Lenovo ThinkEdge SE455 V3 Server 1
Key features
The ThinkEdge SE455 V3 is a purpose-built server that is significantly shorter than a traditional server,
making it ideal for deployment in tight spaces. The ThinkEdge SE455 V3 puts increased processing power,
storage and network closer to where data is generated, allowing actions resulting from the analysis of that
data to take place more quickly.
Since these edge servers are typically deployed outside of secure data centers, they include technology that
encrypts the data stored on the device, protecting the data if the system is is tampered with, only enabling
authorized users to access it.
Scalability and performance
The SE455 V3 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability and reduce costs:

Enhanced operating environment
The SE455 V3 offers the following operating environment enhancements:
The server supports high ambient temperatures, up to 55°C, which allows the server to be installed in a
harsher environments, or allows greater fluctuation of temperatures in less controlled environments.
The server offers acoustic modes which gives the administrator control over maximum noise
emissions, which results in the server being less intrusive in an office or other noise-sensitive
environments.
With the SE455 V3, noise mitigation starts the moment that the power is connected. At most ambient
temperatures, fan speeds are lowered before and during the boot process, which is especially
important when the server is installed in an office or other noise-sensitive environments.
The SE455 V3 is designed to operate in rugged environments, meeting NEBS Level 3 requirements.
The server offers various dust mitigation features, including caps for all I/O ports, and a front mounted
dust filter, to maximize the system availability and uptime.

Internal storage
The SE455 V3 offers the following internal storage options:
4x 2.5-inch front hot-swap drive bays, supporting SATA or NVMe SSD drives with hot-swap trays
4x 2.5-inch internal non-hot-swap drive bays, supporting SATA or NVMe SSD drives. Drives are mounted
in a cage that rotates up for easy access.
Up to 2x M.2 drives for boot functions, supporting SATA or NVMe drives (optional RAID using a separate
PCIe adapter)
Internal drives are non-hot-swap: The drives in the internal drive bays have hot-swap trays however
they are not classed as hot-swap because the SE455 V3 does not support in-rack servicing, which means
that the server must be powered off and removed from the rack before the top cover can be opened.
The locations of these drive bays is shown in the following figure.

Front hot-swap drive bays

The SE455 V3 supports 4x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays at the front of the server, using the backplanes listed
in the following table.
Table 14. CTO feature codes for the front drive bays
BVUV ThinkEdge SE455 V3 2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane
BVUU ThinkEdge SE455 V3 2.5" NVMe Backplane
Configuration requirements:
Front drive bays are standard in all configurations of the SE455 V3 and cannot be deselected
Drives supported are either SATA or NVMe, depending on the backplane selected.
NVMe drives have a PCIe Gen 4 connection
SAS drives are currently not supported (once supported, the use of SAS drives require a RAID adapter
or SAS HBA)
Internal drive bays

The SE455 V3 supports 4x 2.5-inch drive bays internal to the server on the right side as shown in the figure
above.
The drives are installed in a cage that rotates up for easy access, and are mounted with hot-swap drive trays,
however they are not considered hot-swap. This is because the SE455 V3 does not support in-rack servicing,
which means that the server must be powered off and removed from the rack before the top cover can be
opened.
The backplanes for the internal drive bays are listed in the following table.
Tip: These internal drive backplanes are the same feature codes as the front drive backplanes.
Table 15. Internal drive bays

CTO only BVUV ThinkEdge SE455 V3 2.5" SAS/SATA Backplane
CTO only BVUU ThinkEdge SE455 V3 2.5" NVMe Backplane
Internal drive bays are optional.
Drives supported are either SATA or NVMe, depending on the backplane selected.
NVMe drives have a PCIe Gen 4 connection
The front and internal backplanes can be different (they don't both have to be SATA backplanes for
example).

SAS drives are currently not supported (once supported, the use of SAS drives require a RAID adapter
or SAS HBA).
PCIe slots 6 & 8 of Riser 2 share one of the onboard NVMe ports used by the drive bays. As a result, If
the internal drive bays are NVMe and the front drives are connected to onboard SATA or NVMe, then
slots 6 and 8 in Riser 2 are not connected. Slot 7 is still available, however. See the Configurations
section for specifics.

Optical drive
The SE455 V3 does not support an optical drive.
I/O expansion
The SE455 V3 has up to six full-height (FH) PCIe slots for adapters, plus an OCP 3.0 slot. Slots are half-length
(FHHL) by default, unless a full-length (FHFL) adapter is selected in the configurator.
Riser 1:
Riser 2 (optional)
Slot 6: PCIe Gen4 x8 (not connected in some configurations)
Slot 8: PCIe Gen4 x8 (not connected in some configurations)
OCP slot 9: PCIe G5 x16

Specific support for these slots is listed in the Configurations section.
Figure 9. Slot numbering

Ordering information for the Risers are listed in the following table. Riser 1 is standard in all configuration, but
Riser 2 is optional and can also be added as a field upgrade.
Table 31. I/O expansion

CTO only BVUR ThinkEdge SE455 V3 Riser1
4XF7A89287 BVUS ThinkEdge SE455 V3 Riser2 Kit
Configurations notes:
Risers are configured in the factory to support either full-length (FL) adapters or half-length (HL)
adapters, based on the adapters selected. Air baffles and cages are derived by the configurator based
on whether the adapters are FL or HL to ensure proper airflow and adapter support. For CTO factory
orders:
Risers with only HL adapters or without any adapters installed will be configured to only support
HL adapters
Risers with a FL adapter installed will be configured to support FL adapters or a mix of FL and
HL adapters
The use of full-length (FL) adapters requires full-length slots and the processor must have a 1U
heatsink; a 2U heatsink is not supported as the FL adapter and 2U heatsink occupy the same physical
space.
If a riser is configured to support FL adapters then it is the upper two slots that support FL adapters
(slots 3 & 4 in Riser 1, slots 6 & 7 in Riser 2). The lower slot in each riser (slot 5 and slot 9) will be a HL
slot due to physical interference of the 1U heatsink and other components.
Slot field upgrades

The risers in the SE455 V3 are configured in one of two ways, depending on the factory configuration:
Support for half-length adapters only (includes low profile): All three slots in the riser will only support
half-length adapters. This is the default configuration, and is used if no adapters are configured or if
only half-length adapters are configured.
Support for full-length adapters: The top two slots will support full-length (FHFL) adapters; the bottom
slot will only support half-length adapters. Risers will only be configured this way if an adapter in the
factory order is a full-length adapter (eg double-wide GPU).
If you wish to convert a server from full-length to half-length or from half-length to full-length, then you will
need to order the kit listed in the following table.

Tip: A server that is configured for full-length adapters does not automatically support 3x HL (or low profile)
adapters per riser, due to the required air baffles not being present. To support 3x HL adapters, you will to
order the enablement kit listed in the table.

Upgrade notes:
The server only supports FL adapters provided the CPU has a 1U heatsink attached. If a 2U heatsink is
used, then the server cannot support an upgrade to FL adapters.
If Riser 2 is not present, and you wish to add Riser 2 with FL adapter support (eg to add support for a
second DW GPU), you will only need to order ThinkEdge SE455 V3 Riser2 Kit, 4XF7A89287. The
ThinkEdge SE455 V3 Full Length Adapter Enablement Kit (4XF7A89286) is not required as
4XF7A89287 includes the needed components for FL adapters. For GPUs, you may also need to order
a GPU auxiliary power cable as described in the GPU adapters section.
If you remove a PCIe adapter or an OCP adapter, you should replace them with a slot filler to ensure the
correct airflow is maintained. Ordering details are listed in the following table.

GPU
Some NVIDIA A Series GPUs are available as two feature codes, one with a CEC chip and one without
a CEC chip (ones without the CEC chip have "w/o CEC" in the name). The CEC is a secondary
Hardware Root of Trust (RoT) module that provides an additional layer of security, which can be used
by customers who have high regulatory requirements or high security standards. NVIDIA uses a multi-
layered security model and hence the protection offered by the primary Root of Trust embedded in the

GPU is expected to be sufficient for most customers. The CEC defeatured products still offer Secure
Boot, Secure Firmware Update, Firmware Rollback Protection, and In-Band Firmware Update Disable.
Specifically, without the CEC chip, the GPU does not support Key Revocation or Firmware Attestation.
CEC and non-CEC GPUs of the same type of GPU can be mixed in field upgrades.
Installed GPUs must be identical
The use of the NVIDIA L40 GPU may require 1800W power supplies, depending on the configuration
The use of the NVIDIA L40 GPU requires:
1U heatsink
Processor with TDP ≤ 130W
Ambient temperature ≤ 40°C - see Operating environment section
No acoustic mode selected in the configurator - see Acoustic modes section
Field upgrades of the NVIDIA L40 GPU

For field upgrades to add the NVIDIA L40 GPU, additional components are required. These are automatically
included in the order for CTO builds, but must be ordered separately for field upgrades, as listed in the
following table:
Auxiliary power cable
Full-length adapter kit
You will need these two options if you are adding 1x or 2x L40 GPUs, including if you are adding a second L40
GPU to a server that already has one L40 installed in the factory.
If you have Riser 2 installed and only plan to install 1x L40 GPU, install it in Riser 2 (slot 7) to optimize thermal
and acoustic performance.
For two GPUs, you will also need to order the Riser 2 kit, if the server doesn't already have Riser 2 installed.
See the I/O expansion section.
Removing an NVIDIA L40 GPU: If you wish to remove an L40 GPU from the server and no other full-
length adapters are installed in that riser, you will also need to use the full-length adapter kit to convert the
riser from full-length to half-length. This will ensure the riser has the necessary brackets and air flow.

If two power supplies are installed, they must be identical.
Some configurations may require 1800W power supplies. To determine the power supply needed for
your configuration, use Lenovo Capacity Planner as described in the Capacity Planner section.
Power supplies from other ThinkSystem servers have fans that operate in the opposite direction and
are not supported.
For CTO orders, the quantity of power cables is limited as follows, due to space limitations in the server
packaging. Additional cables can be ordered separately using part numbers.
With the security bezel included in the order, at most 2x cables (power cords or network cables)
can be included in the CTO order
If the security bezel is not included in the order, at most 4x cables (power cords or network
cables) can be included in the CTO order

Power supply LEDs
The supported hot-swap power supplies have the following LEDs:
Power input LED:
Green: The power supply is connected to the AC power source
Off: The power supply is disconnected from the AC power source or a power problem has
occurred
Power output LED:
Green: The server is on and the power supply is working normally
Blinking green: The power supply is in Zero-output/Standby mode (see below)
Off: The server is powered off, or the power supply is not working properly
Power supply error LED:
Off: The power supply is working normally
Yellow: The power supply has failed
Zero-output mode: When Zero-output mode (also known as Standby mode or Cold Redundancy mode) is
configured in XCC and the server power load is sufficiently low, one of the installed power supplies enters into
the Standby state while the other one delivers entire load. When the power load increases, the standby power
supply will switch to Active state to provide sufficient power to the server. Zero-output mode can be enabled or
disabled in the XClarity Controller web interface, Server Configuration > Power Policy. If you select Disable,
then both power supplies will be in the Active state.
Power cords
Line cords and rack power cables with C13 connectors can be ordered as listed in the following table.
110V customers: If you plan to use the 1100W power supply with a 110V power source, select a power
cable that is rated above 10A. Power cables that are rated at 10A or below are not supported with 110V
power.

Platform Firmware Resiliency - Lenovo ThinkShield

Lenovo's ThinkShield Security is a transparent and comprehensive approach to security that extends to all
dimensions of our data center products: from development, to supply chain, and through the entire product
lifecycle.

The ThinkEdge SE455 V3 includes Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) hardware Root of Trust (RoT) which
enables the system to be NIST SP800-193 compliant. This offering further enhances key platform subsystem
protections against unauthorized firmware updates and corruption, to restore firmware to an integral state, and
to closely monitor firmware for possible compromise from cyber-attacks.
PFR operates upon the following server components:
UEFI image – the low-level server firmware that connects the operating system to the server hardware
XCC image – the management “engine” software that controls and reports on the server status
separate from the server operating system
FPGA image – the code that runs the server’s lowest level hardware controller on the motherboard
The Lenovo Platform Root of Trust Hardware performs the following three main functions:
Detection – Measures the firmware and updates for authenticity
Recovery – Recovers a corrupted image to a known-safe image
Protection – Monitors the system to ensure the known-good firmware is not maliciously written
These enhanced protection capabilities are implemented using a dedicated, discrete security processor
whose implementation has been rigorously validated by leading third-party security firms. Security evaluation
results and design details are available for customer review – providing unprecedented transparency and
assurance.
The SE455 V3 includes support for Secure Boot, a UEFI firmware security feature developed by the UEFI
Consortium that ensures only immutable and signed software are loaded during the boot time. The use of
Secure Boot helps prevent malicious code from being loaded and helps prevent attacks, such as the
installation of rootkits. Lenovo offers the capability to enable secure boot in the factory, to ensure end-to-end
protection. Alternatively, Secure Boot can be left disabled in the factory, allowing the customer to enable it
themselves at a later point, if desired.
The following table lists the relevant feature code(s).

CTO BPKR TPM 2.0 Configure the system without Secure Boot enabled. Customers can enable
only Secure Boot later if desired.
Tip: If Secure Boot is not enabled in the factory, it can be enabled later by the customer. However once
Secure Boot is enabled, it cannot be disabled.
System Lockdown Mode

System Lockdown Mode is an optional security feature of the SE455 V3 that ensures that the system is only
used by its intended recipient and that all data and applications remains secure.
System Lockdown Mode is an optional feature that can be remotely managed in two ways:
ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed. This provides a centralised remote management approach,
allowing the administrator to remotely managed multiple systems and to register ownership of systems
to their company, which reduces the system’s value if stolen.
XClarity Controller Managed. This provides remote management level control to an individual system
using XCC web interface, OneCLI or Redfish.

To select ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed in factory orders, select feature BYBR, as listed in the
following table. The default in DCSC is to select XClarity Controller Managed, feature BYBQ.
Table 56. Feature codes to activate System Lockdown mode

Feature
code Description Purpose
BYBR ThinkShield Key System Lockdown Mode is enabled in the factory (Activation required on delivery).
Vault Portal Managed The server remains secured and in System Lockdown Mode until registered and
activated with the ThinkEdge Key Vault Portal. Unauthorized tampering of the
server will result in the server being locked down and the data secured, and will
remain in this state until reauthenticated with the Key Vault Portal.
BYBQ XClarity Controller Default choice in DCSC. System Lockdown Mode is not enabled in the factory.
Managed Configures the server security to be managed by the XCC2 management
processor. Server will boot at first power on and, by default, will not be locked down
on any tamper event. You can configure tamper detection in the XCC2 interface if
desired. The server can be converted to be managed ThinkShield Key Vault Portal
at a later stage if desired (one-way conversion).
If System Lockdown is enabled in the factory, the system will be delivered in system lockdown mode and will
require activation before operation. There are three ways the server can be activated:
Using a mobile device (iOS or Android) connect to the server to the USB management port on the front
of the server and running the ThinkShield Edge Mobile Management app .
Connecting the system to the Internet via the XCC management port on the front of the server and
accessing the ThinkShield Key Vault Portal from a web browser on another system.
In a disconnected mode, where neither a mobile device or an internet connection to the SE455 V3 are
available.
For more information, see ThinkEdge Security, available from:
https://lenovopress.lenovo.com/lp1725-thinkedge-security
Converting from XCC Managed to Portal Managed : Is it possible to convert a system from XCC
Managed security to ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed via the XCC management interface, however
the reverse is not possible. Once a server is in ThinkShield Key Vault Portal Managed mode, it cannot be
converted back to XClarity Controller Managed.
The SE455 V3 offers a Security LED that indicates the status of the server:
LED on: Security is enabled; System is operational.
LED blinking: Security is enabled and the server is in lockdown, either due to being delivered from the
factory in lockdown mode or has entered lockdown as a result of a tamper event. System must be
activated or reactivated before becoming operational.
LED off: Security is disabled; System is operational.

SED encryption in factory orders
The SE455 V3 also optionally supports enabling SED drive encryption in the factory using feature BYBS as
listed in the following table. This feature enables SED on the selected drives and sets and SED Authentication
Key (SED AK).
If SED drive encryption is disabled in factory, it is possible to enable it later in XClarity Controller. Note that it is
not possible to disable drive encryption once it has been enabled.
Tip: SED encryption is a function that is independent of System Lockdown Control.
Table 57. SED encryption in factory orders

Feature code Description Purpose
BYBS SED Enables SED drive encryption on all factory installed drives and sets an SED
Enabled Authentication Key (AK).
C1QS SED No drive encryption set in factory. It can be enabled later in XClarity Controller.

AMD Infinity Guard

The SE455 V3 implements the following security features enabled in the AMD EPYC processor:
Secure Memory Encryption
Helps protect against attacks on the integrity of main memory (such as cold-boot attacks) because it
encrypts the data. High-performance encryption engines integrated into the memory channels help
speed performance. All of this is accomplished without modifications to your application software.
Secure Encrypted Virtualization
Helps safeguard privacy and integrity by encrypting each virtual machine with one of up to 509 unique
encryption keys known only to the processor. This aids in protecting confidentiality of your data even if
a malicious virtual machine finds a way into your virtual machine’s memory, or a compromised
hypervisor reaches into a guest virtual machine.
Secure Nested Paging
Adds strong memory integrity protection capabilities to help prevent malicious hypervisor based
attacks like data replay, memory re-mapping, and more in order to create an isolated execution
environment.
Secure Boot
Mitigates against firmware-level attacks, Extends the AMD silicon root of trust to help protect the
system BIOS. This helps the system establish an unbroken chain of trust from the AMD silicon root of
trust to the BIOS using AMD Secure Boot, and then from the system BIOS to the OS Bootloader using
UEFI secure boot.
Shadow Stack
Provides hardware-enforced stack protection capabilities address threat vectors such as return
oriented programming attacks by keeping a record of the return addresses so a comparison can be
made to ensure integrity is not compromised. In addition, AMD Shadow Stack enables Microsoft®
hardware enforced stack protection.
For more information, see the AMD Infinity Guard web page:

EIA bracket with security screw
The SE455 V3 offers two types of EIA brackets (also known as ear brackets or ears):
Standard EIA bracket - uses thumbscrews to secure the server to the front flange of the cabinet
Security EIA bracket - uses security screws and key to secure the server to the front flange of the
cabinet
The use of the security bracket and key (the key is included with the brackets) aids in preventing unauthorized
personnel from removing the server from the rack.
The following figure shows the two EIA bracket types.
Figure 15. EIA brackets for the SE455 V3

Ordering information is listed in the following table.

EIA bracket adjustment

When installed in a rack cabinet, the EIA brackets on either side of the SE455 V3 chassis can be adjusted to
best fit the front cabling and clearance needs of your environment. The EIA brackets can be in one of six
different positions as shown in the following figure.
Position 1 locates the server as far back into the rack cabinet as possible, such that the front of the security
bezel is flush with the front flange of the cabinet. The distance between positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 is 12.5
mm. Position "Max" positions the server as far forward as possible, and is an additional 37.5 mm from position
6, for a total of 112.5 mm difference between positions 1 and Max.

Acoustic modes
The SE455 V3 supports different acoustic modes, which optimize the operation of system fans to lower the
overall noise level of the server. This is achieved by closely monitoring components to ensure they operate
within the cooling available.
You can specify which acoustic mode you want enabled in the factory by specifying one of the feature codes
listed in the following table in the DCSC configurator. By selecting the mode, the configurator will limit the
configuration options to ensure the noise requirements are met. You can also specify or change the acoustic
mode in UEFI. During server operation, power capping may be enabled, if needed, to ensure that noise limits
are met.

Table 65. Acoustic modes in DCSC
Feature code Description Meaning
BY8K Acoustic Mode Disabled The server will not actively cap noise levels
BY92 Optimised for Acoustics - Mode 1 With proper configuration, the server operates with a
sound pressure level of:
45 dBA at 25°C and below

52 dBA at 25°C to 30°C
58 dBA at 30°C to 35°C.
BY91 Optimised for Acoustics - Mode 2 With proper configuration, the server operates with a
sound pressure level of:
40 dBA at 25°C and below

The acoustic modes are designed to run with an ambient temperature of no more than 35°C. Above 35°C, the
acoustic mode will be exited to prevent the system from overheating. Once the ambient temperature returns
to below 35°C, the acoustic mode will be re-enabled automatically.
The following table lists the components that are recommended in the acoustic modes.

Government regulations (such as those prescribed by OSHA or European Community Directives) may
govern noise level exposure in the workplace and may apply to you and your server installation. The
actual sound pressure levels in your installation depend upon a variety of factors, including the number
of racks in the installation; the size, materials, and configuration of the room; the noise levels from
other equipment; the room ambient temperature, and employee's location in relation to the equipment.
Further, compliance with such government regulations depends on a variety of additional factors,
including the duration of employees' exposure and whether employees wear hearing protection.
Lenovo recommends that you consult with qualified experts in this field to determine whether you are in
compliance with the applicable regulations.

Lenovo Financial Services

Why wait to obtain the technology you need now? No payments for 90 days and predictable, low monthly
payments make it easy to budget for your Lenovo solution.
Flexible
Our in-depth knowledge of the products, services and various market segments allows us to offer
greater flexibility in structures, documentation and end of lease options.
100% Solution Financing
Financing your entire solution including hardware, software, and services, ensures more predictability
in your project planning with fixed, manageable payments and low monthly payments.
Device as a Service (DaaS)
Leverage latest technology to advance your business. Customized solutions aligned to your needs.
Flexibility to add equipment to support growth. Protect your technology with Lenovo's Premier Support
service.
24/7 Asset management
Manage your financed solutions with electronic access to your lease documents, payment histories,
invoices and asset information.

Fair Market Value (FMV) and $1 Purchase Option Leases
Maximize your purchasing power with our lowest cost option. An FMV lease offers lower monthly
payments than loans or lease-to-own financing. Think of an FMV lease as a rental. You have the
flexibility at the end of the lease term to return the equipment, continue leasing it, or purchase it for the
fair market value. In a $1 Out Purchase Option lease, you own the equipment. It is a good option when
you are confident you will use the equipment for an extended period beyond the finance term. Both
lease types have merits depending on your needs. We can help you determine which option will best
meet your technological and budgetary goals.
Ask your Lenovo Financial Services representative about this promotion and how to submit a credit
application. For the majority of credit applicants, we have enough information to deliver an instant decision
and send a notification within minutes.
