One-processor configurations
The SR650 V2 can be used with only one processor installed. Most core functions of the server (including the XClarity Controller) are connected to processor 1 as shown in the System architecture section.
With only one processor, the server has the following capabilities:

• 16 memory DIMMs for a 2TB maximum
• Slot 1-3 (riser 1) and slots 7-8 (riser 3) are available; Slot 4-6 (riser 2) are not available

Drive support is as follows:

• Front SAS/SATA drives are supported – 8, 16, 24 drives (2.5-inch) or 8, 12 drives (3.5-inch)
• Front NVMe drives are supported – up to 8 drives (2.5-inch only)
• Rear SAS/SATA drives are supported – 4x 3.5-inch drives or up to 4x 2.5-inch drives
• M.2 drives are supported
• 7mm rear drives are supported

Controller support is as follows:

• 8x onboard SATA
• 8x NVMe (4x onboard + 1x 4-port switch adapter)
• RAID adapters/HBAs installed in slots 1-3
• Internal RAID controller and HBA (CFF form factor)

Riser 3 is supported under the following conditions:

• No onboard NVMe connections are available
• With the x8/x8 PCIe G4 Riser3 (BHZX) selected, Slots 7 and 8 are both connected each with x8 lanes
• With the x16/x16 PCIe G4 Riser3 (BHZY) selected, Slot 7 is connected with x16 lanes; Slot 8 is not connected

The following components are not supported:

• Front AnyBay drives are not supported
• Middle drive bays are not supported

Drives in the middle drive bays (2.5-inch or 3.5-inch) are not supported in 1-processor configurations because power for the mid-chassis drive backplanes come from Riser 2 and the use of Riser 2 requires the second processor.

Thermal requirements for processors
For thermal requirements for processors, see the Thermal Rules section in the Information Center for the SR650 V2: https://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/SR650V2/thermal_rules.html?cp=4_11_7_2_1.
UEFI operating modes
The SR650 V2 offers preset operating modes that affect energy consumption and performance. These modes are a collection of predefined low-level UEFI settings that simplify the task of tuning the server to suit your business and workload requirements.
The following table lists the feature codes that allow you to specify the mode you wish to preset in the factory for CTO orders.
UK and EU customers: With the SR650 V2, only “Efficiency – Favoring Performance Mode” (feature BFYE) is offered in the UK and countries in the European Union. The other preset modes are not available in DCSC.
Table 17. UEFI operating mode presets in DCSC

The preset modes for the SR650 V2 are as follows:

• Maximum Performance Mode (feature BFYB): Achieves maximum performance but with higher power consumption and lower energy efficiency.
• Minimal Power Mode (feature BFYC): Minimize the absolute power consumption of the system.
• Efficiency Favoring Power Savings Mode (feature BFYD): Maximize the performance/watt efficiency with a bias towards power savings. This is the favored mode for SPECpower benchmark testing, for example.
• Efficiency Favoring Performance Mode (feature BFYE): Maximize the performance/watt efficiency with a bias towards performance. This is the favored mode for Energy Star certification, for example.

For details about these preset modes, and all other performance and power efficiency UEFI settings offered in the SR650 V2, see the paper “Tuning UEFI Settings for Performance and Energy Efficiency on Intel Xeon Scalable Processor-Based ThinkSystem Servers”, available from https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1477.

Memory options
The SR650 V2 uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory and supports 16 DIMMs per processor or 32 DIMMs with two processors installed. Each processor has eight memory channels with two DIMMs per channel. With 256 GB 3DS RDIMMs installed, the SR650 V2 supports a total of 8 TB of system memory.
The SR650 V2 also supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series, as described in the Persistent Memory section.
Memory operates at up to 3200 MHz at two DIMMs per channel , depending on the memory DIMMs and processor model selected. If the processor selected has a lower memory bus speed, then all DIMMs will operate at that lower speed.
The following table lists the memory options that are available for the server.
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 following DIMM quantities are supported per processor: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16. Other quantities per processor are not supported.
• The server supports RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs; UDIMMs and LRDIMMs are not supported
• Mixing RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs is not supported
• Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is supported

For best performance, consider the following:

• Populate memory DIMMs in quantities of 8 or 16 per processor, so that all memory channels are used.
• 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

Note: Memory sparing is not supported
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. Memory rank sparing is not supported.

Persistent memory
The SR650 V2 server supports Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series, a new class of memory and storage technology explicitly architected for data center usage. Persistent memory is an innovative technology that delivers a unique combination of  affordable large memory capacity and persistence (non- volatility). It offers significantly lower latency than fetching data from SSDs, even NVMe SSDs, and offers higher capacities than system memory.
Persistent memory technology can help boost the performance of data-intensive applications such as in-memory analytics, databases, content delivery networks, and high performance computing (HPC), as well as deliver consistent service levels at scale with higher virtual machine and container density. When data is stored closer to the processor on nonvolatile media, applications can see significant overall improvement in performance.
The following table lists the ordering information for the supported persistent memory modules.
Table 19. Persistent memory module part numbers

Part number| Feature code| Description| Maximum supported
---|---|---|---
4ZC7A08732| B98B| ThinkSystem 128GB TruDDR4 3200MHz (1.2V) Intel Optane Persistent Memory| 16 (8 per processor)

• App Direct Mode and Memory Mode are supported. Mixed Mode is not supported.
• All PMem modules operate at 3200 MHz when the installed processor runs the memory bus at 3200 MHz.
• All installed PMem modules must be the same size. Mixing PMem modules of different capacities is not supported.
• Maximum 8 PMem modules per processor (install 1 in each memory channel).
• For each memory channel with both a PMem module and a memory DIMM installed, the PMem module is installed in channel slot 1 (DIMM1, closer to the processor) and the DIMM is installed in channel slot 0 (DIMM0).
• To maximize performance, balance all memory channels
• Both interleaved and non-interleaved modes are supported.
• Memory mirroring is not supported with PMem modules installed

For details, including App Direct Mode and Memory Mode configuration requirements, see the Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series product guide, https://lenovopress.com/LP1380

Internal storage
The SR650 V2 has three drive bay zones and supports up to 20x 3.5-inch or 40x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays or a combination of drive bays, depending on the selected chassis and backplane configuration. The server also supports configurations without any drive bays if desired.
The three drive bay zones are as follows:

• Front:
  • Up to 12x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
  • Up to 24x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
• Middle:
  • 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
  • 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
• Rear:
  • Up to 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap bays, or
  • Up to 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
  • Also supports 2x 7mm hot-swap drives bays

All drives are hot-swap and are accessible from the front, from the rear, or from drive bays that are located in the middle of the server (accessible when you remove the top cover of the server).
The server also supports one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2 adapter internal to the server.
In this section:

• NVMe drive support
• Front drive bays
• Mid drive bays
• Rear drive bays
• Supported drive bay combinations
• Controller selections
• Field upgrades
• RAID flash power module (supercap) support
• M.2 drives
• 7mm drives
• SED encryption key management

NVMe drive support
The SR650 V2 supports NVMe drives to maximize storage performance.

• Up to 24 NVMe drives without oversubscription (that is, each x4 drive has a dedicated x4 (4 lanes) connection to the processor)
  • All installed in front bays
  • 12 drives connected to onboard NVMe ports, 12 connected to 3 retimer cards installed in PCIe x16 slots
• Up to 32 NVMe drives with a 2:1 oversubscription (that is, eight x4 drives share a x16 connection via an NVMe switch, and the switch manages the connections to maximize performance of all drives)
  • 24 NVMe drives in the front bays
  • 8 NVMe drives in the mid bays
  • All drives connected to 4 NVMe switch adapters (3 front, 1 mid)
• Up to 12 NVMe drives in a 3.5-inch drive configuration
  • All installed in front bays
  • All drives connected on onboard NVMe ports

Riser 3 support: The use of the onboard NVMe ports may be mutually exclusive with Riser 3, as these use the same PCIe connectors. See the System architecture section.
The specifics of these configurations are covered in the Supported drive bay combinations and Controller selections sections.
The tables in those sections indicate the number of NVMe drives in each configuration plus the subscription ratio.
The subscription ratio is the number of PCIe lanes from the processor compared to the number of lanes to the drives. A ratio of 1:1 means all drives get the full number of lanes they need to maximize drive performance (currently 4 lanes per drive). A ratio of 1:2 means each drive only gets the half the bandwidth from the processor. NVMe drives connected to a RAID adapter with Tri-Mode support have a 1:4 effective ratio, since they only have a 1-lane connection to the RAID adapter.
In addition, the SR650 V2 supports two 7mm NVMe drives for use as boot drives. These two drives are connected via separate RAID controller connected to a single PCIe 3.0 x2 host interface. See the 7mm drives section for details.

Tri-Mode support
The RAID 940-8i and RAID 940-16i adapters also support NVMe through a feature named Tri-Mode support (or Trimode support). This feature enables the use of NVMe U.3 drives at the same time as SAS and SATA drives.
Tri-Mode requires an AnyBay backplane. Cabling of the controller to the backplanes is the same as with SAS/SATA drives, and the NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1 link to the controller.
NVMe drives connected using Tri-Mode support provide better performance than SAS or SATA drives: A SATA SSD has a data rate of 6Gbps, a SAS SSD has a data rate of 12Gbps, whereas an NVMe U.3 Gen 4 SSD with a PCIe x1 link will have a data rate of 16Gbps. NVMe drives typically also have lower latency and higher IOPS compared to SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode is supported with U.3 NVMe drives in either 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor and requires an AnyBay backplane.
Tri-Mode requires U.3 drives: Only NVMe drives with a U.3 interface are supported. U.2 drives are not supported. See the Internal drive options section for the U.3 drives supported by the server.

Front drive bays
The front drive bay zone supports the following configurations:

• 3.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
  • No backplane and no drives (supports field upgrades)
  • 8x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA
  • 12x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA
  • 12x 3.5-inch AnyBay
  • 8x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA + 4x 3.5-inch AnyBay
• 2.5-inch drive bays (all hot-swap)
  • No backplane and no drives (supports field upgrades)
  • 8x SAS/SATA
  • 16x SAS/SATA
  • 24x SAS/SATA
  • 8x NVMe
  • 16x NVMe
  • 24x NVMe
  • 8x SAS/SATA + 8x NVMe
  • 16x SAS/SATA + 8x NVMe
  • 8x SAS/SATA + 16x NVMe
  • 8x AnyBay
  • 16x AnyBay
  • 24x AnyBay
  • 8x AnyBay + 8x NVMe
  • 8x SAS/SATA + 8x AnyBay
  • 8x SAS/SATA + 16x AnyBay
  • 16x SAS/SATA + 8x AnyBay

These configurations are shown in the following figure. The feature codes listed are the backplane feature codes when ordering CTO and correspond to the feature codes listed in the table below the figure.
Tip: Configurations with 8x or 16x total drive bays can be configured with or without an Integrated Diagnostics Panel with pull-out LCD display. With the Integrated Diagnostics Display, 8-bay configurations can be upgrade to 16 bays, however 16-bay configurations cannot be upgrade to 24 bays. See the Local management section for details.The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
Field upgrades: All front backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades, along with required cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
Table 20. Backplanes for front drive bays

Front 2.5-inch drive backplanes
B8LU| ThinkSystem 2U 8×2.5″ SAS/SATA Backplane| 3
BH8B| ThinkSystem 2U/4U 8×2.5″ AnyBay Backplane| 3
BH8D| ThinkSystem 2U/4U 8×2.5″ NVMe Backplane| 3

BMJA| ThinkSystem 2U 16×2.5″ Front Operator Panel v2| 1
B8MS| ThinkSystem 2U 16×2.5″ Front Operator Panel| 1

Common backplanes: Two of the 2.5-inch backplanes listed in the above table use the same physical circuit board. Feature codes BH8B and BH8D use a backplane with eight bays where each bay has both a SAS/SATA connection and an NVMe connection. The difference is which connectors on the backplane are cabled: NVMe and SAS/SATA or just NVMe. Both feature codes use backplane SBB7A29600.
The use of front drive bays has the following configuration rules:

• If 3.5-inch front drive bays are used, an internal RAID adapter or HBA is not supported as the adapter and bays occupy the same physical space
• Any 8x 2.5-inch and 16x 2.5-inch drive configuration (SAS/SATA, AnyBay, NVMe) can optionally be configured for use with the Integrated Diagnostics Panel. 3.5-inch drive configurations do not support the Integrated Diagnostics Panel.

Mid drive bays
The SR650 V2 supports hot-swap drives installed in the middle of the server chassis. The drive bays are accessible by removing the top lid of the server and levering the mid drive chassis up at the front.
The following configurations are supported:

• 4x 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays
• 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays
• 8x 2.5-inch hot-swap NVMe drive bays

The drive bays in the open position are shown in the following figure.
M.2 support: When mid drive bays are configured, the M.2 adapter is installed on the mid drive bay mechanical as shown in the images.The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
Table 21. Backplanes for mid drive bays

Mid – 3.5-inch drive backplane
BCQK| ThinkSystem 2U 4×3.5″ SAS/SATA Middle Backplane| 1
Mid – 2.5-inch drive backplane
BCQL| ThinkSystem 2U 4×2.5″ SAS/SATA Middle Backplane| 2‡
BDY7| ThinkSystem 2U 4×2.5″ Middle NVMe Backplane| 2‡

‡ 2.5-inch drive backplanes for the mid-chassis area must be installed in pairs. NVMe and SAS/SATA cannot be mixed.
Field upgrades: Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades along with require cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
The use of drive bays in the mid-chassis area has the following configuration rules:

• Processors with TDP > 205W are not supported
• Full-length adapter cards are not supported
• GPUs (including low profile GPUs such as the T4) are not supported
• Riser 1 and Riser 2 are required, since power for the mid bay backplanes comes from Riser 2, and Riser 2 requires Riser 1 be configured
• 2 CPUs are required, since the second processor is required for Riser 2.

Rear drive bays
The SR650 V2 supports hot-swap drives installed at the rear of the server chassis. Supported configurations are as follows:

• 3.5-inch hot-swap drives
  • 2x SAS/SATA drive bays
  • 4x SAS/SATA drive bays
• 2.5-inch hot-swap drives
  • 4x SAS/SATA drive bays
  • 8x SAS/SATA drive bays

The configurations are shown in the following figure.
Riser 3: Rear drive bays and Riser 3 are not supported together, since they occupy the same physical space.In addition, the server supports two 7mm-thickness SSDs which are installed in place of either slot 3 or slot 6 (not both). Supported 7mm drive bays are:

• 2x 7mm SAS/SATA hot-swap drive bays
• 2x 7mm NVMe hot-swap drive bays

These drives are shown in the following figure. See the 7mm drives section for more information.
Tip: These 7mm drives can be used in conjunction with any rear drive 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch bay combination.
An exception to this is a configuration of 4x 3.5-inch rear drive bays + mid- chassis drive bays, since the midchassis drive bays require Riser 2 for power and, in such a configuration, the 7mm drive bays can only be installed in the same physical space as Riser 2 (slot 6).The backplanes used to provide these drive bays are listed in the following table.
Table 22. Backplanes for rear drive bays

B8P3| ThinkSystem 2U 7mm Drive Kit w/ NVMe RAID| 1

Field upgrades: Backplanes are available as part numbers for field upgrades along with require cable option kits, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
The use of rear drive bays has the following configuration rules:

• Processors with TDP > 205W are not supported
• Riser 3 is not supported since the rear drive bays occupy the space of this riser.
• The use of rear drive bays restricts the number of slots and the choice of risers that are supported. See the I/O expansion section for details.
• The use of rear drive bays requires Riser 1 be installed, since power for the rear backplane comes from Riser 1
• The 7mm rear drive kit is supported installed in either slot 3 or slot 6 but not both at the same time.
• The 7mm drive enclosure is connected to an onboard port and cannot be connected to any installed RAID adapter or HBA.

Supported drive bay combinations
This section describes the various combinations of 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives that the server supports. The drive bay combinations are grouped based on the drive type at the front of the server, 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch.

Support is marked as “Opt” (short for Optional). “No” means no support for the respective drive type. Restrictions are noted as appropriate. See the 7mm drives and M.2 drives sections for details.
Many of the configurations also support Riser 3. The use of Riser 3 has the following requirements:

• No rear drive bays configured
• At most 4x onboard NVMe (OB NVMe) connections

Many of the NVMe configurations are supported with ony 1 processor. NVMe configuration with 1 processor have the following requirements:

• The use of only 4x OB NVMe is supported
• The use of a RAID adapter in Tri-Mode is supported
• The use of up to 3 PCIe adapters (not counting the OCP adapter) is supported

Field upgrades
The SR650 V2 is orderable without drive bays, allowing you to add a backplane, cabling and controllers as field upgrades. The server also supports upgrading some configurations by adding additional front drive bays (for example, upgrading from 8 to 16x 2.5-inch drive bays).
Upgrade path: The key criteria for upgrade support is to ensure that the target configuration is one of the supported drive bay configurations as listed in the Supported drive bay combinations section.
For example, if you are upgrading a 2.5-inch drive configuration from Config A to Config B, you will need these additional options:

• 4XH7A60930, ThinkSystem V3 2U 8×2.5″ SAS/SATA Backplane Option Kit
• 4X97A80413, ThinkSystem SR650 V2 2.5″ Chassis Front BP2 SAS/SATA Cable Kit v2 or
• 4X97A59811, ThinkSystem SR650 V2 2.5″ Chassis Front BP2 SAS/SATA Cable Kit

To add drive bays you will need to order both drive backplanes and cable kits. Backplane kits do not include cables.
Topics in this section:

• 3.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades
• 2.5-inch chassis drive bay upgrades
• Upgrading to an internal (CFF) adapter

Upgrading to an internal (CFF) adapter
If you want to add an internal (CFF) storage adapter (HBA, RAID adapter or SAS expander) to a configuration, you will need to order the cable kit as listed in the following table. Suitable upgrades are either replacing an existing adapter in a rear PCIe slot, or adding the CFF adapter to a server without any storage adapter installed.
The cable kits to order is listed in the following table.
Tip: 4X97A80419 and 4X97A59817 offer identical functionality.
Table 29. Cable kit when upgrading to an Internal HBA/RAID adapter

• ThinkSystem Single CPU SR650 V2 Internal RAID Adapter Cable Kit https://serveroption.lenovo.com/cable_kit_options/cable_kit_sr650_v2_cff_internal_adapter_cablekit_1cpu

When adding drive bays, you will also need to add the appropriate storage controller(s). Consult the tables in the Controller selections section to determine what controller sections are supported and what additional controllers you will need. Controllers are described in the Controllers for internal storage section.
RAID flash power module (supercap) support
If you plan to add one of the RAID adapters that includes a RAID flash power module (supercap) as a field upgrade, then you may also need to order a Supercap installation kit for the supercap, depending on the location where the supercap will be installed. For CTO orders, the components needed are automatically derived when you select the RAID adapter. The adapters which include a supercap are indicated in the table in the Controllers for internal storage section.
The location of the supercaps depends on the mid-chassis drive cage used in the server, as shown in the following table.
Table 30. Supercap support

Mid drive cage| Supercaps supported| Location of supercaps| Supercap holder
---|---|---|---
No mid drive cage| 4| Mounted on the air baffle| Not needed
2.5-inch drives| 2| Mounted on the left side of the mid drive cage| Included with mid drive cage
3.5-inch drives| 2| Mounted under the system fan cage| Order separately for field upgrades (see following table)

When adding a RAID adapter as a field upgrade to a configuration with 3.5-inch mid drive bays, order one supercap holder. Ordering information is in the following table.
Table 31. Supercap holder for 3.5-inch mid drive bay config

M.2 drives
The SR650 V2 supports one or two M.2 form-factor SATA or NVMe drives for use as an operating system boot solution or as additional storage.
The M.2 drives install into an M.2 module which is mounted horizontally in the server:

• In servers without mid-chassis drives, the M.2 module is mounted on the air baffle
• With a mid-chassis drive cage (2.5-inch or 3.5-inch), the M.2 module is mounted on the drive cage, as shown in the Mid drive bays section.

There are three different M.2 modules supported, as listed in the following table.
Table 32. M.2 modules

7mm drives
The SR650 V2 supports two 7mm drives, either both SATA or both NVMe, at the rear of the server. These drives go in place of either PCIe slot 3 or PCIe slot 6 as shown in the following figure.For CTO orders, use the ordering information in the following table for the 7mm drive bays. In the DCSC configurator, you specify which PCIe riser the 7mm drives should be installed in (Riser 1 for slot 3 or Riser 2 for slot 6) by specifying riser feature code B8LQ either for Riser 1 or for Riser 2.
Table 34. 7mm rear drive bays (CTO)

7mm drive bays
B8P2| ThinkSystem 2U 7mm Drive Kit w/ SATA RAID| 1
B8P3| ThinkSystem 2U 7mm Drive Kit w/ NVMe RAID| 1
Riser needed for 7mm drive support (used in Riser 1 or Riser 2)
BFK1| ThinkSystem 2U MS 2FH+7mm SSD Riser1 Cage| 1
BFPC| ThinkSystem 2U MS 2FH+7mm SSD Riser2 Cage| 1
BABW| ThinkSystem 2U MS 7mm SSD Riser2 Cage| 1

Configuration rules for 7mm drives:

• For server models with 8x PCIe slots or a 4x 2.5-inch rear drives, a 2FH+7mm SSD drive cage (BFK1 or BFPC) can be installed on slot 3 or slot 6, but not both at the same time.
• For server models with a 8x 2.5-inch or 2x 3.5-inch rear drive cage, one of the 7mm drive cages can be installed:
  • 2FH+7mm SSD drive cage: slot 3 (BFK1)
  • 7mm SSD drive cage: slot 6 (BABW)
• For server models with a 4x 3.5-inch rear drive cage or with a GPU installed, a 7mm drive cage can be installed only on slot 6 (BABW). The 7mm drives are not supported in slot 3 due to cabling restrictions.
• For server models with a 4x 3.5-inch rear drive cage + mid-chassis drive bays, 7mm drives are not supported. This is because the mid-chassis backplane requires Riser 2 for power so slot 6 cannot be used for 7mm drives, and the 7mm drives are not supported in slot 3 due to cabling restrictions when 4x 3.5-inch rear drives are selected. This means that neither slot 3 nor slot 6 can be used for the 7mm drives; therefore 7mm drives are not supported.

For field upgrades, using the following ordering information. The kits include two cages for use depending on your PCIe slot configuration. The cages are for either Riser 1 or Riser 2.

Controllers for internal storage
The SR650 V2 offers a variety of controller options for internal drives:

• For 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives:
  • Onboard SATA ports with software RAID support (Intel VROC SATA RAID, formerly known as Intel RSTe)
  • Onboard NVMe ports with software RAID support (Intel VROC NVMe RAID)
  • RAID adapters and HBAs for SAS/SATA drives (PCIe slot-based)
  • RAID adapters and HBAs for SAS/SATA drives (cabled in a dedicated space)
• For 7mm drive bays in the rear of the server (see the 7mm drives section)
  • SATA controller integrated into the 7mm drive bay enclosure
  • NVMe controller integrated into the 7mm drive bay enclosure
• For M.2 drives internal to the server (see M.2 drives section)
  • SATA controller integrated on the M.2 SATA 2-Bay RAID Enablement Kit
  • NVMe controller integrated on the M.2 NVMe 2-Bay RAID Enablement Kit

As well as supporting RAID adapters and HBAs that install in a PCIe slot, the SR650 V2 with 2.5-inch front drive bays supports a custom adapter that is mounted in the server and cabled to one of the onboard NVMe ports. The HBA 440-16i Internal Adapter and RAID 940-16i Internal Adapter are mounted behind the front 2.5-inch drive bays. These Internal Adapters are not supported with 3.5-inch front drives due to a lack of physical space.
The following table lists the adapters used for the internal storage of the server.
Tip: As the table indicates, most adapters are only supported in slots 1, 2, or 3 (riser 1) when 3.5-inch drive bays are configured for the front drive bays. This is due to cable length requirements.

• Only supported with 2.5-inch front drive bays. Not supported in configurations with 3.5-inch front drive bays.
  † Adapter also supports PCIe 4.0 x1 connectivity to NVMe drives (requires NVMe drives with U.3 interface)
  ‡ Internal adapters (CFF) do not occupy any of the rear slots.

Configuration notes:

• Supercap support limits the number of RAID adapters installable : The table lists whether the adapter includes a power module (supercap) to power the flash memory. The server supports between 1 and 4 supercaps depending on the server configuration as described in the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section. The number of supercaps supported also determines the maximum number of RAID adapters with flash that can be installed in the server.

• Field upgrades: If you are adding a RAID adapter with supercap to the server as a field upgrade, you may need a supercap holder as described in the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section.

• 7mm drive support: The storage adapters listed in the table below do not provide connectivity to the
  7mm drive bays that are optionally available at the rear of the server. The 7mm drives have their own independent RAID controller. See the 7mm drives section for details.

• E810 Ethernet and X350 RAID/HBAs: The use of both an Intel E810 network adapter and an X350 HBA/RAID adapter (9350, 5350 and 4350) is currently not supported in ThinkSystem servers. For details see Support Tip HT513226. Planned support for this combination of adapters is 4Q/2023 (SI 23-2).

The RAID 940-8i and RAID 940-16i adapters also support NVMe through a feature named Tri-Mode support (or Trimode support). This feature enables the use of NVMe U.3 drives at the same time as SAS and SATA drives.
Tri-Mode requires an AnyBay backplane. Cabling of the controller to the backplanes is the same as with SAS/SATA drives, and the NVMe drives are connected via a PCIe x1 link to the controller.
NVMe drives connected using Tri-Mode support provide better performance than SAS or SATA drives: A SATA SSD has a data rate of 6Gbps, a SAS SSD has a data rate of 12Gbps, whereas an NVMe U.3 Gen 4 SSD with a PCIe x1 link will have a data rate of 16Gbps. NVMe drives typically also have lower latency and higher IOPS compared to SAS and SATA drives. Tri-Mode is supported with U.3 NVMe drives in either 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch form factor and requires an AnyBay backplane.
Tri-Mode requires U.3 drives: Only NVMe drives with a U.3 interface are supported. U.2 drives are not supported. See the Internal drive options section for the U.3 drives supported by the server.

The onboard SATA controller has the following features:

• Controller integrated into the Intel PCH
• 6 Gbps SATA host interface
• Supports up to 14 SATA drives
• Supports RAID-0, 1, 5, 10 (Intel VROC SATA RAID, previously known as RSTe)
• Supports JBOD
• Supports HDDs and SSDs; can be mixed

The onboard NVMe support has the following features:

• Controller integrated into the Intel processor
• Supports up to 12 NVMe drives direct connected to onboard ports; additional drives through retimer/switch adapters
• Each drive has PCIe 4.0 x4 host interface
• Supports JBOD – Intel and non-Intel NVMe SSDs – no license required
• Supports RAID-0, 1, 5, 10 (Intel VROC NVMe RAID) – Intel NVMe SSDs only unless VROC Premium license is installed
• VROC Premium also extends to any drives connected via an NVMe Adapter (switch or retimer)

Intel VROC onboard RAID
Intel VROC (Virtual RAID on CPU) is a feature of the Intel processor that enables RAID support.
There are two separate functions of VROC in the SR650 V2:

• Intel VROC SATA RAID, formerly known as Intel RSTe
• Intel VROC NVMe RAID

VROC SATA RAID (RSTe) is available and supported with all SATA drives, both SATA SSDs and SATA HDDs.
It offers a 6 Gb/s connection to each drive and on the SR650 V2 implements RAID levels 0, 1, 5, and 10. RAID 1 is limited to 2 drives per array, and RAID 10 is limited to 4 drives per array. Hot-spare functionality is also supported.
VROC NVMe RAID offers RAID support for any NVMe drives directly connected to the ports on the server’s system board or via adapters such as NVMe retimers or NVMe switch adapters. On the SR650 V2, it implements RAID levels 0, 1, 10 and optionally RAID 5. RAID 1 is limited to 2 drives per array, and RAID 10 is limited to 4 drives per array. Hot-spare functionality is also supported.
Performance tip: For best performance with VROC NVMe RAID, the drives in an array should all be connected to the same processor. Spanning processors is possible however performance will be unpredictable and should be evaluated based on your workload.
The SR650 V2 supports the VROC NVMe RAID offerings listed in the following table. The VROC Intel SSD Only offering only supports RAID on Intel branded NVMe SSDs; non-Intel branded NVMe SSDs cannot be configured in a RAID array.
Tip: These feature codes and part numbers are only for VROC RAID using NVMe drives, not SATA drives

The part number(s) listed in the table enables field upgrades. These are fulfilled as a Feature on Demand (FoD) license and is activated via the XCC management processor user interface.
Virtualization support: Virtualization support for Intel VROC is as follows:

• VROC SATA RAID (RSTe): VROC SATA RAID is not supported by virtualization hypervisors such as ESXi, KVM, Xen, and Hyper-V. Virtualization is only supported on the onboard SATA ports in AHCI (non-RAID) mode.
• VROC (VMD) NVMe RAID: VROC (VMD) NVMe RAID is supported by ESXi, KVM, Xen, and Hyper-V. ESXi support is limited to RAID 1 only; other RAID levels are not supported. Windows and Linux OSes support VROC RAID NVMe, both for host boot functions and for guest OS function, and RAID-0, 1, 5, and 10 are supported.

USB memory key
For general portable storage needs, the server also supports the USB memory key option that is listed in the following table.
Table 60. USB memory key

Internal backup units
The server does not supports any internal backup units, such as tape drives or RDX drives. External backup units are available as described in the External backup units section.
Optical drives
The server supports the external USB optical drive listed in the following table.
Table 61. External optical drive

The drive is based on the Lenovo Slim DVD Burner DB65 drive and supports the following formats: DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-ROM, DVD-R DL, CD-RW, CD-R, CD-ROM.
I/O expansion
The SR650 V2 supports a total of up to 8 PCIe 4.0 slots, all full-height and all with rear access, plus a dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slot for networking. Slot availability is based on riser selection. The use of slots 4, 5 and 6 require that both processors be installed.
The slots are provided by riser cards:

• Riser 1: Slots 1, 2 and 3 (CPU 1)
• Riser 2: Slots 4, 5, and 6 (CPU 2)
• Riser 3: Slot 7 and 8
  • With 2 CPUs installed, Slot 7 connects to CPU 1, Slot 8 to CPU 2
  • With 1 CPU installed, Slots 7 and 8 both connect to CPU 1

Topics in this section:

• Slot configurations
• Serial port
• Field upgrades

Slot configurations
The slots in each riser are either PCIe 4.0 x16 or PCIe 4.0 x8 depending on the riser card selected as listed in the table below. All x8 slots are physically x16 slots. Riser 1 and Riser 2 are also available with PCIe 3.0 adapter slots, using a lower-cost PCIe 3.0 riser, if desired.
The use of Riser 3 has the following requirements:

• No rear drive bays configured
• With 2 CPU installed:
  • At most 4x onboard NVMe (OB NVMe) connections
• With 1 CPU installed:
  • No onboard NVMe connections are available
  • With the x8/x8 PCIe G4 Riser3 (BHZX) selected, Slots 7 and 8 are both connected each with x8 lanes
  • With the x16/x16 PCIe G4 Riser3 (BHZY) selected, Slot 7 is connected with x16 lanes; Slot 8 is not connected

As discussed in the Internal storage section, the server supports drive bays in the rear of the server. Depending on the drive bays selected, the number of slots available for adapters is reduced. The figure below shows the supported combinations of slots and drive bays.
Tip: For configurations with 2.5-inch front drive bays, an internal RAID adapter or HBA can be installed in a dedicated space and cabled to a PCIe 4.0 x8 connector, thereby freeing up a slot for other purposes.
The following figure shows the locations of the rear-accessible slots for each configuration selection. The OCP slot in located in the lower-left corner. The use of Riser 2 requires that two CPUs be installed.The following table lists the riser slots available for CTO builds.
Tip: It is also possible to not have any slot selections, in which case slot fillers will be derived in the configurator. Slots can be added later as field upgrades using option part numbers as listed in the Field upgrades section.

• All PCIe x8 slots are physically x16 slots
  † Slot 8 is not connected if only 1 processor installed and the x16/x16 PCIe G4 Riser3 (BHZY) is used

Serial port
The SR650 V2 optionally supports a RS-232 serial port by adding a COM port bracket to either slot 3 or slot 6. Ordering information is shown in the following table.
Table 63. Serial port

The bracket is shown in the following figure.Serial port configuration rules:

• For server models with 8x PCIe slots or a 4x 2.5-inch rear drive cage:
  • If both riser 1 and riser 2 use the x16/x16/E riser card and a 7mm drive cage is installed on slot 3, then a serial port module can be installed on slot 6.
  • If only one of riser 1 and riser 2 (not both) uses the x16/x16/E riser card, a 7mm drive cage and a serial port module cannot be installed at the same time. If no 7mm drive cage is installed, then a serial port module can be installed on slot 3 or slot 6.
  • If neither of riser 1 and riser 2 use the x16/x16/E riser card, no serial port module is supported.
• For server models with a 8 x 2.5-inch/2 x 3.5-inch rear drive cage:
  • If riser 1 uses the x16/x16/E riser card, a serial port module can be installed on slot 3 and a 7mm SSD cage can be installed on slot 6.
  • If riser 1 does not use the x16/x16/E riser card, a 7mm drive cage and a serial port module cannot be installed at the same time. If no 7mm drive cage is installed, then a serial port module can be installed on slot 6.
• For server models with a 4 x 3.5-inch rear drive cage, a 7mm drive cage and a serial port module cannot be installed at the same time. If no 7mm drive cage is installed, then a serial port module can be installed on slot 3 or slot 6.

Field upgrades
Slot configurations can also be ordered as field upgrades using option part numbers, as listed in the following table.
Tip: If you want to add both a 7mm drive enclosure plus PCIe slots in slot 4 and 5, you will need to order the 7mm drive option (either 4XH7A61057 or 4XH7A61058) plus the x16/x16/E PCIe G4 Riser 1/2 Kit, 4XH7A61081. The latter part number provides the 2-slot riser card.

Such a configuration ensures extremely low latency and CPU utilization in addition to higher network throughput. Socket Direct also maximizes AI and ML application performance, as it enables native GPU-Direct Technologies.
• Mellanox ConnectX-6 HDR/200GbE VPI adapter requirements:
  • Performance fans are required
  • When the adapter is used with active optical cables (AOC) in the 12x 3.5-inch or 24x 2.5-inch configuration, ensure that the ambient temperature must be limited to 30°C or lower. This configuration might lead to high acoustic noise and is  recommended to be placed in industrial data center, not office environment.
  • When the adapter and GPU adapters are used at the same time, follow the thermal rules for GPU adapters.
• Xilinx Alveo U50 Data Center Accelerator Adapter requirements:
  • Supported with ambient temperatures up to 30 °C
  • Not supported with 24x 2.5-inch or 12x 3.5-inch front drive bays
  • Performance fans are required
  • Fan are not redundant
  • Not supported with the VMware ESXi preload
• Ambient temperatures: For additional ambient temperature requirements, see the Thermal Rules section in the Information Center for the SR650 V2: https://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/SR650V2/thermal_rules.html?cp=4_11_7_2_1
• E810 Ethernet and X350 RAID/HBAs: The use of both an Intel E810 network adapter and an X350 HBA/RAID adapter (9350, 5350 and 4350) is currently not supported in ThinkSystem servers. For details
  see Support Tip HT513226. Planned support for this combination of adapters is 4Q/2023 (SI 23-2).

DPU adapter
The SR650 V2 supports the new VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine (DSE) using the NVIDIA Bluefield-2 SmartNIC Data Processing Unit (DPU). This solution improves the performance of VMware vSphere by offloading tasks from server CPUs to the DPU thereby making data center applications more efficient.
VMware vSphere Distributed Services Engine is only available in CTO builds using the following DPU-specific models:

• 7Z73CTOAWW (3-year warranty)
• 7Z72CTO2WW (1-year warranty)

The DSE solution comprises of two primary components:

• NVIDIA BlueField-2 full-height half-length (FHHL) PCIe adapter (feature BRPK)
• OCP adapter to provide the necessary NC-SI connectivity to the XCC management processor of the server (feature BSH7)

The NVIDIA Bluefield-2 DPU has 8x ARM processor cores, 32GB onboard DDR4 ECC memory, and 2x 25GbE SFP56 ports. The purpose-built hardware-acceleration engines, embedded crypto and secure boot capabilities, and a software stack powered by the NVIDIA DOCA framework provide breakthrough data center performance, efficiency and security for software-defined storage, networking, and management of workloads.

• When a double-wide GPU is installed in slot 2, 5 or 7, the adjacent slot 1, 4 and 8 respectively is not available
  † Tesla V100S only supported with base model 7Z73CTOLWW (HPC & AI) – see the Models section for details
  For information about these GPUs, see the ThinkSystem GPU Summary, available at: https://lenovopress.com/lp0768-thinksystem-thinkagile-gpu-summary
  For CTO orders, the SR650 V2 also supports the selection of a “virtual GPU” or placeh lder GPU. This selection allows for “GPU ready” configurations; It ensures that the server ships with the components needed for GPU installation (GPU power cables, air ducts, power supplies, fans, etc) without actually including the GPUs themselves. The following table lists the ordering information for CTO orders.
  Table 70. Virtual GPU ordering information

DW GPUs)

General GPU requirements
General requirements for GPUs are as follows:

• All GPUs installed must be identical.
• The quantity of GPUs supported depends on the following factors:
  • The power of the GPU as listed in the table above.
  • The choice of front drive bays
  • The choice of processor
  • The fans installed (standard or performance)
  • The ambient temperature

For details, see the Thermal Rules section in the Information Center for the SR650 V2: https://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/SR650V2/thermal_rules.html?cp=4_11_7_2_1
Some NVIDIA A Series GPUs are available as two feature codes, one with a CEC chip and one without a CEC chip (ones without the CEC chip have “w/o CEC” in the name). The CEC is a secondary Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) module that provides an additional layer of security, which can be used by customers who have high regulatory requirements or high security standards. NVIDIA uses a multi-layered security model and hence the protection offered by the primary Root of Trust embedded in the GPU is expected to be sufficient for most customers. The CEC defeatured products still offer Secure Boot, Secure Firmware Update, Firmware Rollback Protection, and In-Band Firmware Update Disable. Specifically, without the CEC chip, the GPU does not support Key Revocation or Firmware Attestation. CEC and non-CEC GPUs of the same type of GPU can be mixed in field upgrades.
Riser selections for double-wide GPUs
When a double-wide GPU is installed in slot 2, 5 or 7, the adjacent slot 1, 4 and 8 respectively is not available.
The riser cards listed in the following table are used with double-wide GPUs.
Table 71. Risers needed for double-wide GPUs

NVIDIA A10 requirements
Slot selection for the NVIDIA A10 GPU is as follows:

• With 1 processor installed, up to 2x A10 GPUs can be installed in slots 1 and 2:

  • 1x A10 GPU: Install in slot 1; slot 2 can support any adapter except a 100GbE adapter
  • 2x A10 GPUs: Install in slots 1 and 2

• With 2 processors installed, up to 4x A10 GPUs can be installed in slots 1, 2, 5, 7, or 8, as follows:

  • 1x A10 GPU: Install in slot 1; slot 2 can support any adapter except a 100GbE adapter*
  • 2x A10 GPUs: Install in slots 1 and 4; slots 2 and 5 can support any adapter except a 100GbE adapter*
  • 3x A10 GPUs: Install in slots 1, 4, 5; slot 2 can support any adapter except a 100GbE adapter*
  • 4x A10 GPUs: Install in slots 1, 4, 7, 8

• The 100GbE adapters that are not supported in slots 2 and 5 adjacent to A10 GPUs are as follows:

  • ThinkSystem Broadcom 57508 100GbE QSFP56 2-port PCIe 4 Ethernet Adapter, 4XC7A08297
  • ThinkSystem Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx 100GbE QSFP56 2-port PCIe Ethernet Adapter, 4XC7A08248

  • ThinkSystem Xilinx Alveo U50 Data Center Accelerator Adapter, 4XC7A76757

The following figure shows the slot numbers and riser zones.When installing A10 GPUs, one or more GPU extend air ducts may be required to be installed in the riser zones to help route the proper airflow into the GPU, as follows. The extend air ducts are derived by the configurator for CTO builds, or are part of the GPU Thermal Option Kit for field upgrades.

• 1x A10 GPU installed in slot 1: Riser zone 1 requires an extend air duct
• 2x A10 GPUs installed in slots 1 and 2: No extend air ducts are required
• 2x A10 GPUs installed in slots 1 and 4: Riser zones 1 and 2 require an extend air duct
• 3x A10 GPUs installed in slots 1, 4, 5: Riser zone 1 requires an extend air duct
• 4x A10 GPUs installed in slots 1, 4, 7, 8: Riser zones 1 and 2 require an extend air duct
• GPU extend air ducts are required as described above, even if other adapter types are installed in slots 2, 5 or 8.

GPU Thermal Option Kit
When installing an NVIDIA A10 GPU or any double-wide GPU as a field upgrade, you will also need to order the Thermal Option Kit as listed in the following table. This kit is not required for the NVIDIA T4 or P620 GPUs.

GPU cable kits
The following cable kits are offered to provide auxiliary power cables for GPUs that require one. See the Supported GPUs table to see which GPUs require an auxiliary power cable.
Configuration notes:

• These cable kits are only required for field upgrades; CTO orders will automatically include any required cables.
• These cable kits are only required if you are adding additional GPUs to a server that already has a GPU installed from a CTO order. If you are doing a field upgrade to install the first GPU to a server, order the GPU Thermal Option Kit instead. The GPU Thermal Option Kit includes the necessary power cables.

  https://lenovopress.com/lp1288#sr650-v2-support=SR650%20V2&internal-or- external- ports=External
  The RAID 930-8e and 940-8e use a flash power module (supercap), which can be installed in one of up to four locations in the server depending on the server configuration. See the RAID flash power module (supercap) support section for details. The number of 930/940-8e RAID adapters supported is based on how many supercaps can be installed in the server. If an internal 930i RAID adapter with flash power modules is installed, the maximum number of 930-8e adapters supported is reduced by 1.

Flash storage adapters
All supported flash storage adapters are now withdrawn from marketing.

Cooling

The SR650 V2 server has up to six 60 mm hot-swap variable-speed fans. Five fans are needed when one processor is installed and six fans are required when two processors are installed. Fans are N+1 redundant, tolerating a single- rotor failure. The server also has one or two additional fans integrated in each of the two power supplies.
Depending on the configuration, the server supports one of the following:

• Standard fans (single-rotor, 17K RPM, 60×38 mm)
• Performance fans (dual-rotor, 19K RPM, 60×56 mm).

The performance fans are dual-rotor counter-rotating units, which means that the fans have two separate propellors, one in front of the other, and that the propellors rotate in opposite directions.
For factory (CTO) orders, the configurator will automatically select the fans required for the configuration. For field upgrades, see the Thermal Rules section in the Information Center for the SR650 V2: https://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/SR650V2/thermal_rules.html?cp=4_11_7_2_1
Ordering information for the fans is listed in the following table.
Table 76. Fan ordering information

fan)

Configurations rules:

• With 2 CPUs installed, 6 fans are required
• With 1 CPU installed:
  • Configurations without mid-chassis drives, rear drives, and riser 3 only require 5 fans
  • All other configurations require 6 fans

Power supplies
The SR650 V2 supports up to two redundant hot-swap power supplies.
The power supply choices are listed in the following table. Both power supplies used in server must be identical.
Tip: When configuring a server in the DCSC configurator, power consumption is calculated precisely by interfacing with Lenovo Capacity Planner. You can therefore select the appropriate power supply for your configuration. However, do consider future upgrades that may require additional power needs.

• BPK9 is initially only configurable in PRC and certain countries in the EET and WE markets. Worldwide support is planned in 2Q/2023.
  Dual-voltage power supplies are auto-sensing and support both 110V AC (100-127V 50/60 Hz) and 220V AC (200-240V 50/60 Hz) power. For China customers, all power supplies support 240V DC.
  All supported AC power supplies 1800W or lower have a C14 connector. Above 1800W has a C20 connector.
  The -48V DC power supply has a Weidmuller TOP 4GS/3 7.6 terminal as shown in the following figure.Power supply options do not include a line cord. For server configurations, the inclusion of a power cord is model dependent. Configure-to-order models can be configured without power cords if desired.

Power supply LEDs
The supported hot-swap power supplies have the following LEDs:

• Power input LED:
  • Green: The power supply is connected to the AC power source
  • Off: The power supply is disconnected from the AC power source or a power problem has occurred
• Power output LED:
  • Green: The server is on and the power supply is working normally
  • Blinking green: The power supply is in Zero-output/Standby mode (see below)
  • Off: The server is powered off, or the power supply is not working properly
• Power supply error LED:
  • Off: The power supply is working normally
  • Yellow: The power supply has failed

Zero-output mode: When Zero-output mode (also known as Standby mode or Cold Redundancy mode) is configured in XCC and the server power load is sufficiently low, one of the installed power supplies enters into the Standby state while the other one delivers entire load. When the power load increases, the standby power supply will switch to Active state to provide sufficient power to the server. Zero-output mode can be enabled or disabled in the XClarity Controller web interface, Server Configuration > Power Policy. If you select Disable, then both power supplies will be in the Active state.
Power cords
Line cords and rack power cables with C13 connectors can be ordered as listed in the following table.
110V customers: If you plan to use the 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.

  Platform Firmware Resiliency – Lenovo ThinkShield
  Lenovo’s ThinkShield Security is a transparent and comprehensive approach to security that extends to all dimensions of our data center products: from development, to supply chain, and through the entire product lifecycle.
  The ThinkSystem SR650 V2 includes Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) hardware Root of Trust (RoT) which enables the system to be NIST SP800-193 compliant. This offering further enhances key platform subsystem protections against unauthorized firmware updates and corruption, to restore firmware to an integral state, and to closely monitor firmware for possible compromise from cyber attacks.
  PFR operates upon the following server components:

  • UEFI image – the low-level server firmware that connects the operating system to the server hardware
  • XCC image – the management “engine” software that controls and reports on the server status separate from the server operating system
  • FPGA image – the code that runs the server’s lowest level hardware controller on the motherboard

The Lenovo Platform Root of Trust Hardware performs the following three main functions:

• Detection – Measures the firmware and updates for authenticity
• Recovery – Recovers a corrupted image to a known-safe image
• Protection – Monitors the system to ensure the known-good firmware is not maliciously written

These enhanced protection capabilities are implemented using a dedicated, discrete security processor whose implementation has been rigorously validated by leading third-party security firms. Security evaluation results and design details are available for customer review – providing unprecedented transparency and assurance.
The SR650 V2 includes support for Secure Boot, a UEFI firmware security feature developed by the UEFI Consortium that ensures only immutable and signed software are loaded during the boot time. The use of Secure Boot helps prevent malicious code from being loaded and helps prevent attacks, such as the installation of rootkits. Lenovo offers the capability to enable secure boot in the factory, to ensure end-to-end protection.
Alternatively, Secure Boot can be left disabled in the factory, allowing the customer to enable it themselves at a later point, if desired.
The following table lists the relevant feature code(s).
Table 89. Secure Boot options

with Secure Boot enabled.
CTO only| B0MK| Enable TPM 2.0| Configure the system without Secure Boot enabled. Customers can enable Secure Boot later if desired.

Tip: If Secure Boot is not enabled in the factory, it can be enabled later by the customer. However once Secure Boot is enabled, it cannot be disabled.
