Think System SR675 V3 Rack Server
Owner’s Manual

From Exascale to Every scale™ — a modular platform tailored to your enterprise AI requirements

Designed for Your Enterprise

Lenovo Think System SR675 V3 delivers optimal performance for Artificial Intelligence (AI), High Performance Computing (HPC) and graphical workloads across an array of industries.
Retail, manufacturing, financial services and healthcare industries are leveraging GPUs to extract greater insights and drive innovation utilizing machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). Here are a few ways accelerated computing leverages GPUs in different organizations:

Computer vision for retail customer experience
Natural language processing (NLP) for call centers
Large-scale Omnivores™ digital twins
In-silico trials and immunology in Life Sciences
Ray-traced rendering for photo-realistic graphics
Remote visualization for work-from-home teams
Powerful video encoding and decoding
Automatic optical inspection (AOI) for quality control

As more workloads leverage the capabilities of accelerators, the demand for GPUs increases. The Think System SR675 V3 delivers an optimized enterprise- grade solution for deploying accelerated HPC and AI workloads in production, maximizing system performance.
Every Scale Platform means: Versatility
The SR675 V3 features a modular design for ultimate flexibility. With multiple different front compartment options, configurations include:

One or two 4th Generation AMD EPYC™ Processors
Up to eight double-width GPUs with NVLink Bridge
NVIDIA HGX™ H100 4-GPU with NVLink and Lenovo
Neptune™ hybrid liquid cooling performance
AMD Instinct™ MI Series Accelerators
Choice of front or rear high-speed networking
Choice of local high speed 2.5 SAS/SATA/NVMe storage

The Think System SR675 V3 is built on one or two 4th Generation AMD EPYC™ Processors and is designed to support the vast NVIDIA Hopper, Lovelace and Ampere datacenter portfolio and AMD Instinct™ MI Series Accelerators.
The Think System SR675 V3 delivers performance optimized for your workload, be it visualization, rendering or computationally intensive HPC and AI.

Most Powerful Compute Platform

The NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPU delivers unprecedented acceleration—at every scale—to power the world’s highest performing elastic data centers for AI, data analytics, and HPC applications. The H100 can efficiently scale up or be partitioned into seven isolated GPU instances, with Second-Generation Multi- Instance GPU (MIG) providing a unified platform that enables elastic data centers to dynamically adjust to shifting workload demands. A rack of 13 Think System SR675 V3 servers can generate up to 5 PFLOPS of compute power.

Cutting Edge Cooling Capability

Traditional air-cooling methods are reaching critical limits.
Increases in component power especially on CPUs and GPUs have resulted in higher energy and infrastructure costs, extremely loud systems and heightened carbon footprints.
To combat these challenges and dissipate heat quickly, some models of the SR675 V3 employ Lenovo Neptune™ liquid-to-air hybrid cooling technology.
The heat of the NVIDIA HGX™ H100 GPUs is removed through a unique closed loop liquid-to-air heat exchanger that delivers the benefits of liquid cooling such as lower power consumption, quiet operation and higher performance without adding plumbing.

Solutions That Scale

Whether you’re just starting with AI or moving into production, your solution must scale with your organization’s needs. The Think System SR675 V3 can be used in a cluster environment using high-speed fabric to scale out as your workload demands increase.
Enabled with Lenovo HPC & AI Software Stack, you can support multiple users and scale within a single cluster environment. Lenovo HPC & AI Software Stack provides our HPC customers with a fully tested and supported open-source software stack to enable their administrators and users for the most effective and environmentally sustainable consumption of Lenovo Supercomputing capabilities.
Our Confluent management system and Lenovo Intelligent Computing Orchestration (LiCO) Web portal provide an interface designed to abstract the users from the complexity of HPC cluster orchestration and AI workloads management, making open-source HPC software consumable for every customer.
LiCO Web portal provides workflows for both AI and HPC, and supports multiple AI frameworks, allowing you to leverage a single cluster for diverse workload requirements.
