The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V3 is a compact and versatile 1U single-socket rack server designed for small to medium businesses and remote edge deployments that require enterprise-class reliability, advanced manageability, and optimized performance. Powered by the Intel Xeon E-2488 processor featuring 8 cores at 3.2 GHz and a 95W thermal design power (TDP), this server offers a balanced combination of compute efficiency and scalability.
Equipped with 16GB of TruDDR5 ECC memory (expandable to 128GB across four UDIMM slots), the SR250 V3 supports high-speed memory operations ideal for virtualization, databases, and cloud workloads. It features flexible storage configurations supporting up to ten 2.5" SAS/SATA drives or a mix of 3.5" drives with NVMe options and hardware RAID adapters to meet diverse performance and capacity needs.
The integrated Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2) enables advanced system monitoring, remote management, and alerting, empowering IT administrators with seamless control. Connectivity is delivered through dual 1 Gb Ethernet ports and multiple PCIe expansion slots, including one capable of PCIe Gen5 (depending on riser), with optional GPU support for enhanced computation demands.
Designed with reliability and serviceability in mind, the server supports tool-less servicing, optional hot-swap drives and power supplies, and a front operator panel with status LEDs and mobile tethering features. Security features include TPM 2.0, hardware root of trust, Intel Boot Guard, and Intel SGX (processor dependent).
Energy efficiency is maximized with 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies, variable-speed fans, and Intelligent Power Capability from Intel. The SR250 V3 is well suited for business-critical applications such as virtualization, web services, entry-level cloud, and database processing within a compact 1U rack footprint.
