The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 V2 is a mainstream 1-socket tower server that also be rack mounted as a rack server. It is ideal for small-to-medium businesses, remote offices, branch offices, banking and public sector. The server supports the new Intel Xeon E-2300 Series processors, formerly codenamed "Rocket Lake".
Availability and serviceability
Designed to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The ST250 V2 supports UDIMM memory with ECC protection which provides error correction not available in PC-class "servers" that use parity memory. Avoiding system crashes (and data loss) due to soft memory errors means greater system uptime. The server offers hot-swap (HS) SSDs and HDDs, and supports RAID redundancy for data protection and greater system uptime. Much like hot-swap drives, simple-swap drives are mounted on an easy-to-remove tray and work with the same RAID options. Simple-swap require a system power-down before adding or replacing, however simple-swap drives are less expensive than hot-swap drives. The server supports hot-swap power supplies; with two installed, they form a redundant pair to provide availability for business-critical applications.
Manageability and security
The server includes an XClarity Controller (XCC) to monitor server availability. Optional upgrade to XCC Advanced to provide remote control (keyboard video mouse) functions. Optional upgrade to XCC Enterprise enables the additional support for the mounting of remote media files (ISO and IMG image files), boot capture, and power capping. Lenovo XClarity Administrator offers comprehensive hardware management tools that help to increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities. New UEFI-based Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, accessible from F1 during boot, provides system inventory information, graphical UEFI Setup, platform update function, RAID Setup wizard, operating system installation function, and diagnostic functions.
Energy efficiency
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs. High-efficiency power supplies with 80 PLUS Platinum certifications. Energy Star certified. Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed to reduce power draw. Low-voltage 1.2 V DDR4 memory DIMMs use up to 20% less energy compared to 1.35 V DDR3 DIMMs. SSDs use as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning HDDs. The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, which can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system.
