The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 V3 is a tower server of the ThinkSystem series, designed for use in small and medium-sized enterprises, branches, banks, and the public sector. The system is based on an Intel® Xeon® processor of the 6353P series and is designed for operation in stationary environments. It features an 8-core processor with a base clock speed of 2.7 GHz and a boost clock speed of 5.4 GHz, providing balanced performance for office applications, file servers, virtual work environments, and small database applications. The processor includes a 24 MB L3 cache, which enhances efficiency for parallel tasks. The system supports the Intel Xeon E-2400 series, which is based on the Raptor Lake architecture.

Applications

The ST250 V3 is suitable for use in decentralized locations where a robust, maintenance-friendly server solution is required. The combination of tower design and rack-mount capability offers flexibility in installation. Support for operating systems such as Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi makes the server suitable for various IT environments, particularly for companies relying on virtualization and hybrid infrastructures.

Features and Specifications in Detail

The system is equipped with 16 GB DDR5-SDRAM RAM, installed in one DIMM slot, with a total of four DIMM slots available. The memory clock speed is 4800 MHz, enabling fast data processing. The maximum RAM capacity of the system is 128 GB, allowing for scalability to meet future requirements. The memory supports ECC (Error-Correcting Code), which enhances data security by automatically correcting errors in the working memory.

Technology Explained Simply

The server features four internal drive bays in 3.5-inch format, equipped with hot-swap functionality, allowing for quick replacement of hard drives without system restart. Supported interfaces include SAS and SATA, enabling flexible integration of various storage media. The integrated graphics solution offers a maximum graphics memory of 16 MB and is sufficient for basic applications such as system maintenance and remote administration.

Compatibility and Accessories

The server supports installation of operating systems such as Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi. Network connectivity is provided via two RJ-45 Ethernet ports with Gigabit Ethernet technology (10/100/1000Base-T(X)), controlled by a Broadcom 5720 controller. This ensures a stable and fast network connection for local networks and remote administration.

Mounting and Installation

The housing is in tower format and has dimensions of 176 mm (width) × 444 mm (height) × 578 mm (depth). It is designed for use on a desk or in a server room. Installation requires no special tools, with hot-swap drives simply inserted into designated slots. The power supply is 800 W and supports redundant power supply, thereby increasing system availability. The power supply is 80 PLUS Platinum certified, guaranteeing high efficiency and energy performance.

Operational Advantages

The server provides a stable platform with integrated performance management via XCC Platinum, enabling centralized monitoring and control. The integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0 supports secure authentication and encryption, which is important for protecting sensitive data. Operating conditions include a temperature range of 5 to 45 °C and relative humidity of 8 to 90 %, allowing the server to operate in typical office and server environments. Storage is possible at temperatures from -40 to 60 °C and relative humidity of 8 to 90 %.

Connectors and Interfaces

For connecting peripheral devices, five USB 3.2 Gen 1 (3.1 Gen 1) Type-A ports, one USB 2.0 port, one VGA (D-Sub) port, and one serial port are available. These interfaces enable connection of monitors, keyboards, mice, and other devices for maintenance and configuration purposes.

Operating System Support

Compatibility with common operating systems such as Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi enables flexible use in various IT environments. The systems can be used for both physical server workloads and virtualization platforms.

Energy Efficiency and Operational Reliability

The 800-watt power supply is 80 PLUS Platinum certified, ensuring high energy efficiency and low power loss. Support for redundant power supply increases server availability, especially in critical application scenarios. Operating conditions are designed for indoor use, with a maximum operating altitude of 3050 meters.

Design and Form Factor

The housing is black and in tower format. The form factor allows for flexible placement, whether on a desk or in a server room. The front side provides access to the hot-swap drives, while the rear side includes the network and USB connectors.
