Did you know?
The NeXtScale System is built with industry-standard components to create flexible configurations of servers, chassis, and networking switches that integrate easily in a standard 19-inch rack. It is a general-purpose platform that provides flexibility to clients for creating unique and differentiated solutions using off-the-shelf components. Front-access cabling enables you to quickly and easily make changes in networking, power connections, and storage. The nx360 M5 and n1200 enclosure are also available in direct-water cooled configurations for the ultimate in data center cooling efficiencies.
Key features
The NeXtScale System M5 is the next generation dense platform from the System x® product line, following on from the NeXtScale System M4 offering and its predecessor, iDataPlex®. The NeXtScale system includes a dense chassis, half wide compute nodes, plus storage and GPU nodes, all fitting within a standard rack footprint. With M5, Lenovo extends the feature set to drive further growth in High Performance Computing and also to reach even more segments and workloads requiring dense performance, such as Cloud, Grid, and Analytics.
Designed with industry-standard, off-the-shelf components, the NeXtScale System is a general-purpose platform that is designed to give customers a flexible IT infrastructure. The offering includes compute-intensive systems, and GPU offerings and storage offerings. Customized solutions can be configured to provide an application-appropriate platform with a choice of servers, networking switches, adapters, and racks.
This modular system is designed to scale and grow with data center needs to protect and maximize IT investments. Because it is optimized for standard racks, users can easily mix high-density NeXtScale server offerings and non-NeXtScale components within the same rack. NeXtScale System also provides tremendous time to value by enabling users to set up and start it in a shorter period.
The NeXtScale nx360 M5 server provides a dense, flexible solution with a low total cost of ownership (TCO). The half-wide, dual-socket NeXtScale nx360 M5 server is designed for data centers that require high performance but are constrained by floor space. By taking up less physical space in the data center, the NeXtScale server enhances density, and it supports the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 v3 series up to 145 W and 18-core processors, thus providing more performance per server. The nx360 M5 compute node contains only essential components in the base architecture to provide a cost-optimized platform.
The nx360 M5 also supports additional expansion options in the form of trays that attach to the top of the server. The PCIe Native Expansion Tray can be added to the nx360 M5 to form a powerful compute engine, supporting two GPU or coprocessor adapters. Also offered is the Storage Native Expansion Tray, which can be added to the nx360 M5 to form a storage-dense server supporting up to 48 TB of local SAS-attached storage.
The NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure is an efficient, 6U, 12-node chassis with no built-in networking or switching capabilities, and therefore requires no chassis-level management. Sensibly designed to provide shared, high-efficiency power and cooling for housed servers, the n1200 enclosure is designed to scale with your business needs.
The NeXtScale nx360 M5 is also available as a warm-water-cooled server for the ultimate in energy efficiency, cooling, noise, and TCO.

* Withdrawn from marketing
The chassis ships with these items:
- Rail kit (88Y6763)
- Four detachable chassis lift handles
- One Console breakout cable (also known as a KVM Dongle)
- A Torx-8 (T8) screwdriver for use with components such as drive cages, mounted on the rear of the chassis
- One AC power cord for each power supply that is installed, 1.5m 10A, IEC320 C14 to C13 (part number 39Y7937)
The n1200 provides a shared high-efficiency power supply and fans. Like BladeCenter® and Flex System®, the NeXtScale System compute nodes connect to a midplane, but this connection is for power and control only; the midplane does not provide any I/O connectivity.
NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure support
The NeXtScale nx360 M5 is supported in all models of the NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure listed in the Standard enclosure models table. The number of servers that are supported in each chassis depends on the TDP value of the processors that are used in the servers, the number and capacity of power supplies installed (1300 W or 900 W), and the AC input voltage (100 - 127 V or 200 - 240 V). The following tables use the following conventions:
- A green cell means that the chassis can be filled with servers up to the maximum number that are supported in the chassis (for example, 12 servers without GPU Trays installed, six servers with GPU Trays installed).
- A yellow cell means that the maximum number of servers that the chassis can hold is fewer than the total available bays. Other bays in the chassis must remain empty.
Notes on the tables:
- OVS (Oversubscription) of the power system allows for more efficient use of the available system power. By using oversubscription, users can make the most of the extra power from the redundant power supplies when the power supplies are in healthy condition.
- Oversubscription and Power supply redundancy options are set through one of the available user interfaces to the Fan and Power Controller in the chassis.
- Use the Power Configurator to determine an accurate power model for your configuration, however for 110-120 V AC configurations using the 900 W power supplies, consult Table 24 below for supported numbers of compute nodes.
https://ibm.com/support/entry/portal/docdisplay?lndocid=LNVO-PWRCONF - Some cells indicate two numbers (for example “5 + 1”). This indicates support for a mixture of servers with and without the GPU Tray:
- First number: Number of servers with a GPU Tray attached and two GPUs installed
- Second number: Number of servers without a GPU Tray attached.
For example, “5 + 1” means that the supported combination is five servers with the GPU Tray attached (consuming 10 bays in the chassis), plus one server without a GPU Tray attached (one bay). In such a configuration, 11 bays are consumed and the one remaining server bay in the chassis must remain empty. - The tables are as follows:

Memory options
TruDDR4 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 on every System x server to maximize performance and reliability. TruDDR4 Memory has a unique signature that is programmed into the DIMM that enables System x servers to verify whether the memory installed is qualified/supported by Lenovo. Because TruDDR4 Memory is authenticated, certain extended memory performance features can be enabled to extend performance over industry standards. From a service and support standpoint, memory automatically assumes the Lenovo system warranty, and Lenovo provides service and support worldwide.
The NeXtScale nx360 M5 supports up to eight TruDDR4 Memory DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 16x DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has four memory channels, and there are two DIMMs per memory channel (2 DPC). RDIMMs and LRDIMMs are supported, but the mixing of these different types is not supported. UDIMMs are not supported.
The following table lists the memory options that are available for the nx360 M5 server.

Ordering information is listed in the following table.
Table 29. Ordering information
Part number | Feature code | Description |
00KG601 | ASGR | NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray |
When the NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is used, one of the following disk controller adapters must be installed in the front PCIe slot (slot 1) in the nx360 M5:
- ServeRAID M5210 SAS/SATA Controller for System x, 46C9110
- ServeRAID M1215 SAS/SATA Controller for System x, 46C9114
- N2215 SAS/SATA HBA for System x, 47C8675
No additional PCIe adapter is allowed for selection. The ML2 slot is still available.
Internal storage
The NeXtScale nx360 M5 server supports the following drives:
Internal drives:
- One 3.5-inch simple-swap HDD, or
- Four 2.5-inch HDDs or SSDs (two simple-swap and two hot-swap), or
Note: The server supports four 1.8-inch simple-swap SSDs, however all 1.8-inch drives are now withdrawn from marketing.
In addition, with optional expansion trays:
- Seven additional 3.5-inch simple-swap HDDs with the use of the NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray, or
- Four additional 2.5-inch hot-swap HDDs or SSDs with the use of the PCIe 2U Native Expansion Tray
Internal simple-swap drives
The NeXtScale nx360 M5 server supports the following internal drives to be installed at the rear of the server:
- Up to one 3.5-inch simple-swap HDD, or
- Up to two 2.5-inch simple-swap HDDs or SSDs
Use of 3.5-inch SAS and NL SAS drives: A 3.5-inch SAS and NL SAS drive is supported installed internally to the server only when the NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is used. Without the NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray, the only 3.5-inch drives supported in the server are SATA or NL SATA drives.
Use of 2.5-inch SAS and NL SAS drives: 2.5-inch SAS drives are not supported in the internal (non-hot-swap) drive bays of the server if the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is attached.
The following figure shows the two available variations (1.8-inch drives are now withdrawn). These drives are installed internally in the server; to replace them the server must be powered down and removed from the n1200 enclosure.
Figure 7. Drive bay options
These internal drives are installed in a drive cage. Ordering information for these drive cages are listed in the following table.
Part number | Feature code | Description | Models where used |
00KA895 | A5V3 | nx360 M5 1.8" Rear Drive Cage | - |
00KA894 | A5V2 | nx360 M5 2.5" Rear Drive Cage | 62x |
00FL465 | A5K1 | nx360 M5 3.5" Rear Drive Cage | 22x, 42x |
00KG603 | ASGS | nx360 3.5" HDD8 Cage - HW RAID* | - |
* This single 3.5-inch drive cage is installed in the nx360 M5 when you have the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray attached and want to configure all eight 3.5-inch drives as one RAID array using separate RAID adapter.
Hot-swap drives
In addition, if the internal drives are 2.5-inch drive bays (or if no internal drive bay is selected), then the server also supports two additional 2.5-inch drive bays. These are front accessible and are hot-swap drive bays. These hot-swap drive bays take the place of the full-height PCIe slot, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 8. NeXtScale nx360 M5 configurations - hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays or full-height PCIe slot
The following table shows the ordering information for the two 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays.

Note: Neither the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray nor the PCIe 2U Native Expansion Tray can be used with the nx360 M5 2.5” Front Hot Swap Drive Cage
NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray
In addition to the drive bays internal to the server, the nx360 M5 supports seven additional 3.5-inch drive bays if the NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is attached. The 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray can be used with any of the above four bay configurations to provide the following internal drive combinations:
- Up to eight 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA, NL SATA or NL SAS drives
- Up to seven 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA, NL SATA or NL SAS drives and two 2.5-inch simple-swap SATA drives
- Up to seven 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA, NL SATA or NL SAS drives and four 1.8-inch simple-swap SATA SSDs
Drives that are used in the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray do not need a cage.
There are two 3.5-inch drive cages (part numbers 00FL465 and 00KG603 in the last two rows of Table 30). If the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is attached to the nx360 M5, then the usage of the RAID cage (feature ASGS, option 00KG603) allows you to configure a RAID array that spans all eight drives, that is, the seven in the storage tray and the one drive internal to the nx360 M5. Such a configuration is connected either to a RAID adapter or SAS HBA; the usage of the internal SATA ports is not supported with this RAID cage.
If the 3.5-inch HDD cage (feature A5K1) is used, then a RAID array can be formed only with the seven drives in the storage tray. In such a configuration, the drives in the storage tray are connected either to RAID adapter or SAS HBA, and the single drive in the nx360 M5 is connected to an onboard SATA port.
These use of the storage tray requires a RAID controller or SAS HBA installed in the PCIe slot at the front of the server. The use a controller installed in the dedicated RAID slot at the rear of the server is not supported.
NeXtScale PCIe 2U Native Expansion Tray
As an alternative to the Storage Native Expansion Tray, the PCIe 2U Native Expansion Tray offers up to 4 additional 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays beyond the bays internal to the server. The following drive combinations are supported:
- One 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA, NL SATA or NL SAS drive (internal) and up to four 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drives (expansion tray)
- Two 2.5-inch simple-swap SATA drives (internal) and up to four 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drives (expansion tray)
- Four 1.8-inch simple-swap SATA SSDs (internal) and up to four 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drives (expansion tray)
The use of the four 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays in the expansion tray require an optional backplane as listed in the following table.
Table 32. Backplane for the hot-swap drive bays in the PCIe 2U Native Expansion Tray
Part number | Feature code | Description | Models where used |
44X4104 | A4A6 | 4x 2.5" HDD Riser (Backplane and SAS cable) | - |
These drive bays in the require a RAID controller or SAS HBA installed in the dedicated RAID slot at rear of the server.
For more information see the section NeXtScale PCIe 2U Native Expansion Tray.
Controllers for internal storage
The onboard SATA controller (integrated into the Intel C612 chipset) supports any of the following drive configurations:
- One 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA or NL SATA drive
- Up to two 2.5-inch simple-swap NL SATA drives
- Up to four 1.8-inch SATA Enterprise Value SSDs
The following drive combinations may be used instead with a RAID controller or SAS/SATA HBA that is installed in the internal RAID adapter riser slot:
- Up to two 2.5-inch simple-swap NL SATA drives
- Up to four 1.8-inch SATA Enterprise Value SSDs
Any of the following drive configurations require a RAID controller or SAS/SATA HBA that is installed in the internal RAID adapter riser slot:
- A 3.5-inch SAS or NL SAS simple-swap drive installed in the server
- Up to two 2.5-inch simple-swap SAS drives
- Up to two 2.5-inch hot-swap drives (installed in the front drive bays)
- Up to two 2.5-inch simple-swap SAS drives plus up to four 2.5-inch hot-swap drives installed in the PCIe 2U Native Expansion Tray.
The supported RAID controller or SAS/SATA host bus adapter is installed in a dedicated RAID adapter slot, through a riser card, at the rear of the server that is adjacent to the internal drive bays. Installation of the adapter is shown in the following figure.
Figure 9. RAID controller and RAID riser card installation
When the NeXtScale 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is used, the RAID controller or SAS/SATA host bus adapter must be installed in the front PCIe slot (slot 1) in the nx360 M5. The installed drives are connected as follows:
- The 3.5-inch drives in the storage tray are connected to the RAID controller or HBA
- If any 1.8-inch or 2.5-inch simple-swap drives are installed in the server, they are connected to the onboard SATA controller
- If a 3.5-inch SATA or NL SATA drive is installed in the server, it may be either connected to the on board SATA controller or to the RAID controller or HBA.
- If a 3.5-inch SAS or NL SAS drive is installed in the server, it is connected to the RAID controller or HBA
The following table lists the RAID controllers and HBAs that are used for internal disk storage of the nx360 M5 server and the Riser card that is needed to install the adapter.

Internal drive options
The following tables list hard disk drive options for the internal disk storage of the nx360 M5 server. Here are relevant configuration rules:
- As described in the Internal storage section, the server supports multiple drive form factors:
- Internal simple-swap drives in 1.8-inch, 2.5-inch, or 3.5-inch form factors (all 1.8-inch drives now withdrawn from marketing)
- Hot-swap drives in 2.5-inch form factor
- The server supports multiple drive types:
These drive types can be intermixed in a server and on the same RAID controller, but they cannot be intermixed in the same RAID array. In other words, all drives in a single RAID array must be either all SAS (and NL SAS) or all SATA (and NL SATA), and must have the same size and speed.- SATA, NL SATA, SAS and NL SAS HDDs
- SAS and SATA SSDs
- SAS and NL SAS SED HDDs
- SAS SED SSDs
- Mixing front hot-swap and internal (simple-swap) drives: Only 2.5-inch internal drives are supported in combination with 2.5-inch hot-swap drives. The 1.8-inch and 3.5-inch internal drives are not supported when 2.5-inch hot-swap drives are installed.
- SAS and NL SAS drives require a RAID adapter or HBA. The onboard SATA controller does not support SAS or NL SAS drives.
- The use of a 3.5-inch 12Gb SAS or NL SAS drive in the internal bay of the server is only supported if the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is attached.
- 2.5-inch SAS and NL SAS drives are not supported in the internal bays of the server if the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is attached.
Configurator tip: In order to mix hot-swap (front) and simple-swap (internal) HDDs with x-config configurator tool, you need to click the “Split” button of the “SFF Slim SAS SATA section”.
Self-encrypting drives (SEDs)
The following tables list a number of self-encrypting drives (SEDs). In order to use these drives, they need to be combined with a compatible RAID controller.
The SEDs are selectable with ServeRAID M5210 or ServeRAID M1215 controllers. In addition either of the following RAID Upgrade or FOD is required:
- ServeRAID M5210 SAS/SATA Controller for System x (PN 46C9110 / FC A3YZ) upgrades:
- ServeRAID M5210 1GB Cache RAID 5 Upgrade (PN 47C8656 / FC A3Z0)
- ServeRAID M5210 1GB Flash RAID 5 Upgrade (PN 47C8660 / FC A3Z1)
- ServeRAID M5210 2GB Flash RAID 5 Upgrade (PN 47C8664 / FC A3Z2)
- ServeRAID M5210 4GB Flash RAID 5 Upgrade (PN 47C8668 / FC A3Z3) or
- ServeRAID M5200 Series Zero Cache/RAID 5 Upgrade (PN 47C8708 / FC A3Z6)
- ServeRAID M1215 SAS/SATA Controller for System x (PN 46C9114 / FC A45W) upgrades:
- ServeRAID M1200 Zero Cache/RAID 5 Upgrade FOD (PN 00AE930 / FC A5H5)
In addition FC 5977 (no Lenovo-configured RAID required) must be selected. The RAID configuration will not be performed in the manufacturing plant with self-encrypting drives.

Internal tape drives
The server does not support internal tape drive options.
Optical drives
The server does not support an internal optical drive option, however, you can connect an external USB optical drive. See http://support.lenovo.com/en/documents/pd011281 for information about available external optical drives from Lenovo.
I/O expansion options
The nx360 M5 offers the following I/O expansion options:
- One PCIe 3.0 x16 ML2 adapter slot (optional, front accessible)
- One PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height half-length slot (optional, front accessible)
- One PCIe 2.0 x8 slot for internal RAID controller (optional, not front accessible)
Notes:
- Each slot requires a riser card, as listed in the following table.
- The use of the PCIe full-height slot and the use of the two 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays are mutually exclusive.
- When the PCIe Native Expansion Tray is installed, the full-height half-length slot becomes a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface (x8 connector).
- When the 12G Storage Native Expansion Tray is installed, the front accessible PCIe slot is used to host the RAID controller or the SAS/SATA HBA.
The front accessible slots are shown in the following figure. The internal slot for the RAID controller is shown in Figure 3.
Figure 10. Optional front accessible PCIe slots
With the addition of the NeXtScale PCIe Native Expansion Tray, the server has two additional PCIe 3.0 x16 full-height full-length double-width slots, as described in the "NeXtScale PCIe Native Expansion Tray" section.
The ordering information for optional risers for the three slots is listed in the following table.

Lenovo Financial Services
Why wait to obtain the technology you need now? No payments for 90 days and predictable, low monthly payments make it easy to budget for your Lenovo solution.
- Flexible
Our in-depth knowledge of the products, services and various market segments allows us to offer greater flexibility in structures, documentation and end of lease options.
- 100% Solution Financing
Financing your entire solution including hardware, software, and services, ensures more predictability in your project planning with fixed, manageable payments and low monthly payments.
- Device as a Service (DaaS)
Leverage latest technology to advance your business. Customized solutions aligned to your needs. Flexibility to add equipment to support growth. Protect your technology with Lenovo's Premier Support service.
- 24/7 Asset management
Manage your financed solutions with electronic access to your lease documents, payment histories, invoices and asset information.
- Fair Market Value (FMV) and $1 Purchase Option Leases
Maximize your purchasing power with our lowest cost option. An FMV lease offers lower monthly payments than loans or lease-to-own financing. Think of an FMV lease as a rental. You have the flexibility at the end of the lease term to return the equipment, continue leasing it, or purchase it for the fair market value. In a $1 Out Purchase Option lease, you own the equipment. It is a good option when you are confident you will use the equipment for an extended period beyond the finance term. Both lease types have merits depending on your needs. We can help you determine which option will best meet your technological and budgetary goals.
Ask your Lenovo Financial Services representative about this promotion and how to submit a credit application. For the majority of credit applicants, we have enough information to deliver an instant decision and send a notification within minutes.
