1 / 4 PCIe riser 1 / PCIe riser 3​

Install PCIe adapters into these risers. See the following table for PCIe slots corresponding to the risers.

1 PCIe riser 1Slot 9:

  • PCIe Gen5 x16, FH/HL when riser 3 is not installed

  • PCIe Gen5 x8, FH/HL when riser 3 is installed

4 PCIe riser 3Slot 11: PCIe Gen5 x8, FH/HL

2 / 3 Inlet and outlet hoses​

The Direct Water cold plate module (DWCM) spreads two hoses out to connect to the manifolds. The inlet hose conveys warm water from the facility to the cold plates to cool down the processors, and the outlet hose conducts hot water out of the DWCM to realize system cooling.

5 VGA connector​

Connect a monitor to this connector.

6 USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectors​

There are two USB 3.1 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) connectors on the rear of the server. Connect a USB device, such as a mouse, keyboard, or other devices, to either of these connectors.

7 XCC system management port (10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45)​

The server has a 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ-45 connector dedicated to Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) functions. Through the system management port, you can access the Lenovo XClarity Controller directly by connecting your laptop to the management port using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that you modify the IP settings on the laptop so that it is on the same network as the server default settings. A dedicated management network provides additional security by physically separating the management network traffic from the production network.

8 Identification LED/System error LED/RoT error LED​

For more information on the rear LEDs, see Rear system LEDs.

9 2.5-inch drive bays (bay 8 to 11)​

Install 2.5-inch NVMe drives to these bays. See Install a 2.5-inch hot-swap drive for more information.

10 Power supply units​

Install power supply units to these bays, connect them to power cords. Make sure the power cords are connected properly. Following are the power supplies supported by this system:

  • 2600-watt Titanium, input power 200-240 Vac

For more information on the power supply LEDs, see Power supply LEDs.

11 Rear fans​

Install rear fans in this space. See Install a front fan for more information.
