    Description

    The [Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650](#Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650) is a 2U, two-socket rack server optimized for small businesses through large enterprises, handling databases, virtualization, cloud, VDI, and big-data analyticsLenovo Press. Powered by up to two Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family Gen 2 processors—with up to 28 cores, 38.5 MB cache, and 10.4 GT/s UPI links—it delivers 36 % higher performance over its predecessorLenovo Press.

    Memory scales to 3 TB using 24 DIMMs of TruDDR4 at up to 2933 MT/s, and up to 7.5 TB when augmented with Intel® Optane™ DC Persistent Memory modules, accelerating in-memory and virtualization workloads while maintaining data integrity via ECC, Chipkill, and memory rank sparingLenovo Press.

    Storage is highly flexible: front bays can house up to 24 2.5″ AnyBay drives (SAS/SATA/NVMe) or 14 3.5″ HDD/SSD, plus two onboard U.2 NVMe ports to free PCIe slots, and two M.2 boot drives for OS without consuming drive baysLenovo Press.

    Six rear PCIe 3.0 slots support additional NICs, HBAs, or accelerators, delivering up to 8 GT/s per link via Intel Integrated I/OLenovo Press.

    Lenovo XClarity Controller (embedded) and XClarity Administrator (centralized) automate deployment, firmware updates, and health monitoring—cutting provisioning time by up to 95 %—while ThinkShield security (TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, PFR, chassis intrusion) protects your data end-to-endLenovo Press. Enterprise RAS features like Predictive Failure Analysis and light-path diagnostics ensure 24×7 uptime in ASHRAE A4 environments (up to 45 °C)Lenovo Press
