (CFF) adapters are 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)
Configuration notes:
- Supercap support limits the number of RAID adapters installable: The table lists whether the adapter includes a power module (supercap) to power the flash memory. The server supports between 1 and 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. 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 AMD processor
- JBOD only; no RAID support
- Supports up to 20 SATA drives in the SR665 V3 (16 with one processor)
- 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
- No support for RAID

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.
| 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 SR665 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.
Figure 14. SR665 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.

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:
- Riser 3 is not supported with the M.2 adapter
- Front PCIe slots (planned for 2Q/2023) are not supported with the M.2 adapter
- 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

https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1288#sr665-v3-support=SR665%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.

For CTO orders, the SR665 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.
| Part number | Feature code | Description |

| CTO only | BW40 | ThinkSystem NVIDIA A4500 GPU-Ready Installation |
| CTO only | BVLL | ThinkSystem NVIDIA H100 GPU-Ready Installation |
| CTO only | BP4X | ThinkSystem DW GPU-Ready Installation (for all other supported DW GPUs) |
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
- GPUs are not supported with CPUs with a TDP of more than 300W
For additional requirements related to GPUs, see the GPU Configuration section of the Thermal Rules page in the Information Center:

GPU cable kits
The following cable kits are offered to provide auxiliary power cables for GPUs that require one. See the Supported GPUs table 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 SR665 V3 GPU Full Length Thermal Option Kit, 4X67A85856 instead, since the Enablement Kit includes the necessary power cables.
- The SW (single-wide) cable kit is required if you are doing any field upgrades to add a single-wide GPU that requires an auxiliary power cable (GPU power > 75 W), however, all currently supported GPUs do not require auxiliary power cables.

The SR665 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 20K RPM).
Under all of the following conditions, standard fans can be used:
- CPUs have a TDP < 240W
- No GPUs
- No Mellanox ConnectX-6 or ConnectX-7 adapters
- No Broadcom 57454 10GBASE-T 4-port OCP adapter
- No 3DS RDIMMs
- No front 12x 3.5-inch drive bays

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.
Figure 18. 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 SR665 V3 contains an integrated service processor, XClarity Controller 2 (XCC), 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 SR665 V3 implements a separate System I/O Board that connects to the Processor Board. The location of the System I/O Board (also known as the Rear I/O Board in DCSC) 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.
Figure 19. System I/O Board
The board also has the following components:
- Root of Trust (RoT) module - an optional 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 conjuction with the ThinkSystem Redundant System Management Port Adapter. 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.

| 4X77A77064 | BNWP | ThinkSystem MicroSD 32GB Class 10 Flash Memory Card |
Local management
The SR665 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.
Figure 20. 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.
To configure either the VGA port or the External Diagnostics port at the front of the server, select one of the following feature codes when configuring the server.

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 SR665 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 SR665 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).
| 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.
