Power Cords¶
Please refer to the Lenovo Power Cord Documentation
Note
The Lenovo SR630V3 power supplies can operate at different voltages depending on the country of use and the datacenter power infrastructure. Please choose the appropriate power cord for your country and voltage.
Network Adapters for Real Equipment Pods¶
The Intel I350-T4 PCIe 1GbE RJ45 4-Port PCIe Ethernet Adapter was selected for its ability to do 10/100/1000 Mbps connections.
When connecting the server to the NDG Master Control Switch, there are a limited number of 1Gbps ports and may require the use of a 10/100Mbps port.
This card could also be used for Internet connections to pods, line rate limiting them at 1Gbps if your institution has a larger Internet connection rate.
The Intel X710-T4L 10GBASE-T 4-port OCP Ethernet Adapter does NOT support 10/100 Mbps connections.
