Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V3 - 7DCLA04XEA

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V3 is a high-value single-socket 1U rack server for growing businesses that need optimized performance and flexibility for future growth, along with enterprise-class reliability, management, and security. The server supports one Intel Xeon 6300 Series processor or one Intel Xeon E-2400 Series processor (formerly codenamed "Raptor Lake-E (RPL-E)") or Intel Pentium ("Alder Lake (ADL)") and up to 128 GB memory.

Flexible and scalable internal storage configurations include up to ten 2.5-inch or four 3.5-inch drives with affordable software RAID or advanced hardware RAID protection and a wide selection of drive sizes and types, including NVMe PCIe SSDs, SATA SSDs, and SAS/SATA HDDs. Also, it features integrated dual-port 1 Gb Ethernet NIC and additional PCIe expansion slots for hardware RAID protection, network scalability, and external storage connectivity.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V3 is an entry-level server with enterprise-grade management features and support for hot-swap power supplies and drives. It offers full support of Lenovo XClarity Administrator for comprehensive systems management and includes the next generation UEFI-based Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager for system setup and diagnosis, and the Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2) management processor for ongoing systems management and alerting. These tools make the SR250 V3 easy to deploy, integrate, service, and manage.

Scalability and performance

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V3 delivers strong single-socket performance with Intel Xeon E-2400 Series (up to 8 cores, 3.5 GHz) and Intel Pentium G7400/G7400T processors. It supports up to 128 GB DDR5 ECC memory (4800 MHz) across 4 UDIMM slots for high speed and reliability.

The 1U rack server offers flexible storage with up to 4 x 3.5-inch drives, along with SSD and M.2 boot support with RAID redundancy. PCIe expansion (up to 3 slots, including PCIe Gen5) enables high I/O performance and optional NVIDIA GPU support.

High-speed 12 Gb SAS RAID controllers improve storage efficiency, while SSDs deliver significantly higher IOPS compared to HDDs. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure stable connectivity.

Availability and serviceability

Built for 24/7 operation, the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V3 enhances uptime with ECC memory, RAID protection, and optional hot-swap components. Tool-less access simplifies upgrades and maintenance.

Lenovo XClarity Controller 2 (XCC2) provides continuous monitoring, alerts, and diagnostics. Proactive alerts, mobile management, and built-in UEFI diagnostics help reduce downtime and improve serviceability.

Optional redundant power supplies and auto-restart features further improve system availability. Warranty and next-business-day service options are available.

Manageability and security

The server includes Lenovo XClarity tools for centralized hardware management, remote monitoring, and system control.

Security features include TPM 2.0, AES-NI encryption, Intel Execute Disable Bit, Intel Boot Guard, and optional Intel SGX support. These help protect against firmware-level and software-based attacks. A lockable bezel adds physical security.

Energy efficiency

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 V3 server offers the following energy saving features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment:

  • Delivers optimized compute power per watt, featuring 80 PLUS Gold (fixed) and Platinum (hot-swap) AC power supplies.
  • Reduces power drawn with Intel Intelligent Power Capability that powers individual processor elements on and off as needed.
  • Helps reduce power consumption with variable speed fans.
  • Helps achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs with Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager that provides advanced data center power notification, analysis, and policy-based management.
