Hardware features

The ThinkAgile HX645 V3 Integrated Systems and Certified Nodes systems are based on the ThinkSystem SR645 V3 and have the following hardware features:

Scalability and performance

The appliance and certified node offer numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability and reduce costs:

  • Supports one or two fourth-generation AMD EPYC 9004 processors
    • Up to 96 cores and 192 threads
    • Core speed of up to 3.6 GHz
    • TDP rating of up to 360 W
  • Support for DDR5 memory DIMMs to maximize the performance of the memory subsystem:
    • Up to 24 DDR5 memory DIMMs, 12 DIMMs per processor
    • 12 memory channels per processor (1 DIMM per channel)
    • DIMM speeds up to 4800 MHz
    • Using 256GB 3DS RDIMMs, the server supports up to 6TB of system memory
  • Support up to 12x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays, by using combinations of front-accessible (up to 10 bays) and rear-accessible (2 bays).
  • Supports 4x NVMe drives without the need for additional NVMe adapters and without oversubscription of PCIe lanes (1:1 connectivity). The use of NVMe drives maximizes drive I/O performance, in terms of throughput, bandwidth, and latency
  • Supports M.2 drives for convenient operating system boot functions or data storage. Available M.2 adapters support two M.2 drives with a RAID adapter installed in a slot.
  • The systems have a dedicated industry standard OCP 3.0 small form factor (SFF) slot, with a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, supporting a variety of Ethernet network adapters. Simple-swap mechanism with thumbscrews and pull-tab enables tool-less installation and removal of the adapter. Supports shared BMC network sideband connectivity to enable out-of-band systems management.
  • The server offers PCI Express 5.0 (PCIe Gen 5) I/O expansion capabilities that doubles the theoretical maximum bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 (32GT/s in each direction for PCIe 5.0, compared to 16 GT/s with PCIe 4.0). A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot provides 128 GB/s bandwidth, enough to support a 400GbE network connection.
  • Up to three PCIe 5.0 slots, all with rear access, plus an internal bay for a cabled RAID adapter or HBA, plus a slot dedicated to the OCP adapter.

The systems provide many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:

  • The HX645 V3 uses ECC memory and supports memory RAS features including Single Device Data Correction (SDDC, also known as Chipkill), Patrol/Demand Scrubbing, Bounded Fault, DRAM Address Command Parity with Replay, DRAM Uncorrected ECC Error Retry, On-die ECC, ECC Error Check and Scrub (ECS), and Post Package Repair.
  • M.2 configuration with RAID support which can enable two SATA M.2 drives to be configured as a redundant pair
  • The systems have two hot-swap redundant power supplies and up to eight hot-swap redundant fans to provide availability for business-critical applications.
  • The power-source-independent light path diagnostics uses LEDs to lead the technician to failed (or failing) components, which simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve system availability.
  • Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer more reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for greater uptime.
  • Proactive Platform Alerts (including PFA and SMART alerts): Processors, voltage regulators, memory, internal storage (SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs, NVMe SSDs, M.2 storage, flash storage adapters), fans, power supplies, server ambient and subcomponent temperatures. Alerts can be surfaced through the XClarity Controller to managers such as Lenovo XClarity Administrator, VMware vCenter, and Nutanix Prism. These proactive alerts let you take appropriate actions in advance of possible failure, thereby increasing server uptime and application availability.
  • The built-in XClarity Controller 2 continuously monitors system parameters, triggers alerts, and performs recovery actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.
  • Offer a diagnostics port on the front of the server to allow you to attach an external diagnostics handset for enhanced systems management capabilities.

Manageability and security

Systems management features simplify local and remote management:

  • The server includes an XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2) to monitor server availability. Included upgrade to XCC Platinum to provide remote control (keyboard video mouse) functions, support for the mounting of remote media files, FIPS 140-3 security, enhanced NIST 800-193 support, boot capture, power capping, and other management and security features.
  • Lenovo XClarity Administrator offers comprehensive hardware management tools that help to increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities.
  • Support for Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager which captures real-time power and temperature data from the server and provides automated controls to lower energy costs.
  • An integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup, configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
  • Administrator and power-on passwords help protect from unauthorized access to the server.
  • Support AMD Secure Root-of-Trust, Secure Run and Secure Move features to minimize potential attacks and protect data as the OS is booted, as applications are run and as applications are migrated from server to server.
  • Industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) NI support for faster, stronger encryption.
  • Additional physical security features are a chassis intrusion switch (standard in all models) and a lockable front bezel (optional).
