The SR250 V3 server is a compact, cost-effective, single-processor 1U rack server that has been optimized to provide enterprise-class features to small-to-medium-sized businesses, retail stores, or distributed enterprises.

Scalability and performance

The SR250 V3 offers the following features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

• Improved single-socket processor performance:
  • Intel Xeon E-2400 Series processors (“Raptor Lake”) up to to 8 cores and core speeds up to 3.5 GHz
  • Intel Pentium G7400 and G7400T processors (“Alder Lake”) with 2 cores and core speeds up to 3.7 GHz
• Up to four 4800 MHz DDR5 ECC UDIMMs provide speed and capacity of up to 128 GB
• Offers flexible and scalable internal storage in a 1U rack form factor with up to 10x 2.5-inch drives for performance-optimized configurations or up to 4x 3.5-inch drives for capacity-optimized configurations
• Up to three PCIe slots for I/O expansion, riser dependent, one of which has the new PCIe Gen5 interface to maximize I/O performance
• The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of, or along with, traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance. An SSD can support up to 100 times more I/O operations per second (IOPS) than a typical HDD.
• New high-speed RAID controllers from Lenovo and Broadcom provide 12 Gb SAS connectivity to the drive backplanes
• Supports two M.2 drives for OS boot support with VROC RAID or hardware RAID redundancy
• The server has two integrated Gigabit Ethernet ports
• Support for a NVIDIA GPU for enhanced workload performance

Energy efficiency

The 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.
