• Out-of-band update. The installation or update is performed by the Lenovo XClarity Controller collecting the update and then directing the update to the target subsystem or device. Out-of-band updates have no dependency on an operating system executing on the core CPU. However, most out-of-band operations do require the server to be in the S0 (Working) power state.

• On-Target update. The installation or update is initiated from an Operating System executing on the server’s operating system.

• Off-Target update. The installation or update is initiated from a computing device interacting directly with the server’s Lenovo XClarity Controller.

• UpdateXpress System Packs (UXSPs). UXSPs are bundled updates designed and tested to provide the interdependent level of functionality, performance, and compatibility. UXSPs are server machine-type specific and are built (with firmware and device driver updates) to support specific Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) operating system distributions. Machine-type-specific firmware-only UXSPs are also available.

– “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 49

• Any system-board switch or jumper block that is not shown in the illustrations in this document are reserved.

Internal cable routing

Some of the components in the server have internal cables and cable connectors.

To connect cables, observe the following guidelines:

• Power off the server before you connect or disconnect any internal cables.

• See the documentation that comes with any external devices for additional cabling instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you connect the devices to the server.

• Cable identifiers of some cables are printed on the cables that come with the server and optional devices. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors.

• Ensure that the relevant cables pass through the cable clips.

Chapter 2. Server components 29

Page 38

Note: Disengage all latches, release tabs, or locks on cable connectors when you disconnect cables from the system board. Failing to release them before removing the cables will damage the cable sockets on the system board, which are fragile. Any damage to the cable sockets might require replacing the system board.

Chapter 3. Hardware replacement procedures

This section provides installation and removal procedures for all serviceable system components. Each component replacement procedure references any tasks that need to be performed to gain access to the component being replaced.

For more information about ordering parts, go to:

http://datacentersupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/servers/thinksystem/sr630/7x01/parts

Note: If you replace a part, such as an adapter, that contains firmware, you might also need to update the firmware for that part. For more information about updating firmware, see “Firmware updates” on page 9.

Installation Guidelines

Before installing components in your server, read the installation guidelines.

Before installing optional devices, read the following notices carefully:

Attention: Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.

• Read the safety information and guidelines to ensure that you work safely. – A complete list of safety information for all products is available at:

http://thinksystem.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/safety_documentation/pdf_files.html

– The following guidelines are available as well: “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 49 and

“Working inside the server with the power on” on page 49.

• Make sure the components you are installing are supported by the server. For a list of supported optional components for the server, see

• When you install a new server, download and apply the latest firmware. This will help ensure that any known issues are addressed, and that your server is ready to work with optimal performance. Go to

ThinkSystem SR630 Drivers and Software to download firmware updates for your server.

http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/.

Important: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the component is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.

• It is good practice to make sure that the server is working correctly before you install an optional component.

• Keep the working area clean, and place removed components on a flat and smooth surface that does not shake or tilt.

• Do not attempt to lift an object that might be too heavy for you. If you have to lift a heavy object, read the following precautions carefully:

– Make sure that you can stand steadily without slipping. – Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. – Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy object. – To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles.

Page 56

• Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.

• Back up all important data before you make changes related to the disk drives.

• Have a small flat-blade screwdriver, a small Phillips screwdriver, and a T8 torx screwdriver available.

• To view the error LEDs on the system board and internal components, leave the power on.

• You do not have to turn off the server to remove or install hot-swap power supplies, hot-swap fans, or hotplug USB devices. However, you must turn off the server before you perform any steps that involve removing or installing adapter cables, and you must disconnect the power source from the server before you perform any steps that involve removing or installing a riser card.

• Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip to remove a component from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.

• Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates that the component can be hot-swapped if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, which means that you can remove or install the component while the server is still running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.

• The Red strip on the drives, adjacent to the release latch, indicates that the drive can be hot-swapped if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability. This means that you can remove or install the drive while the server is still running.

Note: See the system specific instructions for removing or installing a hot-swap drive for any additional procedures that you might need to perform before you remove or install the drive.

• After finishing working on the server, make sure you reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires.

System reliability guidelines

Review the system reliability guidelines to ensure proper system cooling and reliability.

Make sure the following requirements are met:

• When the server comes with redundant power, a power supply must be installed in each power-supply bay.

• Adequate space around the server must be spared to allow server cooling system to work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the front and rear of the server. Do not place any object in front of the fans.

• For proper cooling and airflow, refit the server cover before you turn the power on. Do not operate the server for more than 30 minutes with the server cover removed, for it might damage server components.

• Cabling instructions that come with optional components must be followed.

• A failed fan must be replaced within 48 hours since malfunction.

• A removed hot-swap fan must be replaced within 30 seconds after removal.

• A removed hot-swap drive must be replaced within two minutes after removal.

• A removed hot-swap power supply must be replaced within two minutes after removal.

• Every air baffle that comes with the server must be installed when the server starts (some servers might come with more than one air baffle). Operating the server with a missing air baffle might damage the processor.

• All processor sockets must contain either a socket cover or a processor with heat sink.

• When more than one processor is installed, fan population rules for each server must be strictly followed.

ThinkSystem SR630 Maintenance Manual

Page 57

Working inside the server with the power on

You might need to keep the power on with the server cover removed to look at system information on the display panel or to replace hot-swap components. Review these guidelines before doing so.

Attention: The server might stop and loss of data might occur when internal server components are exposed to static electricity. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding systems when working inside the server with the power on.

• Avoid loose-fitting clothing, particularly around your forearms. Button or roll up long sleeves before working inside the server.

• Prevent your necktie, scarf, badge rope, or long hair from dangling into the server.

• Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, cuff links, and wrist watches.

• Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, in case they fall into the server as you lean over it.

• Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws, into the server.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Review these guidelines before you handle static-sensitive devices to reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge.

• Limit your movement to prevent building up static electricity around you.

• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, for heating would reduce indoor humidity and increase static electricity.

• Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system, particularly when working inside the server with the power on.

• While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server for at least two seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

• Remove the device from the package and install it directly into the server without putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device down, put it back into the static-protective package. Never place the device on the server or on any metal surface.

• When handling a device, carefully hold it by the edges or the frame.

• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.

• Keep the device from others’ reach to prevent possible damages.

DIMM installation rules

DIMMs must be installed in a specific order based on the memory configuration that you implement on your server.

Your server has 24 DIMM slots and it has the following features:

• Each slot supports 8 GB, 16 GB, and 32 GB DDR4 RDIMMs with Error Checking and Correcting (ECC) technology.

• Each slot supports 64 GB DDR4 LRDIMMs with ECC technology.

• Each slot supports 128 GB DDR4 3DS RDIMMs with ECC technology.

• Your server supports up to 12 DIMMs when one processor is installed, and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors are installed.

• The minimum system memory is 8 GB (only one processor installed and only one 8 GB RDIMM installed in the CPU1 DIMM5 slot).

• The maximum system memory is as follows: – 768 GB using RDIMMs (two processors installed and one 32 GB RDIMM installed in each of the 24

DIMM slots)

– 1.5 TB using LRDIMMs (two processors installed and one 64 GB LRDIMM installed in each of the 24

DIMM slots)

ThinkSystem SR630 Maintenance Manual

Page 75

– 3 TB using 3DS RDIMMs (two processors installed and one 128 GB 3DS RDIMM installed in each of the

24 DIMM slots)

For a list of supported DIMM options, see:

http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/

Before installing a DIMM, ensure that all DIMMs to be installed must be the same type. Your server supports the following types of DIMMs:

• DDR4 RDIMM with ECC technology

• DDR4 LRDIMM with ECC technology

• DDR4 3DS RDIMM with ECC technology

Note: It is recommended to install DIMMs with the same rank in each channel.

The following illustration helps you to locate the DIMM slots on the system board.

Figure 55. DIMM slots on the system board

Your server supports the following memory modes:

• “Independent mode” on page 67

• “Mirroring mode” on page 69

• “Rank sparing mode” on page 70

Independent mode

Independent mode provides high performance memory capability. You can populate all channels with no matching requirements. Individual channels can run at different DIMM timings, but all channels must run at the same interface frequency.

Notes:

• All DIMMs to be installed must be the same type.

• When you install DIMMs with same rank and different capacity, install the DIMM that has the highest capacity first.

The following table shows the DIMM population sequence for independent mode when only one processor (CPU1) is installed.

Notes:

• If there are three identical DIMMs to be installed for CPU1, and the three DIMMs have the same Lenovo part number, move the DIMM to be installed in slot 8 to slot 1.

Chapter 3. Hardware replacement procedures 67

Page 76

• If there are ten identical DIMMs to be installed for CPU1, and the ten DIMMs have the same Lenovo part number, move the DIMM to be installed in slot 6 to slot 12.

The following notes describe the type of drives that your server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a drive.

• Depending on your server models, your server supports the following types of drives: – SAS/SATA HDD

– SAS/SATA SSD – NVMe SSD For a list of supported drives, see:

http://www.lenovo.com/us/en/serverproven/

• The drive bays are numbered to indicate the installation order (starting from number “0”). Follow the installation order when you install a drive. See “Front view” on page 15.

• You can mix drives of different types and different capacities in one system, but not in one RAID array. The following order is recommended when installing the drives:

– Drive type priority: NVMe SSD, SAS SSD, SATA SSD, SAS HDD, SATA HDD – Drive capacity priority: the lowest capacity first

• For server models with ten 2.5-inch drive bays in the front, NVMe drives are supported in drive bays 6–9.

• The drives in a single RAID array must be the same type, same size, and same capacity.

Before installing a hot-swap drive:

1. Remove the drive filler from the drive bay. Keep the drive filler in a safe place.
