ThinkSystem M.2 Enablement Kit

Specifications

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 is created for your most demanding, mission-critical workloads, such as in-memory databases, large transactional databases, batch and real-time analytics, ERP, CRM, and virtualized server workloads. The powerful 4U ThinkSystem SR950 can grow from two to eight Intel Xeon Scalable Family processors, and with 96 DIMM sockets, supports up to 12 TB of high-speed memory. The modular design of SR950 speeds upgrades and servicing with easy front or rear access to all major subsystems to maximize server availability. Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 is created for your most demanding, mission-critical workloads, such as in-memory databases, large transactional databases, batch and real-time analytics, ERP, CRM, and virtualized server workloads.

• Intelligent and adaptive system
  Performance with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily exceeding processor TDP.
• Intel hyper-threading technology
  Boosts performance for multithreaded applications by enabling simultaneous multithreading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.
• Intel Virtualization Technology
  Integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating system vendors to better use the hardware for virtualization workloads.
• Support
  for up to 96 TruDDR4 DIMMs operating at 2666 MHz means you have the fastest available memory subsystem and memory capacity of up to 12 TB using 96x 128 GB 3DS RDIMMs.
• The use of solid-state drives (SSDs)
  Instead of, or along with, mechanical hard disk drives (HDDs), can improve I/O performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical HDD.
• High-speed RAID controllers
  Provide 12 Gb SAS connectivity to the drive backplanes. A variety of RAID adapters are available, with cache up to 4 TB and support for 12 drives on a single controller.
• Supports a Lenovo-patented M.2 adapter
  Design for convenient operating system boot functions. Available M.2 adapters support either one M.2 drive, or two M.2 drives in a RAID 1 configuration, for the boot drive performance and reliability.
• Flexible slot
  The server has a dedicated flexible LAN-on-motherboard (LOM) slot offering a variety of 10 GbE or Gigabit Ethernet adapters that do not occupy one of the standard PCIe slots.
• The server includes an XClarity Controller (XCC)
  Monitor server availability and perform remote management. XCC Enterprise is included as standard, which enables remote KVM and remote media files (ISO and IMG image files), boot capture, and power capping.
• Lenovo XClarity administrator
  Offers comprehensive hardware management tools that help to increase uptime reduce costs and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities.
• UEFI-based Lenovo XClarity provisioning manager
  Accessible from F1 during boot, provides system inventory information, graphical UEFI Setup, platform update function, RAID Setup wizard, operating system installation function, and diagnostic functions.
• Support for Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager
  Which captures real-time power and temperature data from the server and provides automated controls to lower energy costs.
• Integrated trusted platform module (TPM) 2.0
  Support enables advanced cryptographic functionality, such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
• Supports secure boot
  Ensure that only a digitally signed operating system can be used. Supported with HDDs and SSDs as well as M.2 drives in the M.2 Adapter.
• Industry-standard advanced encryption standard (AES) NI support for faster and stronger encryption
  Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined with a supported operating system.
  Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in own isolated space, protected from all other software running on a system.
• Energy-efficient planar
  Components help lower operational costs.
• Reduces energy draw
  Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to reduce energy draw.
• Low-voltage 1.2 V DDR4 memory
  Offers energy savings compared to 1.35 V and 1.5 V DDR3 DIMMs.
• Solid-state drives (SSDs)
  Consume less power than mechanical 2.5-inch HDDs.
• Efficient airflow
  The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, which can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system.
• Advanced data center
  Optional Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager provide advanced data center power notification, analysis, and policy-based management to help achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs.
