⚫
Flexible drive configurations meet a variety of business requirements and ensure high
elasticity and scalability of storage resources.
⚫
The use of 12 Gbit/s SCSI (SAS) serial connection for internal storage provides 2x data
transmission rate than the use of 6 Gbit/s SAS connection, maximizing the performance
of I/O-intensive applications.
⚫
With Intel integrated I/O, the third-generation Intel
®
Xeon
®
Scalable processors integrate
the PCIe 4.0 controller to shorten I/O latency and improve overall system performance.
⚫
The server supports a maximum of eight PCIe 4.0 expansion slots.
⚫
The server supports two FlexIO cards (applicable to the OCP 3.0 network adapter) with
flexible configuration of GE/10GE/25GE/100GE network adapters, which are hot
swappable.
Availability and Serviceability
⚫
Carrier-class components with process expertise ensure high system reliability and
availability.
⚫
The server supports hot-swappable SAS/SATA/NVMe drives. SAS/SATA drives support
RAID 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 50, 6, and 60, depending on the RAID controller card used. It also
uses a supercapacitor to protect the RAID cache data against power failures.
⚫
SSDs offer better reliability than HDDs, prolonging system uptime.
⚫
The server provides simplified O&M and efficient troubleshooting through the UID/HLY
indicators on the front panel, fault diagnosis LED, and iBMC WebUI.
⚫
The mounting ears provide iBMC direct connect management ports to support local
iBMC O&M, improving O&M efficiency.
⚫
A server provides two hot-swappable PSUs in 1+1 redundancy mode and four
hot-swappable fan modules in N+1 redundancy mode, improving system availability.
⚫
The built-in iBMC monitors system parameters in real time, triggers alarms, and
performs recovery actions to minimize the 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 NC-SI feature allows a network port to serve as a management port and a service
port. 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 server chassis panel ensures security of local data.
⚫
Chassis cover opening detection is supported to enhance security.
⚫
Intel Execute Disable Bit (EDB) function prevents certain types of malicious buffer
overflow attacks when working with a supported OS.
⚫
The Intel Converged Boot Guard & Trusted Execution Technology (Intel CBnT)
prevents malicious software attacks based on hardware, prevents the firmware from
being maliciously modified, and prevents the execution of unauthorized boot blocks. It
also allows applications to run in their own independent space without being affected by
other software running in the system, thereby enhancing security.
