system uptime.
The Dual M.2 Boot Adapter supports RAID-1 which enables two installed M.2 drives to be configured
as a redundant pair.
The server has up to two hot-swap redundant power supplies and six hot-swap redundant fans to
provide availability for business-critical applications.
The power-source-independent light path diagnostics uses LEDs to lead the technician to failed (or
failing) components, which simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve
system availability.
The optional LCD system information display panel provides more detailed diagnostics by displaying
all error messages and VPD data needed for a service call, thereby aiding with problem resolution
and system uptime.
Proactive Platform Alerts (including PFA and SMART alerts): Processors, voltage regulators,
memory, internal storage (SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs, NVMe SSDs, M.2 storage, flash storage
adapters), fans, power supplies, RAID controllers, server ambient and subcomponent temperatures.
Alerts can be surfaced through the XClarity Controller to managers such as Lenovo XClarity
Administrator, VMware vCenter, and Microsoft System Center. These proactive alerts let you take
appropriate actions in advance of possible failure, thereby increasing server uptime and application
availability.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) offer more reliability than traditional mechanical HDDs for greater uptime.
The built-in XClarity Controller continuously monitors system parameters, triggers alerts, and
performs recovery actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.
Built-in diagnostics in UEFI, using Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, speed up troubleshooting
tasks to reduce service time.
Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager collects and saves service data to USB key drive or remote
CIFS share folder, for troubleshooting and to reduce service time.

Memory options
The SR850 server supports TruDDR4 memory. TruDDR4 memory uses the highest-quality components
sourced from Tier 1 DRAM suppliers and only memory that meets strict tolerances is selected. It is
compatibility tested and tuned to maximize performance and reliability.
TruDDR4 memory has a unique signature programmed into the DIMM, which enables ThinkSystem servers
to verify whether the memory installed is qualified and supported. From a service and support standpoint,
TruDDR4 memory automatically assumes the system's warranty, and service and support provided
worldwide.
The SR850 supports up to 12 DIMMs per processor, for a total of 48 DIMMs when four processors are
installed. Each processor has six memory channels, and supports one or two DIMMs per channel.
All DIMMs can operate at a speed of 2666 MHz, both at 1 DIMM per channel and 2 DIMMs per channel.
However, if the processor selected has a lower memory bus speed (eg 2400 MHz), then all DIMMs will
operate at that lower speed.

The server supports RDIMMs, LRDIMMs and 3DS RDIMMs. UDIMMs are not supported.
Mixing RDIMMs and LRDIMMs is not supported.
Mixing 3DS RDIMMs with either RDIMMs or LRDIMMs is not supported.

Mixing x4 and x8 DIMMs is supported.
When mixing 16 GB and 32 GB DIMMs in the same configuration, use 16GB 2Rx8 DIMMs instead of
16 GB 1Rx4 DIMMs for better performance
For best performance, populate memory DIMMs in quantities of 6 or 12 per processor, so that all
memory channels are used.
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 channel mirroring
Memory rank sparing
If memory channel mirroring is used, then DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per
processor), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type and size. 50% of the installed capacity is
available to the operating system.
If memory rank sparing is used, then a minimum of one quad-rank DIMM or two single-rank or dual-rank
DIMMs must be installed per populated channel (the DIMMs do not need to be identical). In rank sparing
mode, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory. The largest rank in the
channel will be automatically selected as the spare rank. The amount of memory available to the operating
system depends on the number, capacity and rank counts of the DIMMs installed.
Internal storage
The server can support up to 16x 2.5-inch drives, SAS, SATA or NVMe, depending on the selected
backplane configuration. You can mix drives in the same server, but not in the same array. Drives are all
installed from the front of the server. The server also supports one or two M.2 drives, installed in an M.2
adapter.

Backplanes and drive bays

The SR850 supports various internal storage configurations based on two different backplanes:
8-drive SAS/SATA backplane for 8x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives
8-drive SAS/SATA+AnyBay backplane for either:
8x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives
4x 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drives + 4x 2.5-inch U.2 (NVMe) drives
For configure-to-order (CTO) configurations, ordering information for the backplanes is in the following table.
Table 5. Backplane ordering

None* AUR5 ThinkSystem 2U 2.5" AnyBay 8-Bay Backplane Kit
None* AURA ThinkSystem 2U/Tower 2.5" SATA/SAS 8-Bay Backplane Kit

* Backplanes are configure-to-order (CTO) only; however, upgrade kits are available that include
backplanes, as described in the Field upgrades section below.
Regular 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drive bays support only SAS or SATA drives, however the Lenovo AnyBay
drive bay design allows a choice of SATA, SAS or NVMe drives. This design enables the flexibility to
configure some of the bays with high-performance PCIe SSDs and still use the remaining bays for high-
capacity HDDs, which is the ideal solution for storage tiering.
Backplane connections are as follows:
The 8-drive SAS/SATA backplane has two SAS/SATA connectors and connects to a supported RAID
controller or SAS HBA.
The 8-drive SAS/SATA+AnyBay backplane has two SAS/SATA connectors and connects to a
supported RAID controller or SAS HBA plus four PCIe connectors to connect to either two PCIe
connectors on the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray (see Figure 4), or four PCIe connectors
on a NVMe Switch adapter installed in a PCIe slot.
Five drive configurations are possible with these two backplanes:
1. 8 drive bays, all SAS/SATA
2. 8 drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
6. Zero drive bays without any backplanes installed
The first five configurations are shown in the following figure.
Figure 7. Drive bay configurations

Adapters and cabling
This section describes the adapter and cabling requirements for each of the five configurations. There are
two aspects of the server configuration that determine what adapters are needed:
For configurations with two SAS/SATA backplanes, you can select either one 16-port SAS/SATA
adapter or two 8-port SAS/SATA adapters
For AnyBay drive bays, cabling varies depending on whether the server has four processors and the
Processor and Memory Expansion Tray (with its two NVMe connectors) installed. If the server has
only two processors configured, then the NVMe ports are provided by an NVMe Switch adapter.
The five drive bay configurations are shown in the subsections below. Where there are different adapter and
cabling options, or for 2 or 4 processors, they are shown by the letters A, B, C and D. These configuration
numbers are also later references in the Field upgrades section.
1. 8x drive bays, all SAS/SATA
2. 8x drive bays, where 4 are AnyBay
3. 16x drive bays, all SAS/SATA
Tip: The adapters are described in detail in the Controllers for internal storage section.

In this drive bay configuration, all eight drives are connected to one 8-port SAS/SATA RAID adapter or HBA
using two backplane cables, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 8. Adapter and cabling for 8x drive bays, all SAS/SATA

In 8-drive bay configurations where four of those drive bays are AnyBay drive bays, possible adapter and
cabling configurations are shown in the following figure.
When only two processors are selected, an AnyBay drive bays and NVMe Switch Adapter is used to provide
the four needed NVMe ports. When four processors are selected, the NVMe ports on the Processor and
Memory Expansion Tray are used to connect to the NVMe connectors on the backplane.
In this configuration you can have up to eight SAS or SATA drives, or you can instead put up to four NVMe
drives in the AnyBay drive bays, along with up to four SAS/SATA drives in the other drive bays.
Figure 9. Adapter and cabling for 8 drive bays, where 4 of the bays are AnyBay
In 16-bay configurations where all 16 drive bays are SAS/SATA drives, you can use either two 8-port
SAS/SATA RAID adapters or HBAs or one 16-port SAS/SATA RAID adapter or HBA. These choices are
shown in the following figure.
Figure 10. Adapter and cabling for 16 drive bays, all SAS/SATA

In 16-drive configurations where four of the bays are AnyBay drive bays, you can elect to have either one
16-port adapter or two 8-port adapters for SAS/SATA connectivity. In addition, the NVMe connectivity
depends on whether you have two or four processors installed: for two-processor systems, an NVMe Switch
Adapter is required; for four-processor systems, the onboard NVMe ports can be used. The configurations
are shown in the following figure.

In 16-drive configurations where eight of the bays are AnyBay drive bays, you can select either one 16-port
adapter or two 8-port adapters for SAS/SATA connectivity. In addition, the NVMe connectivity depends on
whether you have two or four processors installed:
For two-processor systems, two NVMe Switch Adapters are required
For four-processor systems, the onboard NVMe ports is used for four of the AnyBay drive bays and
an NVMe Switch Adapter is needed for the other four AnyBay drive bays.
The configurations are shown in the following figure.
Field upgrades
This section describes how customers can upgrade their 8-bay configurations after the initial purchase of
the server. The two backplane upgrade kits are listed in the following table.

1x 900mm SAS/SATA cable
1x 720mm SAS/SATA cable
4x 750mm NVMe cables for use with NVMe Switch Adapter
2x 900mm NVMe cables for use with onboard NVMe ports
In addition to the backplane kits, you will need a RAID adapter or HBA, and for some upgrades you may
also need an NVMe adapter. Upgrades needed are listed in the following two tables. Upgrading from an 8-
port SAS/SATA adapter to a 16-port SAS/SATA adapter is supported, however that requires removing the
existing 8-port adapter.
Tip: The adapters are described in the Controllers for internal storage section.
The following table lists the available upgrades for SR850 servers with a single SAS/SATA backplane (See
Configuration 1 above).

M.2 drives
The server supports one or two M.2 form-factor SATA drives for use as an operating system boot solution.
With two M.2 drives configured, the drives are configured by default as a RAID-1 mirrored pair for
redundancy.
The M.2 drives install into an M.2 adapter which in turn is installed in a dedicated slot on the system board.
See the internal view of the server in the Components and connectors section for the location of the M.2
slot.
There are two M.2 adapters supported, as listed in the following table.
Table 9. M.2 components

SED encryption key management with SKLM
The server supports self-encrypting drives (SEDs) as listed in the Internal drive options section. To
effectively manage a large deployment of these drives in Lenovo servers, IBM Security Key Lifecycle
Manager (SKLM) offers a centralized key management solution.
A Lenovo Feature on Demand (FoD) upgrade is used to enable this SKLM support in the management
processor of the server. The following table lists the part numbers and feature codes for the upgrades.

Controllers for internal storage

The SR850 supports internal SAS and SATA drives with the addition of a RAID adapter or HBA. For NVMe
support, the server offers two onboard NVMe ports on the processor and memory expansion tray (with four
processors) and two ports with the use of an NVMe Switch Adapter.
The following table lists the adapters used for the internal storage of the SR850 server.
Tip: Unlike System x RAID adapters, no upgrades are available for these RAID adapters. All supported

I/O expansion options

The server supports up to 9 PCIe 3.0 slots, plus a slot for the LOM adapter and a slot for the M.2 adapter.

Six PCIe 3.0 slots (1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11) are on the system board and three slots (slots 3-5) are through a riser
card. A riser card is standard on some models and optional on others. The LOM slot (slot 7) is also vertically
mounted on the system board. All slots are available with two processors.
The PCIe slots are as follows:
Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x16 (low profile) (CPU 2)
Slot 2: PCIe 3.0 x8 (low profile, x8 physical slot) (CPU 2)
Slot 3-5: Riser card slots (see below) (CPU 2)
Slot 6: PCIe 2.0 x2 dedicated to M.2 adapter and drives
Slot 7: Dedicated to Ethernet LOM phy adapter (CPU 1)
Slot 11: PCIe 3.0 x16 (low profile) (CPU 1)
The locations of the slots are shown in the following figure.
Figure 13. SR850 slots

Note: Slot 6 is an internal slot for the M.2 adapter as described in the M.2 drives section .
Slots 3-5 are implemented using a riser card, and the SR850 supports three different riser cards as listed in
the following table.
The following table lists the ordering information for the riser cards.

Network adapters
The SR850 has integrated Intel Ethernet Connection X722 technology which can provide up to four
1/10GbE network ports via an optional LOM card. The X722 has the following features:
Integrated into the Intel PCH chipset
Supports 1GbE or 10GbE connections, depending on the selected LOM Phy adapter
Offers VXLAN/NVGRE hardware offloads
Supports VMDq and SR-IOV for advanced virtualization
Supports iWarp RDMA
To provide connectivity to the X722, the SR850 supports six different LOM (LAN on Motherboard) cards
which provide the Ethernet PHY function. Only 1 LOM card can be installed. See Figure 3 for the location of
the LOM slot.
The LOM card supports NC-SI to allow the network connection to be shared between the operating system
and the XClarity Controller (XCC) management module. The LOM also supports Wake-on-LAN (WOL).
For more information about the X722 controller, see the Lenovo Press product guide:
http://lenovopress.com/LP0654-intel-x722-integrated-controller
The following table lists the supported LOM cards.
Note: None of the LOM cards listed in the table support speeds lower than 1 Gbps.

VFA5.2 2x10 GbE SFP+ PCIe Adapter, 00AG570, cannot be upgraded to FCoE support. If you need
FCoE or iSCSI support use 00AG580 instead.

The SR850 does not support any graphics processing units (GPUs).
Cooling
The server has six 60 mm hot-swap fans and all six fans are standard in all models. The server offers N+1
redundancy, meaning that one fan can fail and the server still operates normally.
Either 16K RPM fans or 19K RPM fans are used in the server, depending on the components used in the
server.
Table 32. Fan selections

CTO only B81D SR850/SR860 60x38 16K Fan Unit
4F17A60142 B81C SR850/SR860 60x38 19K Fan Unit
The 16K fan is the default selection, however the 19K fan is automatically selected when one of the
following processors with high thermal characteristics is selected:
Intel Xeon Gold 6126T 12C 125W 2.6GHz Processor
Intel Xeon Gold 6144 8C 150W 3.5GHz Processor
Intel Xeon Platinum 8160T 24C 150W 2.1GHz Processor
Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 24C 205W 2.7GHz Processor
Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 28C 205W 2.5GHz Processor
Intel Xeon Platinum 8180M 28C 205W 2.5GHz Processor
For existing customers with the original 16K fans wish to operate the server without restrictions, the 19K
RPM fans can be installed as field upgrades using part number 4F17A60142. The part number contains 1
fan. A total of 6 fans will need to be ordered.
Power supplies
The server supports up to two redundant hot-swap power supplies.
Installing a second power supply requires either the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray (7B27A03953)
or the power interposer (feature AUPZ).
The power interposer enables redundant power support when the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray is
not installed. If you do not have the Processor and Memory Expansion Tray installed and want to install two
power supplies, then the power interposer card must be installed.
Tip: Use Lenovo Capacity Planner to determine exactly what power your server needs:

† Support for 240 DC is planned
750W and 1100W power supplies are auto-sensing and support both 110V AC (100-127V 50/60 Hz) and
220V AC (200-240V 50/60 Hz) power. The 1600 W power supply only supports 220V AC power.
For China customers, all three power supplies are 240V DC ready; support is planned for a future date.
Note: At 110 V, the 1100W power supply generates 1050W of power.
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 a power cord if desired.
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.
