Server configurations

The SR950 supports five different configurations, depending on the desired number of processors, drive bays, PCIe slots, and upgradability to an 8-socket configuration.

Notes:

  • The configurations listed here represent Lenovo's recommendations regarding the selection of compute system boards, I/O riser cards, and NVMe drive bays to maximize the available resources. You can select fewer drives and lower slot counts by using lower-slot-count riser cards to meet application requirements.
  • The use of only two, three or six processors in configurations where supported will reduce the available I/O slots and NVMe drive bays. This is described in details in the Internal storage section and the I/O expansion options section.
  • Configurations 1 and 2 support either two, three or four processors however the use 5100 Series processors requires that four processors be selected. Two or three 5100 Series processors are not supported in these configurations due to the way the processors are connected.
  • Configurations 3 and 4 are designed to be easily upgradable to 8 processors. As a result, 8100 Series processors are required.

When building a server in the configurator, the feature codes in the following table are key to selecting the right configuration.

Processor options

The SR950 supports the Gold and Platinum level processors in the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family, including the "top bin" highest performing 205 W processors available from Intel.

The server supports up to four or eight processors, depending on the configuration selected, however processors are all installed within the 4U rack enclosure:

  • For configurations that support up to eight processors, the server supports 2, 4, 6 or 8 processors
  • For configurations of up to four processors (lower cost configuration, no upgrade path to eight processors), the server supports 2, 3 or 4 processors

As described in the Components and connectors section, processors and memory are located on compute system boards - two processors per board. Two system boards are installed in a compute tray, and there are two compute trays in the server. 

For configurations with only one compute tray, you can upgrade to add a second compute tray. You can also add additional system boards as needed. The ordering information for these upgrades is listed in the following table.

Table 23. Compute tray and system board upgrades
Part number Feature code Description
7XG7A03955 AUN0 ThinkSystem SR950 2-CPU, 24 DIMM Compute System Board
7XG7A03956 Various ThinkSystem SR950 Upper Compute Tray Kit

The Compute System Board option, 7XG7A03955, includes the following components:

  • One compute system board, without processors or memory

The Upper Compute Tray Kit, 7XG7A03956, includes the following components:

  • 1x compute tray with 12 drive bays and 1 slot for storage adapter
  • 1x compute system board
  • 3x 4-bay drive bay fillers

Note: The Upper Compute Tray Kit does not include drive backplanes

The table below lists the supported processors. The table indicates which processors support 8-socket configurations and whether the processors support memory capacities greater than 768 GB per processor.

All processors listed support:

  • Hyper-Threading Technology
  • Turbo Boost Technology 2.0

The table also lists the number of UltraPath Interconnect (UPI) ports each processor has. UPI ports are used to connect processors together for high-speed communications.

  • When a processor has 3 UPI ports, it can be used in a 4-socket mesh configuration where all processors are directly connected to every other processor. 5100 Series processors do not support mesh topology, since they only have 2 UPI ports.
  • When a processor has only 2 UPI ports, it can only be used in a 4-socket ring configuration where all processors are connected to the 2 adjacent processors and the fourth processor is only connected indirectly via another processor.

The mesh and ring topologies are shown in the following figure.

Memory options

The SR950 uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory operating at up to 2666 MHz. The server supports 12 DIMMs per processor, which corresponds to 48 DIMMs with four processors installed and 96 DIMMs when eight processors are installed. Each processor has six memory channels with two DIMMs per channel. With 128 GB 3DS RDIMMs installed, an 8-socket server supports a total of 12 TB of system memory.

As described in the Components and connectors section, the memory is installed on compute system boards and there are two system boards per compute tray and one or two compute trays per server, depending on the configuration.

All DIMMs operate at a speed of 2666 MHz, both at 1 DIMM per channel and 2 DIMMs per channel. However, if the processor selected has a lower memory bus speed (eg 2400 MHz), then all DIMMs will operate at that lower speed.

The following table lists the memory options that are available for SR950.

Lenovo 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 to maximize performance and reliability. From a service and support standpoint, Lenovo TruDDR4 memory automatically assumes the system warranty, and Lenovo provides service and support worldwide.

The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:

  • The server supports RDIMMs, LRDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs. UDIMMs are not supported.
  • Mixing RDIMMs and LRDIMMs is not supported.
  • Mixing 3DS RDIMMs with either RDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not supported.
  • Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is supported.

For best performance, consider the following:

  • Populate memory DIMMs in quantities of 6 or 12 per processor, so that all memory channels are used.
  • When mixing 16 GB and 32 GB DIMMs in the same configuration, use 16GB 2Rx8 DIMMs instead of 16 GB 1Rx4 DIMMs for better performance.
  • Populate memory channels so they all have the same total memory capacity
  • Ensure all memory controllers on a processor socket have the same DIMM configuration.
  • All processor sockets on the same physical server should have the same DIMM configuration.

The following memory protection technologies are supported:

  • ECC
  • SDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs; look for "x4" in the DIMM description)
  • ADDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs)
  • Memory mirroring
  • Memory rank sparing

If memory channel mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs or sets of three (minimum of one pair or set of three per processor), and all DIMMs in the pair or set of three must be identical in type and size. 50% of the installed capacity is available to the operating system.

If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of two single-rank or dual-rank DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need to be identical). In rank sparing mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The largest rank in the channel will be automatically selected as the spare rank. The amount of memory available to the operating system depends on the number, capacity and rank counts of the DIMMs installed.

Internal storage

The SR950 offers up to 24x 2.5-inch drive bays, depending on the server configuration selected (as described in Server configurations). The server also supports either one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter.

In this section:

Backplanes and drive bays

Drives are all located at the front of the server, 12 drives at the front of the upper tray and 12 at the front of the lower tray. Drives are connected to 4-drive backplanes in a 2-by-2 configuration, as shown in the following figure. All drive bays are 2.5-inch form factor.

Location of backplanes
Figure 11. Location of backplanes

There are two different backplanes available for the SR950:

  • SAS/SATA backplane: Supports 4 SAS or SATA drives
  • AnyBay backplane:
    • Top two drives support SAS, SATA, or NVMe interface drives (Lenovo AnyBay)
    • Bottom two drive bays support SAS or SATA drives only

Regular 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays support only SAS or SATA drives; however, the Lenovo AnyBay drive bay design allows a choice of SATA, SAS, or U.2 (NVMe) PCIe drives. This design enables the flexibility to configure some of the bays with high-performance PCIe SSDs while still using the other bays for high-capacity HDDs, which is an ideal solution for storage-tiering.

Backplane connections are as follows:

  • The 4-drive SAS/SATA backplane has one SAS/SATA connector and connects to a supported RAID controller or SAS HBA installed in the dedicated storage adapter slot.
  • The 4-drive AnyBay backplane has one SAS/SATA connector and connects to a supported RAID controller or SAS HBA plus one NVMe connector to connect to NVMe ports on one of the system boards in a compute tray or directly on the storage tray.

The SAS/SATA backplane is shown in the following figure.

SAS/SATA backplane
Figure 13. SAS/SATA backplane

Adapters and cabling

Each compute tray or storage tray includes one dedicated PCIe slot for a RAID adapter or SAS HBA.

Tip: The adapters are described in detail in the Controllers for internal storage section.

SAS/SATA backplanes are connected to the RAID adapter or HBA installed in the dedicated slot in that tray. AnyBay backplanes (NVMe support on 2 of the 4 drive bays) are connected to the RAID adapter or HBA or to an NVMe port adjacent to processor on a system board.

The following table lists which processor each SAS/SATA storage adapter and which NVMe port each backplane is connected to. Backplane numbering is shown in Figure 11.

* In 2, 3 and 6 processor configurations, the following backplanes cannot be AnyBay backplanes:

  • In 2-processor configurations, processors 3 and 4 are not installed; this means drive backplanes 1 and 2 cannot be AnyBay backplanes.
  • In 3-processor configurations, processor 3 is not installed; this means drive backplanes 1 and 4 cannot be AnyBay backplanes
  • In 6-processor configurations, processors 6 & 8 are not installed; this means drive backplanes 5 and 6 cannot be AnyBay backplanes

M.2 drives

The server supports one or two M.2 form-factor SATA drives for use as an operating system boot solution. With two M.2 drives configured, the drives are configured by default as a RAID-1 mirrored pair for redundancy.

The M.2 drives install into an M.2 adapter which in turn is installed in a dedicated slot on the system board. See the internal view of the server in the Components and connectors section for the location of the M.2 slot.

There are two M.2 adapters supported, as listed in the following table.

SED encryption key management with ISKLM

The server supports self-encrypting drives (SEDs) and FIPS 140-2 drives as described in the Internal drive options section. To effectively manage a large deployment of these drives in Lenovo servers, IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM) offers a centralized key management solution. A Lenovo Feature on Demand (FoD) upgrade is used to enable this SKLM support in the management processor of the server.

The following table lists the part numbers and feature codes for the upgrades.

I/O expansion options

The server supports the following PCIe slots, depending on the server configuration selected:

  • Slots 1-17 are PCIe 3.0 slots accessible from the rear of the server
  • One internal dedicated M.2 slot for an M.2 adapter located internally on the I/O tray
  • Two internal dedicated PCIe 3.0 x8 slots for storage adapters, located internally in each compute tray or storage tray

The following figure shows the locations of the slots at the rear of the server.

PCIe 3.0 slots at the rear of the server
Figure 14. PCIe 3.0 slots at the rear of the server

The 17 PCIe 3.0 rear-accessible slots are as follows:

  • Slots 1-4 are via Riser Slot 1, one riser card of:
    • Riser with 4x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, all full-height half-length, all 75W
    • Riser with 2x PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, all full-height half-length, both 75W
    • Riser with 4x PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, full-height half-length, all 75W
  • Slot 5: PCIe 3.0 x16, low profile, 75W
  • Slot 6: PCIe 3.0 x16, low profile, 75W
  • Slot 7: PCIe 3.0 x8, low profile, 75W
  • Slot 8: PCIe 3.0 x16 ML2, low profile (supports NC-SI)
  • Slot 9: PCIe 3.0 x8 LOM adapter slot, low profile (supports NC-SI)
  • Slots 10-15 are via Riser Slot 2, one riser card of:
    • Riser 5x16+ML2
      • Five PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, all full-height half-length, all 75W
      • One PCIe 3.0 x16 ML2 slot, full-height half-length, 30W (no NC-SI support)
    • Riser 2x16: Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, all full-height half-length, both 75W
    • Riser 4x8: Four PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, full-height half-length, all 75W
  • Slot 16-17 on a riser:
    • PCIe 3.0 x8 low profile, 75W
    • PCIe 3.0 x8 low profile, 75W

Additional internal PCIe slots:

  • One or two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots for storage adapters, one in each compute tray
  • M.2 adapter slot

NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface or NCSI) support means the primary port on the adapter installed in that slot can be configured as shared between XCC out-of-band management traffic and production Ethernet traffic.

For riser slots 1 and 2, the server supports the following three riser cards. These are shown in the figure below.

  • Riser 5x16+ML2:
    • Five PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, all full-height half-length, all 75W
    • One PCIe 3.0 x16 ML2 slot, full-height half-length, 30W (no NC-SI support)

    Note: When the 5x16+ML2 riser is installed in riser slot 1, the bottom two slots (including the ML2) are not accessible and cannot be used.

  • Riser 2x16: Two PCIe 3.0 x16 slots, all full-height half-length, both 75W
  • Riser 4x8: Four PCIe 3.0 x8 slots, full-height half-length, all 75W

Note: The ML2 slot on the riser card does not support NC-SI.

Riser cards for riser slots 1 and 2
Figure 15. Riser cards for riser slots 1 and 2

Slot numbering is as follows:
  • When installed in riser slot 1:
    • Riser 5x16+ML2 becomes slots 1-4 (bottom two slots inaccessible)
    • Riser 2x16 becomes slots 3-4
    • Riser 4x8 becomes slots 1-4
  • When installed in riser slot 2:
    • Riser 5x16+ML2 becomes slots 10-15
    • Riser 2x16 becomes slots 12-13
    • Riser 4x8 becomes slots 10-13

Note: When the 5x16+ML2 riser card is used in Riser slot 1, only the top 4 slots (all x16) are accessible. The lower x16 and x16 ML2 slots cannot physically be accessed or used.

Slots 16 and 17 are mounted on a single 2x8 riser card and are as follows:

  • Slot 16: PCIe 3.0 x8, full-height half-length, 75W
  • Slot 17: PCIe 3.0 x8, full-height half-length, 75W

The 2x8 riser card is shown below.

Network adapters

The SR950 has an integrated 10Gb Ethernet controller, based on the Intel Ethernet Connection X722. The X722 has the following features:

  • Integrated into the Intel PCH chipset
  • Supports 1GbE or 10GbE connections, depending on the selected LOM Phy adapter
  • Offers VXLAN/NVGRE hardware offloads
  • Supports VMDq and SR-IOV for advanced virtualization
  • Supports iWarp RDMA

To provide connectivity to the X722, the SR950 supports six different LOM (LAN on Motherboard) cards which provide the Ethernet PHY function. Only 1 LOM card can be installed. See Figure 3 for the location of the LOM slot.

The LOM card supports NC-SI to allow the network connection to be shared between the operating system and the XClarity Controller (XCC) management module. The LOM also supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL).

For more information about the X722 controller, see the Lenovo Press product guide:
http://lenovopress.com/lp0654-intel-x722-integrated-controller

The following table lists the supported LOM cards.

GPU adapters and coprocessors

Full-length adapter cards such as graphics processing units (GPUs) do not physically fit in the server and are not supported.

Cooling

The SR950 uses a set of 60mm hot-swap single-rotor fans for system-wide cooling. Each compute tray or storage tray houses 6 hot-swap fans. The 6 fans in the compute tray are N+1 redundant, meaning that a single fan failure is tolerated in each compute tray.

Fans are located internal to the server immediately in front of the compute system boards, but are accessible from the front of the server by the long handle attached to the fan. As the handle is pulled out, the attached fan rotates from vertical orientation to horizontal orientation, allowing the fan to be removed from the system using the handle, as shown below.

Six fans installed in the compute tray
Figure 17. Six fans installed in each compute tray (lower compute tray shown)

 

Power supplies

The server supports up to four hot-swap power supplies. Power supplies are N+N redundant, which means that if the server has four power supplies installed, then the server can continue operation even with two failed power supplies, or if the utility service that feeds those two power supplies goes offline.

All power supplies installed in a server must have the same capacity (for example all 1600W).

The 1100W power supply is auto-sensing and supports both 110V AC (100-127V 50/60 Hz) and 220V AC (200-240V 50/60 Hz) power. The 1600 W power supply only supports 220V AC power. 240V DC is not supported.

Note: At 100-127 V AC input, the 1100W power supply is limited to 1050W.

Power supply options do not include a power cord. For models of the SR950, the inclusion of a power cords is model dependent. Configure-to-order models can be configured without a power cord if desired.

Tip: Use Lenovo Capacity Planner to determine exactly what power your server needs:
https://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/solutions-and-software/software/lenovo-capacity-planner/solutions/ht504651

Power cords

Country-specific line cords and rack power cables can be ordered as listed in the following table.

110V customers: If you plan to use the ThinkSystem 1100W power supply with a 110V power source, select a power cable that is rated above 10A. Power cables that are rated at 10A or below are not supported with 110V power.

Integrated virtualization

The server supports booting from an operating system or hypervisor installed on an M.2 solid-state drive. See the M.2 drives section for details and the list of available options.

You can download supported VMware vSphere hypervisor images from the following web page and load it on the M.2 drive using the instructions provided:
https://vmware.lenovo.com/content/custom_iso/

Systems management

The server contains an integrated service processor, XClarity Controller (XCC), which provides advanced service-processor control, monitoring, and alerting functions. The XCC is based on the Pilot4 XE401 baseboard management controller (BMC) using a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 service processor.

Local management

The SR950 offers the front operator panel showing key LED status indicators, as shown in the following figure.

Front operator panel
Figure 18. Front operator panel (LCD display panel closed)

The front operator panel pulls out (see the release latch in the above figure) to show an LCD display panel and buttons, as shown in the following figure. The LCD display panel allows quick access to system status, firmware, network, and health information.

Front operator panel with LCD display
Figure 19. LCD display panel

The LCD display and the function buttons give you access to the following information:

  • Error messages
  • System VPD: machine type & mode, serial number, UUID string
  • System firmware levels: UEFI and XCC firmware
  • XCC network information: hostname, MAC address, IP address, DNS addresses
  • Environmental data: Ambient temperature, CPU temperature, AC input voltage, estimated power consumption
  • System reset action

If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, XCC lights LEDs inside the server to help you diagnose the problem and find the failing part. The SR950 has fault LEDs next to the following components:

  • Each processor
  • Each memory DIMM
  • Each system fan
  • Each power supply
  • Each rear-facing PCIe slot 
  • Each drive bay

For local console use, the SR950 has both a front and rear VGA port. Only one can be active at a time. If displays are connected to both VGA ports, the front VGA port takes precedence. 

System status with XClarity Mobile

The XClarity Mobile app now includes a tethering function where you can connect your Android or iOS device to the server via USB to see the status of the server.

The steps to connect the mobile device are as follows:

  1. Enable USB Management on the server, by holding down the ID button for 3 seconds (or pressing the dedicated USB management button if one is present)
  2. Connect the mobile device via a USB cable to the server's USB port with the management symbol USB Management symbol
  3. In iOS or Android settings, enable Personal Hotspot or USB Tethering
  4. Launch the Lenovo XClarity Mobile app

Once connected you can see the following information:

  • Server status including error logs (read only, no login required)
  • Server management functions (XClarity login credentials required)

Remote management
