Processor features

Processors supported by the SD520 V4 include embedded accelerators to add even more processing capability:

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

The processors also support a separate and encrypted memory space, known as the SGX Enclave, for use by Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX). The size of the SGX Enclave supported varies by processor model. Intel SGX offers hardware-based memory encryption that isolates specific application code and data in memory. It allows user-level code to allocate private regions of memory (enclaves) which are designed to be protected from processes running at higher privilege levels.

  • Lower memory capacity
  • Lower processor TDP

For details, see the Ambient temperature requirements section.

UEFI operating modes

The SD520 V4 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 8. UEFI operating mode presets in DCSC
Feature code Description
C3JB General Computing - Power Efficiency (default)
C3JA General Computing - Peak Frequency
C3J9 General Computing - Max Performance
C3J8 High Performance Computing (HPC)

The preset modes for the SD520 V4 are as follows:

  • General Computing - Power Efficiency (feature C3JB): This workload profile optimizes the performance per watt efficiency with a bias towards performance. This workload profile is analogous to “Efficiency – Favor Performance” operating mode on ThinkSystem V3 servers. This profile contains settings for ENERGY STAR® and ERP Lot9 compliance.
  • General Computing - Peak Frequency (feature C3JA): This workload profile is defined by the requirement to drive the highest core frequencies out of a processor across a subset of cores available – not for all cores active. This workload profile benefits workloads requiring either high per core and / or overall CPU package frequency. These workloads may have variable resource demands, are relatively insensitive to overall platform latency, and are generally CPU clock constrained. Tuning a system for highest possible core frequency may mean allowing inactive cores to transfer in and out of sleep states (C-states), which allows active cores to run at higher frequency for different durations of time. Allowing cores to go into low power states allows for higher per core frequency but can introduce “jitter” in the systems clock frequency.
  • General Computing - Max Performance (feature C3J9): This workload profile maximizes the absolute performance of the system without regard for power savings. Power savings features are disabled. This operating mode should be used when an application can sustain work across all cores simultaneously and is Non-uniform Memory Access (NUMA) aware.
  • High Performance Computing (HPC) (feature C3J8): This profile is for customers running large-scale scientific and engineering workloads. These environments tend to be clustered environments where each node performs at maximum utilization for extended periods of time, and the application is Non-uniform Memory Access (NUMA) aware.

Memory

The SD520 V4 uses Lenovo TruDDR5 memory operating at up to 6400 MHz. The server supports 8 DIMMs, each connected to its own memory channel to the processor (1 DIMM per channel). The server currently supports up to 512GB of memory using 8x 64GB RDIMMs.

With 6th Gen Intel Xeon processors, DIMMs operate at up to 6400 MHz, up to the memory bus speed of the processor selected. See the Processor features section for specifics.

CXL memory support: Support for CXL memory is planned for 1Q/2025, both on the Intel Xeon 6700 E-core processors and future Intel Xeon 6 processors.

MCRDIMM memory support: Support for MCRDIMM memory (also known as MRDIMMs) is planned for 1Q/2025 however only with future Intel Xeon 6 processors, not with the Intel Xeon 6700 E-core processors.

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.

The following table lists the 6400 MHz memory options that are currently supported by the SD520 V4.

* The part numbers are for field upgrades and enable Intel VROC on all installed drives, not just M.2

Configuration notes:

  • Only NVMe drives are supported
  • M.2 drives with 2280 or 22110 form factors are supported
  • The M.2 drives require a heatsink which is included with the supported drives

M.2 adapter (NVMe or SATA drives)

The supported M.2 adapter is listed in the following table.

Part number Feature code Description Drive type RAID
4Y37A93746 C26V ThinkSystem M.2 RAID B545i-2i SATA/NVMe Adapter NVMe or SATA RAID 0, 1 (Broadcom)

Configurations rules:

  • If two drives are installed on the M.2 adapter, they can be either both SATA or both NVMe; mixing is not supported between these two drives
  • M.2 drives with 2242, 2260, 2280 form factors are supported
  • The M.2 adapter is installed in the same physical space as the supercap for the RAID 940-8i adapter. The M.2 adapter and RAID 940-8i adapter are therefore mutually exclusive.

For field upgrades to add the M.2 adapter, in addition to the M.2 adapter itself, you will also need to order the cable kit listed in the following table.

Controllers for internal storage

The SD520 V4 currently supports NVMe drives for maximum performance. Drives are directly connected to the processor using onboard PCIe 5.0 connectors. Each drive has a PCIe 5.0 x4 host interface.

SAS and SATA drive support is planned for 1Q/2025 with the use of a SAS/SATA RAID adapter or HBA.

The onboard NVMe support has the following features:

  • Controller integrated into the Intel processor
  • Each drive has PCIe 5.0 x4 host interface
  • Supports JBOD - Intel and non-Intel NVMe SSDs - no license required
  • Optionally supports RAID using Intel VROC NVMe RAID. See the Intel VROC section for ordering information.

The server also supports M.2 drives for additional storage or OS boot functions. See the M.2 drives section for details.

Intel VROC onboard RAID

Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) is a feature of the Intel processor that enables Integrated RAID support.

On the SD520 V4, Intel VROC provides RAID functions for the onboard NVMe controller (Intel VROC NVMe RAID).

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 SD520 V4, RAID levels implemented are based on the VROC feature selected as indicated in the following table. 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.

The SD520 V4 supports the VROC NVMe RAID offerings listed in the following table.

Configuration notes:

  • If a feature code is ordered in a CTO build, the VROC functionality is enabled in the factory. For field upgrades, order a part number and it will be fulfilled as a Feature on Demand (FoD) license which can then be activated via the XCC management processor user interface.

Virtualization support: Virtualization support for Intel VROC is as follows:

  • 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. On ESXi, VROC is supported with both boot and data drives.

C4BM ThinkSystem SD520 V4 High Performance Fans

In addition to the system fans, each power supply has its own integrated fan.

Power supplies

The D3 V2 Chassis supports three redundant hot-swap power supplies. The power supply choices are listed in the following table.

Supported power supply configurations are the following, depending on the installed components:

  • 3x power supplies: 2+1 without over-subscription (1 power supply is redundant)
  • 3x power supplies: 2+1 with over-subscription (1 power supply is redundant; over-subscription requires a CRPS Premium power supply)
  • 2x power supplies: 1+1 without over-subscription (1 power supply is redundant)
  • 2x power supplies: 1+1 with over-subscription (1 power supply is redundant; over-subscription requires a CRPS Premium power supply)
  • 1x power supply: No redundancy, without over-subscription (only supported with certain power supplies - see the Quantity column in the table)

Power management is managed by the XCC service processor in one of the servers installed in the chassis (referred to as the "master node"). Management tasks include power supply sensor and fault reading, power policy, throttling in the event of a power supply failure, and power supply firmware updates. If the master node goes offline, another node in the chassis will automatically take on this role.

Tip: When configuring a server in the DCSC configurator, power consumption is calculated precisely by interfacing with Lenovo Capacity Planner. You can therefore select the appropriate power supply for your configuration. However, do consider future upgrades that may require additional power needs.

The 230V/115V AC power supplies support both low-range (100-127V 50/60 Hz) and high-range (200-240V 50/60 Hz) power. For China customers, all power supplies support 240V DC.

Configuration rules:

  • All power supplies used in a chassis must be identical part numbers.
  • Power supply options do not include a line cord. Configure-to-order models can be configured with or without power cords.

The D3 V2 Chassis supports both CRPS and CRPS Premium power supplies. CRPS Premium power supplies offer the following additional features:

  • Over-subscription
  • More accurate power metering
  • Virtual reseat
  • Enhanced fault detection
  • System cooling assist (fan override)
  • Fault LEDs
  • VPD support

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.

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 SD520 V4 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 SD520 V4 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).

Table 35. Secure Boot options
Part number Feature code Description Purpose
CTO only BPKQ TPM 2.0 with Secure 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.
