    Description

    The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR868 is a 4U rack-mount server engineered for exceptional price/performance and versatility, powered by two Intel® Xeon® Bronze 5218 processors (16 cores each at 2.3 GHz) and 64 GB of DDR4 memory. With quad-port 1 GbE onboard networking and dual 1100 W redundant power supplies, the SR868 delivers reliable connectivity and continuous uptime for virtualization, data analytics, and database consolidation workloads.

    Lenovo’s XClarity Controller integration simplifies lifecycle management—automating provisioning, monitoring, and firmware updates—to reduce manual operations by up to 95 %, while ThinkShield security features protect data across the server’s entire lifecycle.

    The SR868’s modular mezzanine tray allows “pay-as-you-grow” upgrades to up to four second-generation Xeon Scalable CPUs and expanded memory, yielding as much as 36 % higher performance compared to previous generations.

    Scalable storage options include up to sixteen 2.5″ SAS/SATA bays or eight NVMe bays, plus two mirrored M.2 boot devices—and support for PERC 730i hardware RAID—enabling high-performance I/O and data protection for mission-critical applications.

    Key Features

    • Dual Intel® Xeon® Bronze 5218 CPUs (2.3 GHz, 16 cores each) for balanced compute power

    • 64 GB DDR4 Memory (2× 32 GB modules; expandable to 6 TB with 48 DIMM slots)

    • Flexible Storage: Up to 16× 2.5″ SAS/SATA HDD/SSD or 8× NVMe SSD; 2× mirrored M.2 boot SSDs; PERC 730i RAID

    • Networking: Integrated PERC 730i controller and 4× 1 GbE LOM; mezzanine slots for 10/25/40/100 GbE or InfiniBand

    • Redundant Power: Dual 1100 W hot-swap PSUs (80 PLUS Platinum) for high availability

    • Modular Scalability: Mezzanine tray supports upgrade to up to four second-gen Xeon Scalable CPUs and 6 TB memory

    • Enterprise Management: Lenovo XClarity Controller, XClarity Administrator, Integrator plugins, and Energy Manager
