Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 Server
Product Guide
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 is a 4-socket server that features a 4U rack design with support for
GPUs, and is optimized for price and performance and best-in-class expandability. Models of the SR860
are powered by up to four Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family processors, each with up to 28 cores, for
an efficient 4-socket solution. Using the same design as the 2U ThinkSystem SR850, the SR860's agile
design provides rapid upgrades for processors and memory, and its large, flexible storage capacity helps
to keep pace with data growth.
Suggested uses: General business consolidation, data analytics, virtualization, database, dense computing
and scientific applications
Country availability: The ThinkSystem SR860 is only available in countries in Europe, the Middle East
and Africa (EMEA), and in China.

Did you know?
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 provides the advanced features and capabilities of the SR850 server plus
the addition of support for four full-height slots or two double-wide GPU slots. The server offers support
for up to four processors and 48 DIMMs, mix and match internal storage, and enterprise-grade systems
management with the embedded Lenovo XClarity Controller.
The SR860 has space for 16x 2.5-inch drive bays, up to 8 of which can be configured as AnyBay drives -
supporting SAS, SATA or NVMe drives. NVMe drives are high-speed, low-latency storage, ideal for storage
tiering.

  • Page 1 Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 Server Product Guide The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 is a 4-socket server that features a 4U rack design with support for GPUs, and is optimized for price and performance and best-in-class expandability. Models of the SR860 are powered by up to four Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family processors, each with up to 28 cores, for an efficient 4-socket solution.
  • Page 2: Key Features

    Key features The flexible ThinkSystem SR860 server can scale from two to four Intel Xeon Gold or Platinum processors, delivering significantly faster performance than the previous generation. Built for standard workloads like general business applications and server consolidation, it can also accommodate high-growth areas such as databases and virtualization.
  • Page 3 Built-in diagnostics in UEFI, using Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, speed up troubleshooting tasks to reduce service time. Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager collects and saves service data to USB key drive or remote CIFS share folder, for troubleshooting and to reduce service time.
  • Page 4 UEFI Setup, platform update function, RAID Setup wizard, operating system installation function, and diagnostic functions. Support for Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager, which captures real-time power and temperature data from the server and provides automated controls to lower energy costs.

  • Page 7: Standard Specifications

    Intel C624 "Lewisburg" chipset Memory Up to 48 DIMM sockets (12 DIMMs per processor) supporting Lenovo TruDDR4 DIMMs at up to 2666 MHz. RDIMMs and LRDIMMs (Load Reduced DIMMs) are supported, but memory types cannot be mixed. There are 24 DIMM sockets on the system board, and an additional 24 DIMM sockets on the processor and memory expansion tray (standard on most models).
  • Page 8: Components Specification

    It is also supported to have the PCIe Expansion Tray installed with only one riser installed. For example, it is supported to have a riser card in slot 3 but not in slot 13; slot 13 can then be used as a PCIe x16 slot. Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 Server...
