LENOVO THINKSYSTEM SREVER ST50V2 E-2356 INTEL XEON 3.2GHz 6CORE 16GB DDR 4 2X2TB HDD

The ThinkSystem ST50 V2 server is an office-friendly tower server that has been optimized to provide enterprise-class features to small businesses, retail, educational institutions and branch offices.

Scalability and performance

The ST50 V2 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

• Improved single-socket processor performance:
  • Intel Xeon E-2300 Series processors ("Rocket Lake-E") up to to 8 cores and core speeds up to 3.7 GHz
  • Intel Pentium G6405, G6505 and G6605 processors ("Comet Lake Refresh") with 2 cores and core speeds up to 4.3 GHz
• Up to four 3200 MHz DDR4 ECC UDIMMs provide speed and capacity of up to 128 GB
• Three PCIe slots for I/O expansion, one of which has the new PCIe Gen4 interface to maximize I/O performance.
• Support for a NVMe M.2 drive for OS boot operations
• Up to three non-hot-swap (NHS) drive bays, two 3.5-inch and one 2.5-inch, supporting hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) provide flexible internal storage capacity.
• The use of SSDs instead of, or along with, traditional spinning drives (HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance.

Availability and serviceability

The ST50 V2 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:

• Designed to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• The server 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.
• Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as memory and adapter cards.
• A choice of affordable onboard SATA RAID or advanced hardware RAID redundancy offers data protection and greater system uptime.
• The use of SSDs can provide better reliability than the use of traditional HDDs, for greater uptime.
• Built-in Active Management Technology based on Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) 15.0 which continuously monitors system parameters, sends alerts, and enables administrators to perform remote recovery actions to minimize downtime.
• The Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Lite tool can be used to install an operating system on the server and perform system diagnostics.
• One-year or three-year customer-replaceable unit (CRU) and onsite limited warranty with next business day response. Optional service upgrades are available.

Energy efficiency

The ST50 V2 offers the following energy saving features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:

• 80 PLUS Platinum-certified power supply (select models) enables greater energy savings while providing flexibility to meet your business needs.
• Intelligent Cooling Engine (ICE) actively monitors component temperatures in real-time and optimally adjusts the speeds of the fans to keep the system cooler and quieter.
• The ThinkSystem Capacity Planner tool provides information about the power consumption and electric current calculation for the different configurations of servers and other devices, which helps plan deployment of servers and devices in an efficient way.
• Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to reduce power draw.

The ThinkSystem ST50 V2 improves on the previous generation ST50, as summarized in the following table.
