multiple CPU cores for processing as the system load varies. Intel DLB also restores the order of
networking data packets processed simultaneously on CPU cores.
Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel DSA)
Drive high performance for storage, networking, and data-intensive workloads by improving
streaming data movement and transformation operations. Intel Data Streaming Accelerator (Intel
DSA) is designed to offload the most common data movement tasks that cause overhead in data
center-scale deployments. Intel DSA helps speed up data movement across the CPU, memory, and
caches, as well as all attached memory, storage, and network devices.

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 Server 15

 Intel In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel IAA)
Run database and analytics workloads faster, with potentially greater power efficiency. Intel In-
Memory Analytics Accelerator (Intel IAA) increases query throughput and decreases the memory
footprint for in-memory database and big data analytics workloads. Intel IAA is ideal for in-memory
databases, open source databases and data stores like RocksDB, Redis, Cassandra, and MySQL.
4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors also support a separate and encrypted memory space, known as
the SGX Enclave, for use by Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX). The size of the SGX Enclave
supported varies by processor model. Intel SGX offers hardware-based memory encryption that isolates
specific application code and data in memory. It allows user-level code to allocate private regions of
memory (enclaves) which are designed to be protected from processes running at higher privilege levels.
The following table summarizes the key features of all supported processors in the SR860 V3.

Two-processor configurations
The SR860 V3 can be used with only two processors installed. Most core functions of the server (including
the XClarity Controller) are connected to processors 1 and 2 as shown in the System architecture section.
With only two processors, the server has the following capabilities:
32 memory DIMMs for an 8TB maximum
11 slots are available - see I/O expansion options for details
Riser 1: slots 3, 6, 8
Riser 2: slots 11, 14
Riser 3: slots 15, 18, 20
Support for only 2x DW GPUs or 4x SW GPUs
Up to 8x NVMe drives

Thermal requirement by processor

The following thermal requirements apply to the SR860 V3:
Servers with DW GPUs and full-length adapters: Processors with TDP 270W or lower
The use of full-length PCIe adapter (for example double-wide GPUs) requires the use of the lower-height
winged heatsink for the rear processors. These heatsinks limit the processors to 270W TDP or less.

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 Server 16

UEFI operating modes
The SR860 V3 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.

Table 8. UEFI operating mode presets in DCSC

Feature code Description
BFYB Operating mode selection for: "Maximum Performance Mode"
BFYC Operating mode selection for: "Minimal Power Mode"
BFYD Operating mode selection for: "Efficiency Favoring Power Savings Mode"
BFYE Operating mode selection for: "Efficiency - Favoring Performance Mode"

The preset modes for the SR860 V3 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 SR860 V3, 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.

9x4 RDIMMs (also known as Optimized or EC4 RDIMMs) are a new lower-cost DDR5 memory option
supported in ThinkSystem V3 servers. 9x4 DIMMs offer the same performance as standard RDIMMs
(known as 10x4 or EC8 modules), however they support lower fault-tolerance characteristics. Standard
RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs support two 40-bit subchannels (that is, a total of 80 bits), whereas 9x4
RDIMMs support two 36-bit subchannels (a total of 72 bits). The extra bits in the subchannels allow
standard RDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs to support Single Device Data Correction (SDDC), however 9x4
RDIMMs do not support SDDC. Note, however, that all DDR5 DIMMs, including 9x4 RDIMMs, support
Bounded Fault correction, which enables the server to correct most common types of DRAM failures.
For more information on DDR5 memory, see the Lenovo Press paper, Introduction to DDR5 Memory,
available from https://lenovopress.com/lp1618.
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
The SR860 V3 only supports quantities of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16 DIMMs per processor; other
quantities not supported
DIMMs operate at up to 4800 MHz at 1 DIMM per channel and up to 4400 MHz at 2 DIMMs per
channel
The server supports three types of DIMMs: 9x4 RDIMMs, RDIMMs, and 3DS RDIMMs; UDIMMs and
LRDIMMs are not supported
Mixing of DIMM types is not supported (9x4 DIMMs with 10x4 RDIMMs, 9x4 DIMMs with 3DS
RDIMMs, 10x4 RDIMMs with 3DS RDIMMs)
The mixing of 128GB 3DS RDIMMs and 256GB 3DS RDIMMs is supported, however all DIMM slots
must be populated evenly: 8x 128GB DIMMs and 8x 256GB DIMMs per processor
Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is not supported
Mixing of DIMM rank counts is supported. Follow the required installation order installing the DIMMs
with the higher rank counts first.
Mixing of DIMM capacities is supported, however only two different capacities are supported across
all channels of the processor. Follow the required installation order installing the larger DIMMs first.
For best performance, consider the following:
Ensure the memory installed is at least the same speed as the memory bus of the selected
processor.
Populate all 8 memory channels.

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 Server 18

The following memory protection technologies are supported:
ECC detection/correction
Bounded Fault detection/correction
SDDC (for x4-based memory DIMMs; look for "x4" in the DIMM description)
ADDDC (for 10x4-based memory DIMMs, not supported with 9x4 DIMMs)
Memory mirroring
See the Lenovo Press article "RAS Features of the Lenovo ThinkSystem Intel Servers" for more information
about memory RAS features: https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1711-ras-features-of-the-lenovo-
thinksystem-intel-servers
If memory channel mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per
processor), and both DIMMs in the pair must be identical in type and size. 50% of the installed capacity is
available to the operating system. Memory rank sparing is not supported.

Internal storage
The SR860 V3 supports up to 48x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays, up to 24 of which can be AnyBay drive
bays instead. All 48x drive bays are hot-swap and all front-accessible. The server also supports internal M.2
drives (one or two, installed in an adapter), or rear-accessible hot-swap 7mm SSDs (installed in a PCIe
slot).

Note: M.2 and 7mm drive support is mutually exclusive, as they both use the same connectors.

Configuration notes:
Supercap support limits the number of RAID adapters installable : RAID 9350 and RAID 940
adapters include and require a power module (supercap) to power the flash memory. The SR860 V3
supports up to 4 supercaps, installed in dedicated holders on the air baffle as shown in the
Components and connectors section. The number of supercaps supported also determines the
maximum number of internal + external RAID 9xx adapters that can be installed in the server.
Field upgrades: The RAID 9xx adapter part numbers include both the supercap and the supercap
cable.
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).

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 SR860 V3:
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 SR860 V3 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 SR860 V3, 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.

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 Server 27

 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 SR860 V3 supports the VROC NVMe RAID offerings listed in the following table. The VROC Standard
offering supports RAID 0, 1, and 10, however RAID 5 is not supported.

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.

3.0 slots with Gen5 interfaces.

Full length adapter support: For full-length adapter support, you must select base BT2K. This Base
selection derives the lower winged heatsinks for the rear processors to enable full-length adapter
support. The standard base (BT2J) only supports half-length and low-profile adapters and cannot be
upgraded in the field to support full-length adapters. See the Models section for more information about
base feature codes.

Riser ordering information

The riser cards supported are listed in the following table. The table also lists the total slots and what type of
slots each riser card includes. All of the x8 slots have a physical x16 connector.

Risers with 7mm drive cages : As listed in the table, some risers include support for two 7mm hot-swap
drive bays installed in Riser 3. The part numbers and feature codes include the cages and cables
needed for the 7mm drive bays, however the 7mm drive bays themselves (backplanes) will need to be
ordered as well. See the 7mm drives section for details.

* It is not recommended to install double-wide GPUs in these configurations due to the mix of Gen4 and
Gen5 slots
** For configurations with support for double-wide GPUs, this is the number of slots remaining available
after the maximum number of GPUs are installed

Physically x16 slots : All of the x8 slots have a physical x16 connector. This means that the slot
mechanically accepts an adapter that has the longer x16 edge connector. However since the slot is
electrically x8, it only has eight PCIe lanes for data transfer and only has the performance of a x8 slot.

Network adapters
The SR860 V3 has two dedicated OCP 3.0 SFF slots with PCIe 5.0 x16 host interfaces. See Figure 3 for
the location of the OCP slots.
The following table lists the supported OCP adapters. One port of each adapter can optionally be shared
with the XCC management processor for Wake-on-LAN and NC-SI support.

The following table lists additional supported network adapters that can be installed in the regular PCIe
slots.

Legacy Option ROM support: The server does not support legacy option boot ROM on PCIe adapters
connected to CPU 3 or 4. See the I/O expansion section for details on which slots connect to each CPU.
For option ROM support, install the adapters in slots connected to CPU 1 or 2, or use UEFI boot mode
on those adapters instead.

Intel E810 adapter support: The Intel E810 PCIe adapters are currently limited to quantity 1 in the
SR860 V3. Support for larger quantities is planned for 4Q/2023.

ports=External
The RAID 940-8e adapter uses a flash power module (supercap) and the server supports up to four
supercaps. The number of 940-8e RAID adapters supported is based on how many supercaps can be
installed in the server. For example, if your configuration uses two RAID 940/9350 adapters for internal
storage, then you can only install two RAID 940-8e adapters, since there is only space for four supercaps
total.

Flash storage adapters

The SR860 V3 currently does not support PCIe Flash Storage adapters.

GPU adapters
The SR860 V3 supports the graphics processing units (GPUs) listed in the following table:

GPU support: For GPU support with CTO orders, you will need to select base BT2K. See the Models
section for details. When adding GPUs to an existing server, the server must already be configured in
the factory with full-length slots and low-profile heatsinks on the rear processors. Field upgrades of the
heatsinks and slots are not available.

For details about these GPUs, see the ThinkSystem and ThinkAgile GPU Summary:
https://lenovopress.com/lp0768-thinksystem-thinkagile-gpu-summary
The following rules apply when using GPUs:
Installed GPUs must be identical
For double-wide GPUs:
Base BT2K is required. See the Models section for details.
Only processors with TDP ≤ 270W are supported
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

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 Server 49

 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.
GPUs other than the NVIDIA A2 require an auxiliary power cable. For all other GPUs, the necessary
auxiliary power cables are automatically selected as part of any factor (CTO) order. However when ordering
these GPUs as field upgrades, you will need to also order the power cable separately. One part number is
needed per GPU.
Ordering information for GPU auxiliary power cables is listed in the following table.

Note: The auxiliary power cable is not required for the NVIDIA A2 GPU

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 Server 50
Cooling
The server has 12 60mm hot-swap dual-rotor variable-speed fans at the front of the server and all 12 fans
are standard in all models. The server offers N+1 redundancy, meaning that one fan can fail and the server
still operates normally.
Each power supply also includes an integrated fan.
The 12 front fans are installed in a 4U-high unit as shown in the following figure. The 12 fans are installed in
six modules in vertical bays, each of which comprise of 2 fans.

Figure 12. SR860 V3 cooling fan modules

When servicing the fan modules, you remove the modules from the top of the unit (hot-swap). Although the
server supports N+1 redundancy (that is, supporting the failure of 1 fan while maintaining server operation),
the server supports the removal of two fans for the time it takes to undertake a fan replacement: remove the
module, replace the fan, reinsert the module.
The following table lists the CTO ordering information for the fan modules.

Power supplies
The server supports up to four redundant hot-swap power supplies. Redundancy can be configured as N+1
or N+N.

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 SR860 V3 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

Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 Server 64

 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 SR860 V3 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.
The following table lists the relevant feature code(s).

Installation restriction - 1100mm racks and the use of the CMA : The SR860 V3 with the cable
management arm (CMA) attached is supported in 1100mm rack cabinets, however there is insufficient
clearance to route any cables between the CMA and the rear door. As a result, if you require cable
access through the lower cable access panel of the rack and you have an SR860 V3 installed at the
bottom position of the rack, then it is not supported to use a CMA with that server. Similarly, if you
require cable access through the upper cable access panel of the rack and you have an SR860 V3
installed at the top position of the rack, then it is not supported to use a CMA with that server. This
limitation does not exist with rack cabinets with 1200mm depth.
