Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the SR860:
Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) monitors server availability and performs remote management.
XCC Advanced is standard, which enables remote KVM. Optional XCC Enterprise enables the
mounting of remote media files (ISO and IMG image files), boot capture, and power capping.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator offers comprehensive hardware management tools that help to
increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity through advanced server management
capabilities.
New UEFI-based Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, accessible from F1 during boot, provides
system inventory information, graphical UEFI Setup, platform update function, RAID Setup wizard,
operating system installation function, and diagnostic functions.
Support for Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager, which captures real-time power and temperature data
from the server and provides automated controls to lower energy costs.
Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 support enables advanced cryptographic methods,
such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Supports Secure Boot to ensure only a digitally signed operating system can be used. Supported
with HDDs and SSDs, as well as M.2 drives in the M.2 Adapter.
Industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) NI support for faster, stronger encryption.
Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow
attacks when combined with a supported operating system.
Intel Trusted Execution Technology provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance
to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in its own isolated space, protected
from all other software running on a system.
Energy efficiency
The SR860 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, and
increase energy availability:
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
High-efficiency power supplies with 80 PLUS Platinum certifications
Intel Intelligent Power Capability turns individual processor elements on and off as needed to
reduce power draw.
Low-voltage 1.2 V DDR4 memory offers energy savings compared to 1.35 V and 1.5 V DDR3
DIMMs.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) consume as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning 2.5-inch
HDDs.
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.
Optional 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.
