Network

  • OCP module

Note

If ThinkSystem V3 Management NIC Adapter Kit 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 6038 (single-rotor, 17000 RPM)

    • Performance fan 6056 (dual-rotor, 21000 RPM)

  • Fan redundancy: N + 1 redundancy, one redundant fan rotor

    • Supports fan redundancy when using six 6038 fans, four 6056 fans or six 6056 fans

    • Not support fan redundancy when using four 6038 fans

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.
