DDR4 memory offers many benefits over prior generation DDR3 memory. DDR4 operates at a lower voltage than DDR3L (1.2V vs. 1.5V) and as a result, offers significant power savings. In addition, DDR4 memory has higher memory transfer speeds up to 2133 MT/s depending on the memory configuration. Lenovo offers both Registered DIMMs (RDIMM) and Load Reduced DIMMs (LR-DIMM) that use a buffer to reduce memory bus loading, enabling greater memory capacities to be achieved. The server supports up to 12 DIMMs when one processor is installed and up to 24 DIMMs when two processors are installed. Each processor has four memory channels, and there are three DIMMs supported per channel. The RD650 supports up to 768GB of memory at speeds up to 1866MT/s when fully populated. The actual memory speed in the system is determined as the lowest of either the memory speed supported by the specific CPU, or the maximum operating speeds for the memory configuration based on the number of DIMMs per channel. ThinkServer engineering has tested and validated system designs that support memory speeds beyond Intel s original plan, providing benefits for workloads that require memory speed and density. Lenovo ThinkServer memory is fully supported up to the rated speeds shown in Table 6.

Protection against data loss is provided through the following memory reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features: ECC, Patrol and Demand Scrubbing, Sparing, Mirroring and Lockstep Mode. Configuration Guidelines Memory can be configured to meet a variety of needs and workloads subject to the following general rules: Mixing memory type (RDIMM, LR-DIMM) is not supported. DIMM capacities and rank can be mixed. When populating for the various RAS modes, however, the following rules apply: If memory mirroring or lockstep is used, DIMMs must be installed in pairs (minimum of one pair per each CPU), and both DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type, size and rank. If memory sparing is used, one rank of a DIMM in each populated channel is reserved as spare memory, and therefore, Single Rank DIMMs cannot be used. DIMMs in a pair must be identical in type, size and rank. Memory Optimization The memory subsystem can be optimized for various factors, including performance, capacity, or power consumption. Refer to the following guidelines when selecting memory options. Guidelines for maximum memory performance: Use all available memory channels (4 per processor, 8 total per system). Use identical DIMM populations in size and speed across channels. Populate both processors with equal amounts of memory. Use the same number of ranks populated per channel. Have at least two ranks available on each channel. Guidelines for lowest memory power consumption: Use fewer, higher capacity DIMMs. For example eight 16GB DIMMs will generally have lower power requirements than sixteen 8GB DIMMs. Populating more DIMMs per channel and using less channels (opposite of guidance above) will reduce overall system power, but at the cost of significant performance reduction. Table 7 provides guidelines for selecting memory configurations based on either performance or capacity. For example, to achieve optimal 2133MHz performance at a given capacity, populate up to 16 DIMMs (up to 8 per CPU). To achieve the maximum memory capacity with the highest performance populate up to 24 sockets with LRDIMMs. Copyright Lenovo 2014. All rights reserved. 9

Chassis Features and Functions The RD650 supports three basic chassis types, including systems that support 2.5-inch drive bays, 3.5- inch drive bays, and a hybrid chassis that supports both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drive bays. All chassis types optionally support two 2.5-inch hot-swap SATA drives in the rear of the server. When using the two rear drives, the AnyRAID 720ix controller is required. All chassis types also support enterprise M.2 SSD and SD memory cards which can be used as boot drives. M.2 is a form factor of SSD with a small footprint. The RD650 supports two M.2 SSDs that can be configured as RAID-1 with either the AnyRAID 110i or 720ix controllers. The RD650 supports two SD memory cards via an optional module connected to USB ports on the system board. SD can be configured redundantly using the operating system. The SD cards are enabled via a USB port from the system board Platform Controller Hub (PCH), and do not require a RAID controller. This section shows the base chassis configurations with varying numbers of drive bays, and points out the key features of each. 2.5-inch Chassis The 2.5-inch chassis supports configurations with up to eight, sixteen, or twenty-four hot-swap small form factor HDDs or SSDs.

technologies, as well as organizations who install their servers in segregated, or less-controlled environments. Lenovo has carefully designed and tested the RD650 to address concerns about long-term reliability. Specifically, Very stringent component temperature and voltage de-rating requirements were adopted to insure reliable operation across all supported environments. Components are placed in the system for optimal airflow, and with advanced thermal control, temperatures of critical components are often lower at higher ambient temperatures then in normal environments. The system design was thoroughly tested across the entire A4 temperature range. Table 28 shows system environmental specifications for the RD650. Table 28 Temperature, Humidity and Altitude Specifications Specification Operating ambient temperature 5 C to 45 C 41 F to 113 F Transit ambient temperature -40 C to +60 C -40 F to 140 F Operating Humidity 8 % to 90% RH, non-condensing Transit humidity 8 % to 90% RH, non-condensing Operating altitude 0-3048 m 0-10,000 ft Transit altitude 7620 m 25,000 ft Maximum allowable ambient temperatures must be derated at altitudes above 950 m (3100 ft) as shown in Figure 9. Allowable ambient temperatures between 35 C and 40 C are reduced 1 C for every 175m (575 ft) above 950m, and 1 C for every 125m (410 ft) above 950m for ambient temperatures between 40 C and 45 C. The maximum rate of temperature change allowed is 20 /hr. Copyright Lenovo 2014. All rights reserved. 26
Figure 9 Allowable Temperature vs. Altitude Acoustics Table 29 lists sound pressure levels for idle and operational modes. Listed are the declared A-Weighted sound power levels (LWAd), declared average bystander position A- Weighted sound pressure levels (LpAm), and declared operator position A-Weighted sound pressure levels (<LpAm >) when the product is operating in a 23 ± 2 C ambient environment. Noise emissions measurements are made in accordance with ISO 7779 (Acoustics-Measurement of Airborne Noise Emitted by Computer and Business Equipment EECMA 074), and are reported in conformance with ISO 9296 (Acoustics-Declared Noise Emission Values of Computer and Business Equipment ECMA 109). The declared sound power levels indicate an upper limit below which a larger proportion of machines will operate as determined according to ISO 9296. Sound pressure levels are reference quantities that might exceed the stated values in customer locations because of room reflections and other nearby noise. The listed sound levels apply only to the configuration described. Additional options may result in increased sound levels.
