Hardware features

The VX850 V4 is based on the SR850 V4 and has the following hardware features:

Scalability and performance

The VX system offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

• Supports Intel® Xeon® 6 Processor
• High-performance scale-out offering where up to 4 processors and 64 DIMMs are housed in 2U of rack space.
• Gold and Platinum processors in the Intel® Xeon® 6 Processor Family supported:
  • Up to 86 cores and 172 threads
  • Core speeds of up to 4 GHz
  • TDP ratings of up to 350W
• Up to four processors, 344 cores, and 688 threads maximize the concurrent execution of multithreaded applications.
• Support for up to 64 TruDDR5 memory DIMMs operating at up to 6400 MHz means you have the fastest available memory subsystem and memory capacity of up to 16 TB with 64x 256 GB 3DS RDIMMs.
• Supports configurations of 2 DIMMs per channel to operate at the 5200 MHz rated speed of the memory DIMMs.
• Up to 24x 2.5-inch SSDs provide a flexible and scalable all-in-one platform to meet your increasing demands.
• Up to 24x NVMe drives are supported, maximizing drive I/O performance in terms of throughput, bandwidth, and latency
• The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of traditional spinning drives (HDDs) improves I/O performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical HDD.
• Supports M.2 drives for convenient operating system boot functions. M.2 drives can be internally mounted or can be mounted at the rear of the server as hot-swap drives. Optional RAID-0 or RAID-1.
• The server is Compute Express Link (CXL) v1.1 Ready. With CXL 1.1 for next-generation workloads, you can reduce compute latency in the data center and lower TCO. CXL is a protocol that runs across the standard PCIe physical layer and can support both standard PCIe devices as well as CXL devices on the same link.
• The server has up to two dedicated industry-standard OCP 3.0 slots supporting a variety of Ethernet network adapters. A simple swap mechanism with a thumbscrew and pull-tab enables tool-less installation and removal of the adapter. The adapter supports shared BMC network sideband connectivity to enable out-of-band systems management.
• The server offers PCI Express 5.0 I/O expansion capabilities that doubles the theoretical maximum bandwidth of PCIe 4.0 (32GT/s in each direction for PCIe Gen 5, compared to 16 GT/s with PCIe Gen 4 and 8 GT/s with PCIe Gen 3). A PCIe 5.0 x16 slot provides 128 GB/s bandwidth.
• Supports up to 9x PCIe slots (6x full height and 3x low profile) plus two OCP 3.0 Ethernet slots to maximize I/O capabilities.
• Supports up to 4x single-width GPUs or 2x double-wide GPUs, for accelerated processing power in a 2U system. For support for more GPUs in a 4-socket server.

Availability and serviceability

The VX850 V4 system is based on a modular service model where all components and options can be removed from the front or rear of the system, even parts that are located in the center of the machine such as fans, memory DIMMs, and processors. The VX850 V4 is designed for 99.99% availability.

The VX system provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:

• The server offers Single Device Data Correction (SDDC, also known as Chipkill), Adaptive Double-Device Data Correction (ADDDC, also known as Redundant Bit Steering or RBS), and memory mirroring for redundancy in the event of a non-correctable memory failure.
• The server has two hot-swap drives, supporting RAID redundancy for data protection and greater system uptime.
• Available M.2 boot adapters support RAID-1 (using onboard hardware RAID) which can enable two M.2 drives to be configured as a redundant pair.
• The server has two hot-swap redundant power supplies and six N+1 redundant fans to provide availability for business-critical applications.
• The light path diagnostics feature uses LEDs to lead the technician to failed (or failing) components, which simplifies servicing, speeds up problem resolution, and helps improve system availability.
• The included LCD system information display panel provides greater diagnostic function by listing all error messages and VPD data needed for a service call, thereby speeding problem resolution and increasing system uptime.
• Proactive Platform Alerts (including PFA and SMART alerts): Processors, voltage regulators, memory, internal storage (NVMe SSDs, 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 One and VMware vCenter. 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 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 supports diagnostics and can save service data to a USB key drive or remote CIFS share folder for troubleshooting and reducing service time.
• Auto restart in the event of a momentary loss of AC power (based on power policy setting in the XClarity Controller service processor)
• Offers a diagnostics port on the front of the server to allow you to attach an external diagnostics handset for enhanced systems management capabilities.
• Support for the XClarity Mobile app running on a supported smartphone or tablet and connected to the server through the service-enabled USB port, enables additional local systems management functions.
• Three-year or one-year customer-replaceable unit and onsite limited warranty (varies by geography), 9 x 5 next business day. Optional service upgrades are available.

Energy efficiency

The VX850 V4 system offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, and increase energy availability:

• The server supports advanced Lenovo Neptune Core direct-water cooling (DWC) capabilities, where heat from the processors is removed from the rack and the data center using an open loop and coolant distribution units, resulting in lower energy costs
• The server can be used in environments up to ASHRAE A4 with ambient temperatures up to 45 °C.
• Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
• High-efficiency power supplies with 80 PLUS Titanium and Platinum certifications.
• Solid-state drives (SSDs) consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning 2.5-inch HDDs.
• Support for Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager provides advanced data center power notification, analysis, and policy-based management to help achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs.
• The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, which can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system and thus keeping your system cooler.
