Page 11: Chapter 1. Introduction
Chapter 1. Introduction The ThinkSystem ST650 V2 server is a 4U tower server designed for performance and expansion for various IT workloads. With the modular design, the server is flexible to be customized for maximum storage capacity or high storage density with selectable input/output options and tiered system management.
Page 12 See “Install a 2.5-inch drive into a 3.5-inch drive bay” on page 65 for details. • When GPUs are installed, only two backplanes or backplates are supported and no optical drive or tape drive can be installed. ThinkSystem ST650 V2 Maintenance Manual...
Page 13 • PCIe 4: Gen4 when connected to backplane, Gen3 when connected to PCIe slot 8 enable connector. • Front panel Input/Output (I/O) – One USB 2.0 connector with Lenovo XClarity Controller management features – One USB 3.2 Gen 1 connector • Rear panel –...

Page 16 Table 1. Specifications (continued) Specification Description The ThinkSystem ST650 V2 server complies with ASHRAE Class A2 specifications. Environment Depending on the hardware configuration, some models comply with ASHRAE Class A3 and Class A4 specifications. System performance may be impacted when operating temperature is outside ASHRAE A2 specification.
Page 17 Note: Ensure that you observe the fan installation rules and sequence in “Technical rules for system fans” in the ThinkSystem ST650 V2 Setup Guide. • Keep ambient temperature to 30°C or lower when one or more of the following components are installed.
Page 18: Particulate Contamination
If Lenovo determines that the levels of particulates or gases in your environment have caused damage to the device, Lenovo may condition provision of repair or replacement of devices or parts on implementation of appropriate remedial measures to mitigate such environmental contamination.
Page 19: Firmware Updates
Note: Lenovo typically releases firmware in bundles called UpdateXpress System Packs (UXSPs). To ensure that all of the firmware updates are compatible, you should update all firmware at the same time. If you are updating firmware for both the Lenovo XClarity Controller and UEFI, update the firmware for Lenovo XClarity Controller first.
Page 20 Machine-type-specific firmware-only UXSPs are also available. See the following table to determine the best Lenovo tool to use for installing and setting up the firmware: Note: The server UEFI settings for option ROM must be set to Auto or UEFI to update firmware using Lenovo XClarity Administrator or Lenovo XClarity Essentials.
Page 21 • Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3 From Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3, you can update the Lenovo XClarity Controller firmware, the UEFI firmware, and the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3 software. Note: By default, the Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager V3 Graphical User Interface is displayed when you press F1.
Page 22 • Lenovo XClarity Controller If you need to install a specific update, you can use the Lenovo XClarity Controller interface for a specific server. Notes: – To perform an in-band update through Windows or Linux, the operating system driver must be installed and the Ethernet-over-USB (sometimes called LAN over USB) interface must be enabled.
Page 23: Tech Tips
Power off the server The server remains in a standby state when it is connected to a power source, allowing the Lenovo XClarity Controller to respond to remote power-on requests. To remove all power from the server (power-on LED off), you must disconnect all power cables.
Page 24 Note: The Lenovo XClarity Controller can place the server in a standby state as an automatic response to a critical system failure. • Start an orderly shutdown using the operating system (if supported by your operating system). • Press the power-on button to start an orderly shutdown (if supported by your operating system).

An alert is a message or other indication that signals an event or an impending event. Alerts are generated by the Lenovo XClarity Controller or by UEFI in the servers. These alerts are stored in the Lenovo XClarity Controller Event Log. If the server is managed by the Chassis Management Module 2 or by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, alerts are automatically forwarded to those management applications.
Page 218 Lenovo XClarity Controller event log The Lenovo XClarity Controller monitors the physical state of the server and its components using sensors that measure internal physical variables such as temperature, power-supply voltages, fan speeds, and component status. The Lenovo XClarity Controller provides various interfaces to systems management software and to system administrators and users to enable remote management and control of a server.
