Features
Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities ere key considerations in the design of the
server. These design features make it possible for you to customize the system hard are to meet your needs
today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future.
Your server implements the follo ing features and technologies:
• Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC)
The Lenovo XClarity Controller is the common management controller for Lenovo Lenovo ThinkSystem
server hard are. The Lenovo XClarity Controller consolidates multiple management functions in a single
chip on the server system board.
Chapter 1.Introduction 3

Some of the features that are unique to the Lenovo XClarity Controller are enhanced performance, higher-
resolution remote video, and expanded security options. For additional information about the Lenovo
XClarity Controller, see:
http://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/com.lenovo.systems.management.xcc.doc/product_page.html
• UEFI-compliant server firmware
Lenovo ThinkSystem firm are is Unified Extensible Firm are Interface (UEFI) 2.5 compliant. UEFI
replaces BIOS and defines a standard interface bet een the operating system, platform firm are, and
external devices.
Lenovo ThinkSystem servers are capable of booting UEFI-compliant operating systems, BIOS-based
operating systems, and BIOS-based adapters as ell as UEFI-compliant adapters.
Note: The server does not support DOS (Disk Operating System).
• Large system-memory capacity
The server supports registered DIMMs (RDIMMs), load-reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs), three-dimensional
stack registered DIMMs (3DS RDIMMs) and DC Persistent Memory Modules (DCPMMs). For more
information about the specific types and maximum amount of memory, see “Specifications” on page 5.
• Flexible network support
The server has a connector for the LOM adapter, hich provides t o or four net ork connectors for
net ork support.
• Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
This integrated security chip performs cryptographic functions and stores private and public secure keys.
It provides the hard are support for the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) specification. You can
do nload the soft are to support the TCG specification.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) has t o versions - TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0. You can change the TPM
version from 1.2 to 2.0 and back again.
For more information on TPM configurations, see “Enable TPM/TCM” in the Maintenance Manual.
Note: For customers in the Chinese Mainland, a Lenovo-qualified TPM 2.0 adapter or a Trusted
Cryptographic Module (TCM) adapter (sometimes called a daughter card) may be pre-installed.
• Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability
The server models support a maximum of fourteen 3.5-inch hot-s ap SAS/SATA storage drives or a
maximum of t enty-four 2.5-inch hot-s ap SAS/SATA/NVMe storage drives.
With the hot-s ap feature, you can add, remove, or replace drives ithout turning off the server.
• Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information about the light
path diagnostics, see:
– “Front I/O assembly” on page 24
– “Rear vie LEDs” on page 29
– “System board LEDs” on page 33
• Mobile access to Lenovo Service Information website
The server provides a QR code on the system service label, hich is on the cover of the server, that you
can scan using a QR code reader and scanner ith a mobile device to get quick access to the Lenovo
Service Information ebsite. The Lenovo Service Information ebsite provides additional information for
parts installation and replacement videos, and error codes for server support.
4ThinkSystem SR650 Setup Guide

• Redundant networking connection
The Lenovo XClarity Controller provides failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection ith the
applicable application installed. If a problem occurs ith the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet
traffic that is associated ith the primary connection is automatically s itched to the optional redundant
Ethernet connection. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this s itching occurs ithout data loss
and ithout user intervention.
• Redundant cooling and optional power capabilities
The server supports a maximum of t o hot-s ap po er supplies and six hot-s ap fans, hich provide
redundancy for a typical configuration. The redundant cooling by the fans in the server enables continued
operation if one of the fans fails.

information, see “Install a GPU ith the GPU thermal
kit” on page 165.
Notes:
• For server models ithout GPU installed, select the standard air baffle.
• Before installing the large-size air baffle, ensure that the height of the installed heat sinks is 1U to leave
adequate space for installing the large-size air baffle.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is a centralized, resource-management solution that simplifies infrastructure
management, speeds responses, and enhances the availability of Lenovo server systems and solutions. It
Chapter 1.Introduction 5

runs as a virtual appliance that automates discovery, inventory, tracking, monitoring, and provisioning for
server, net ork, and storage hard are in a secure environment.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides a central interface to perform the follo ing functions for all managed
endpoints:
• Manage and monitor hardware. Lenovo XClarity Administrator provides agent-free hard are
management. It can automatically discover manageable endpoints, including server, net ork, and storage
hard are. Inventory data is collected for managed endpoints for an at-a-glance vie of the managed
hard are inventory and status.
• Configuration management. You can quickly provision and pre-provision all of your servers using a
consistent configuration. Configuration settings (such as local storage, I/O adapters, boot settings,
firm are, ports, and Lenovo XClarity Controller and UEFI settings) are saved as a server pattern that can
be applied to one or more managed servers. When the server patterns are updated, the changes are
automatically deployed to the applied servers.
• Firmware compliance and updates. Firm are management is simplified by assigning firm are-
compliance policies to managed endpoints. When you create and assign a compliance policy to managed
endpoints, Lenovo XClarity Administrator monitors changes to the inventory for those endpoints and flags
any endpoints that are out of compliance.
When an endpoint is out of compliance, you can use Lenovo XClarity Administrator to apply and activate
firm are updates for all devices in that endpoint from a repository of firm are updates that you manage.
• Operating System deployment. You can use Lenovo XClarity Administrator to manage a repository of
operating-system images and to deploy operating-system images to up to 28 managed servers
concurrently.
• Service and support. Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be set up to collect and send diagnostic files
automatically to your preferred service provider hen certain serviceable events occur in Lenovo XClarity
Administrator and the managed endpoints. You can choose to send diagnostic files to Lenovo Support
using Call Home or to another service provider using SFTP. You can also manually collect diagnostic files,
open a problem record, and send diagnostic files to the Lenovo Support Center.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator can be integrated into external, higher-level management and automation
platforms through open REST application programming interfaces (APIs). Using the REST APIs, Lenovo
XClarity Administrator can easily integrate ith your existing management infrastructure. In addition, you can
automate tasks using the Po erShell toolkit or the Python toolkit.

Lenovo XClarity Integrator
Lenovo also provides the follo ing integrators that you can use to manage Lenovo servers from higher-level
management tools:
• Lenovo XClarity Integrator for VM are vCenter
• Lenovo XClarity Integrator Microsoft System Center
