Description

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR530 (SKU: LENOVOSR530001) is a 1U rack server designed for entry-level enterprise and SMB workloads. It belongs to the SR500 series and targets web hosting, virtualization, and entry cloud environments.

This configuration uses an Intel Xeon Bronze 3204 processor (6 cores, 1.9 GHz) with 16GB TruDDR4 memory. As a result, it delivers reliable entry-level compute performance. In addition, the platform supports up to 2× Intel Xeon Scalable processors and scales memory up to 768GB across 12 DIMM slots. Therefore, it enables efficient growth as workload demand increases.

The system provides flexible storage architecture. It supports 8× 2.5″ hot-swap drive bays in this configuration. Moreover, it supports up to 4× 3.5″ or 8× 2.5″ SAS/SATA drives and optional M.2 boot drives. This improves storage flexibility and deployment efficiency.

For storage control, the platform supports multiple RAID options, including RAID 530 and RAID 730 controllers. As a result, it ensures reliable data protection and optimized storage performance.

For networking, the system includes 2×1GbE Ethernet ports. In addition, it supports expansion through LOM and PCIe adapters for higher-speed connectivity such as 10GbE. It also provides up to 3 PCIe 3.0 slots for I/O scalability and adapter integration.

The SR530 fits SMB and enterprise environments. It works well as a virtualization host, web server, or application platform. Furthermore, it supports VMware, Hyper-V, Linux distributions, and Lenovo XClarity for centralized management.

For reliability, the system includes redundant hot-swappable power supplies (550W/750W options) and multiple cooling fans. It also supports continuous operation features and enterprise-grade firmware. Therefore, it ensures stable performance and high availability.
