Summary of the technical specifications of server. Depending on the model, some features might not be available, or some specifications might not apply for your server model.
To prevent potential thermal issues, change the Misc setting in the BIOS from Option3 (default value) to Option1 if the following two conditions are met:
Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC), which provides service processor control and monitoring functions, video controller, and remote keyboard, video, mouse, and remote drive capabilities.
The server supports Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2). For additional information about Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2), refer to Lenovo XClarity Controller portal page.
Front connectors:
One VGA connector (optional)
One USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) connector
One USB 2.0 connector with XCC system management function
One external diagnostics connector
One integrated diagnostics panel (optional)
Rear connectors:
One VGA connector
Three USB 3.2 Gen1 (5 Gbps) connectors
One XCC system management port
Two or four Ethernet connectors on the OCP module (optional)
One serial port (optional)
Network
OCP module in the front or rear of the server, which provides two or four Ethernet connectors for network support
Note
If the ThinkSystem V3 Management NIC Adapter Kit (management NIC adapter) is installed on the server, it will not be displayed on the PCIe card list of system management software, such as XCC, LXPM, and so on.
System fan
Supported fan types:
Standard fan (60 x 60 x 36 mm, single-rotor, 17000 RPM)
Performance fan (60 x 60 x 56 mm, dual-rotor, 21000 RPM)
Fan redundancy: N+1 redundancy, one redundant fan rotor
One processor: five hot-swap system fans (one redundant fan rotor)
One processor with middle/rear bay or Riser 3, or two processors: six hot-swap system fans (one redundant fan rotor)
Note
Single-rotor hot-swap fans cannot be mixed with dual-rotor hot-swap fans.
The redundant cooling by the fans in the server enables continued operation if one rotor of a fan fails.
When the system is powered off but still plugged in to AC power, fans 1 and 2 may continue to spin at a much lower speed. This is the system design to provide proper cooling.
Power supplies
The server supports up to two hot-swap power supplies for redundancy.
