Availability and Serviceability
⚫
Carrier-class components with process expertise ensure high system reliability and
availability.
⚫
The server supports twenty-four 3.5-inch front SAS/SATA drives and four 2.5-inch rear
SAS/SATA/NVMe drives. All the drives are hot-swappable, and the 2.5-inch SAS/SATA
drives support RAID1, 10, and 1E.
⚫
The SSDs offer better reliability than HDDs, ensuring continued system performance.
⚫
The server provides simplified O&M and efficient troubleshooting through the UID/HLY
LED indicators on the front panel and iBMC WebUI.
⚫
The iBMC monitors system parameters in real time, triggers alarms, and performs
recovery actions in case of failures, minimizing system downtime.

Manageability and Security
⚫
The built-in iBMC monitors server operating status and provides remote management.
⚫
A password is required for accessing the BIOS, ensuring system boot and management
security.
⚫
The Network Controller Sideband Interface (NC-SI) allows a network port to serve as a
management port and a service port for maximized return on investment (ROI) for
customers. The NC-SI feature is disabled by default and can be enabled through the
iBMC or BIOS.
⚫
The integrated Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) improves setup,
configuration, and update efficiency and simplifies fault handling.
⚫
The Advanced Encryption Standard–New Instruction (AES NI) algorithm allows faster
and stronger encryption.
⚫
Intel Execute Disable Bit (EDB) function prevents certain types of malicious buffer
overflow attacks when working with a supported OS.
⚫
Intel Trusted Execution Technology enhances security using hardware-based defense
against malicious software attacks, allowing applications to run independently.
⚫
The trusted platform module (TPM) and trusted cryptography module (TCM) provide
advanced encryption functions, such as digital signatures and remote authentication.
The service port with NC-SI enabled supports the following configuration:
⚫
Configuring any port on the LOM, OCP 2.0 mezzanine card 1, or PCIe NIC as the service port with
NC-SI enabled. Host port 1 is configured by default.
⚫
Enabling, disabling, and setting a virtual local area network (VLAN) ID for this port. The VLAN ID
is
0
and disabled by default.
⚫
Configuring IPv4 addresses (IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway) and IPv6 addresses (IPv6
address, prefix length, and gateway) for this port.
Energy Efficiency
⚫
The 80 Plus Platinum power supply units (PSUs) of multiple power ratings provide 94%
power efficiency at 50% load.
⚫
The server supports active/standby power supplies and high-voltage DC (HVDC) for
improved power supply efficiency.
⚫
Efficient voltage regulator-down (VRD) power supplies for boards minimize the energy
loss from DC/DC power conversion.
