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 SE360 V2:

• 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 SE360 V2 implements RAID levels 0 and 1. RAID 1 is limited to 2 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. On the SE360 V2, it implements RAID levels 0, 1. RAID 1 is limited to 2 drives per array. Hot-spare functionality is also supported.

The following options are available as follows:

• VROC NVMe RAID on the SE350 V2 by default is disabled and does not support NVMe RAID. In configurator selecting "none" would mean default, same as JBOD. 
• Selecting VROC Standard, feature code BS7M to support RAID-0/1/10.
• Selecting VROC Premium, feature code BS7N to support RAID-0/1.

VROC Standard or Premium are fulfilled as a Feature on Demand (FoD) license and is activated via the XCC management processor user interface.

VROC Premium is only needed on the SE360 V2 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 with NVMe drives, you do not need VROC Premium.

The following table lists the supported drive options.

•  7mm drive bays:
  • 7mm 2.5-inch hot-swap 6 Gb SATA SSDs
• M.2 drives for boot:

The network ports on the front of the SE360 V2 are provided by a Network Module, a board that plugs into the system board by a dedicated connector. See the Internal view for the location of the cable. The Network Modules are listed in the following table.

The Network Modules have the following characteristics:

• 1GbE I/O module board
  • Two USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A connectors
  • USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C connector (for display)
  • USB 2.0 Gen 1 Type-C connector with Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) management
  • One XCC system management port (1GbE RJ-45)
  • Four 1GbE RJ-45 connectors (LAN 3 to 6). LAN 6 with shared-NIC feature for Lenovo XClarity Controller
  • Two 2.5GbE RJ-45 connectors
  • Note:
    • 2.5Gb RJ45 ports support 100Mbps data transfer, but link speed LED keep dark, do not support 10Mbps. 
    • 1Gb RJ45 port support 100M bps if link peer does not force speed on 100Mbps since Icelake D doesn’t support 100M half-duplex and link LED is always green status, while ACT LED keeps green and wont blinking when transferring data; do not support 10Mbps

The 1GbE I/O network module is shown in the following figure.

Figure 10. Ports of the available 1GbE I/O network module

The block diagrams of the Network Modules are shown in the System architecture section.

The RJ45 ports of the Network Modules support the following Category 6 (CAT 6) cables.

The following table lists additional supported GPUs that can be installed in the PCIe slot when the PCIe Riser (feature BS5J) 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:

ATTENTION:

Airborne particulates and reactive gases acting alone or in combination with other environmental factors such as humidity or temperature might pose a risk to the server. For information about the limits for particulates and gases, see the following: 
 

Particulate contamination

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. Lenovo ARS is a cash-back solution for equipment based on its remaining market value, yielding maximum value from aging assets and lowering total cost of ownership for your customers. 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.
