Technical specifications

Summary of the technical specifications of server. Depending on the model, some features might not be available, or some specifications might not apply.

Processor
This server comes with one LGA 1700 socket that supports one of the following Intel® processors scalable up to eight cores and up to 95W TDP:

  • Xeon® E

  • Pentium ®

Note
Only the Xeon® E processor supports Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT) feature.

For a list of supported processors, see: Lenovo ServerProven website.

Note

Due to Intel processor transient throttling behavior in turbo, the CPU turbo ratio limit of 95W processor is set to lower frequency as the default setting to avoid processor throttling.

Memory

See Memory module installation rules and order for detailed information about memory configuration and setup.

  • Minimum: 16 GB

  • Maximum: 128 GB

  • Slots: four DIMM slots (two channels, two DIMMs per channel)

  • Memory module type:

    • TruDDR5 4800MHz ECC UDIMM: 16 GB (1Rx8)

    • TruDDR5 4800MHz ECC UDIMM: 32 GB (2Rx8)

Note
Memory operates at up to 4400 MHz, depending on Memory module installation rules and order

For a list of supported memory modules, see: Lenovo ServerProven website.

M.2 Drive
Supports up to two SATA M.2 drives of the following drive form factors:

  • 42 mm (2242)

For a list of supported M.2 drives, see: Lenovo ServerProven website.

Note
  • When a ThinkSystem M.2 SATA/x4 NVMe 2-Bay Enablement Kit is installed, eight SATA/SAS drives configured with software RAID is not supported.

  • Disabling the ThinkSystem M.2 SATA/NVMe 2-Bay Non-Hot-Swap RAID Enablement Kit through UEFI setup menu or LXPM is not supported.

Storage expansion
Available drive bays might vary by model.

  • 2.5-inch models:

    • Supports up to eight hot-swap SAS/SATA drives.

    • Supports up to four simple-swap SATA drives.

    • Supports up to two simple-swap SATA drives and two NVMe drives.

    • Supports up to four hot-swap SAS/SATA drives.

Note

When all eight storage drives have been installed, and the system has been set to software RAID mode in the UEFI settings, regardless if the disks are configured as an array or as separate disks, drives 6 and 7 cannot be used to install the Windows operating system.

Expansion slots
Up to two expansion slots (depending on the server configuration):
  • x16 PCIe riser:

    • Slot 1: Not available
