Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 Server
Product Guide
Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 is an affordable, single-socket 1U rack server for small and medium businesses
that need optimized performance and flexibility for future growth, along with enterprise-class reliability,
management, and security.
The SR250 server offers a wide range of processors — from Intel Celeron to Intel Xeon E Series. With support
for a memory capacity of up to 64 GB and internal storage of up to 32 TB, the SR250 server is an ideal choice
for small- to medium-sized business, workgroups, distributed locations, and web-scale workloads.
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, SAS/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 next-generation Lenovo XClarity Controller, which is built into the SR250 server, provides advanced
service processor control, monitoring, and alerting functions.
The following figure shows the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250.

Did you know?
The SR250 server offers enterprise-class reliability features such as error correcting code (ECC), hot-swap
components, and advanced RAID protection with flexible storage options at an affordable price.
The SR250 server has a mere 19.6-inch (498 mm) deep chassis, helping customers reduce their business
footprint.
The SR250 server offers performance, energy efficiency, and serviceability features, such as NVMe PCIe
SSDs, 80 PLUS Gold and Platinum certified power supplies, and easy access to upgrades and serviceable
parts (such as memory DIMMs and adapter cards), which is not typically found in the single-socket value
servers.
