The following table lists additional supported GPUs that can be installed in the PCIe slot when the PCIe Riser (feature BS5J, BS5F, BS5D, BS5E, or BS5G) is selected.

Configuration notes:

• Some NVIDIA A Series GPUs are available as two feature codes, one with a CEC chip and one without a CEC chip (ones without the CEC chip have "w/o CEC" in the name). The CEC is a secondary Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) module that provides an additional layer of security, which can be used by customers who have high regulatory requirements or high security standards. NVIDIA uses a multi-layered security model and hence the protection offered by the primary Root of Trust embedded in the GPU is expected to be sufficient for most customers. The CEC defeatured products still offer Secure Boot, Secure Firmware Update, Firmware Rollback Protection, and In-Band Firmware Update Disable. Specifically, without the CEC chip, the GPU does not support Key Revocation or Firmware Attestation. CEC and non-CEC GPUs of the same type of GPU can be mixed in field upgrades.

For information about the GPU, see the ThinkSystem GPU Summary, available at:

System Lockdown Mode

System Lockdown Mode is an optional security feature of the SE360 V2 that ensures that the system is only used by its intended recipient and that all data and applications remains secure.

System Lockdown Mode is an optional feature that can be remotely managed in two ways:

• ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed. This provides a centralised remote management approach, allowing the administrator to remotely managed multiple systems and to register ownership of systems to their company, which reduces the system’s value is stolen.
• XClarity Controller Managed. This provides remote management level control to an individual system using XCC web interface, OneCLI or Redfish.

To select ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed in factory orders, select feature BYBR, as listed in the following table. The default in DCSC is to select XClarity Controller Managed, feature BYBQ.

If System Lockdown is enabled in the factory, the system will be delivered in system lockdown mode and will require activation before operation. There are three ways the server can be activated:

• Using a mobile device (iOS or Android) connect to the server to the USB management port on the front of the server and running the ThinkShield Edge Mobile Management app.
• Connecting the system to the Internet via the XCC management port on the front of the server and accessing the ThinkShield Key Vault Portal from a web browser on another system.
• In a disconnected mode, where neither a mobile device or an internet connection to the SE360 V2 are available.

For more information, see ThinkEdge Security, available from:
https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1725-thinkedge-security

The SE360 V2 offers a Security LED that indicates the status of the server:

• LED on: Security is enabled; System is operational.
• LED blinking: Security is enabled and the server is in lockdown, either due to being delivered from the factory in lockdown mode or has entered lockdown as a result of a tamper event. System must be activated or reactivated before becoming operational.
• LED off: Security is disabled; System is operational.

SED encryption in factory orders

The SE360 V2 also optionally supports enabling SED drive encryption in the factory using feature BYBS as listed in the following table. This feature enables SED on the selected drives and sets and SED Authentication Key (SED AK).

System Guard

The System Guard feature takes a snapshot of the hardware component inventory as trusted reference, then monitors for any deviation from the reference snapshot. 

When deviation occurs, it can report an event to the user, optionally, can also prevent the server from booting into the OS and prompt the user for response.

• System Guard is only enabled with XCC2 on V3 code 
• Server supports this feature (BUT2) when XCC Platinum enabled only.
• The System Guard feature is disabled by default

System Guard is a feature of XCC Platinum. Sytem Guard (BUT2) should only be selectable if XCC Platinum (BRPJ) is selected.

Geotracking module

Geotracking module is an Airgain device so customers need to check on Airgain website on which countries they can sell to before purchasing, buy it and get service support from vendor directly.

• Lenovo user guide will provide guide for how to install the module
• Lenovo XClarity won’t manage this Airgain module for privacy data consideration 
• All Geotracking privacy data won’t be managed by Lenovo, it is the deal and agreement between customers and Airgain

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 ThinkEdge SE360 V2 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 SE360 V2 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).

The SE360 V2 is designed to be used in a variety of locations - table top - and on other mounting options.

In this section:

• Mounting components
• Desktop mount 
• Wall or ceiling mount 
• Short-depth 2U rack installation 

For additional information on desktop or stand alone mounting option refer to the following section.

Mounting components

Many of the mounting options share the same components.

Node sleeve

The node sleeve, shown below, holds the SE360 V2 server when mounted on the wall. The server is then slid into the node sleeve and secured with additional thumbscrews.

Figure 26. Node sleeve

Security bezel

The security bezel is an optional component that mounts on the front of the node sleeve to help prevent physical access to the front components of the server. The bezel includes a lock-and-key mechanism for security. The bezel and filter help cover the PCIe slot area and the network area to reduce the dust that can enter the server through the front air holes.

Security bezel can prevent LAN cable plug or unplug after installed in node sleeve.

Attention: Airborne particulates (including metal flakes or particles) and reactive gases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the device that is described in this document.

Risks that are posed by the presence of excessive particulate levels or concentrations of harmful gases include damage that might cause the device to malfunction or cease functioning altogether. This specification sets forth limits for particulates and gases that are intended to avoid such damage. The limits must not be viewed or used as definitive limits, because numerous other factors, such as temperature or moisture content of the air, can influence the impact of particulates or environmental corrosives and gaseous contaminant transfer. In the absence of specific limits that are set forth in this document, you must implement practices that maintain particulate and gas levels that are consistent with the protection of human health and safety. If Lenovo determines that the levels of particulates or gases in your environment have caused damage to the device, Lenovo may condition provision of repair or replacement of devices or parts on implementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination. Implementation of such remedial measures is a customer responsibility.

Examples of region-specific warranty terms are second or longer business day parts delivery or parts-only base warranty.

If warranty terms and conditions include onsite labor for repair or replacement of parts, Lenovo will dispatch a service technician to the customer site to perform the replacement. Onsite labor under base warranty is limited to labor for replacement of parts that have been determined to be field-replaceable units (FRUs). Parts that are determined to be customer-replaceable units (CRUs) do not include onsite labor under base warranty.

If warranty terms include parts-only base warranty, Lenovo is responsible for delivering only replacement parts that are under base warranty (including FRUs) that will be sent to a requested location for self-service. Parts-only service does not include a service technician being dispatched onsite. Parts must be changed at customer’s own cost and labor and defective parts must be returned following the instructions supplied with the spare parts.

Lenovo Services is a dedicated partner to your success. Our goal is to reduce your capital outlays, mitigate your IT risks, and accelerate your time to productivity.

Here’s a more in-depth look at what we can do for you:

• Asset Recovery Services

  Asset Recovery Services (ARS) helps customers recover the maximum value from their end-of-life equipment in a cost-effective and secure way. On top of simplifying the transition from old to new equipment, ARS mitigates environmental and data security risks associated with data center equipment disposal.

For more information, see the ARS page, https://lenovopress.com/lp1266-reduce-e-waste-and-grow-your-bottom-line-with-lenovo-ars.

• Assessment Services

  An Assessment helps solve your IT challenges through an onsite, multi-day session with a Lenovo technology expert. We perform a tools-based assessment which provides a comprehensive and thorough review of a company's environment and technology systems. In addition to the technology based functional requirements, the consultant also discusses and records the non-functional business requirements, challenges, and constraints. Assessments help organizations like yours, no matter how large or small, get a better return on your IT investment and overcome challenges in the ever-changing technology landscape.

• Design Services

  Professional Services consultants perform infrastructure design and implementation planning to support your strategy. The high-level architectures provided by the assessment service are turned into low level designs and wiring diagrams, which are reviewed and approved prior to implementation. The implementation plan will demonstrate an outcome-based proposal to provide business capabilities through infrastructure with a risk-mitigated project plan.

• Basic Hardware Installation

  Lenovo experts can seamlessly manage the physical installation of your server, storage, or networking hardware. Working at a time convenient for you (business hours or off shift), the technician will unpack and inspect the systems on your site, install options, mount in a rack cabinet, connect to power and network, check and update firmware to the latest levels, verify operation, and dispose of the packaging, allowing your team to focus on other priorities.

• Deployment Services

  When investing in new IT infrastructures, you need to ensure your business will see quick time to value with little to no disruption. Lenovo deployments are designed by development and engineering teams who know our Products & Solutions better than anyone else, and our technicians own the process from delivery to completion. Lenovo will conduct remote preparation and planning, configure & integrate systems, validate systems, verify and update appliance firmware, train on administrative tasks, and provide post-deployment documentation. Customer’s IT teams leverage our skills to enable IT staff to transform with higher level roles and tasks.

• Integration, Migration, and Expansion Services

  Move existing physical & virtual workloads easily, or determine technical requirements to support increased workloads while maximizing performance. Includes tuning, validation, and documenting ongoing run processes. Leverage migration assessment planning documents to perform necessary migrations.
