1U rack server for small-business workloads

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR250 is a 1U rack-mount system built for small-to-medium businesses that need reliable application hosting. It ships with an Intel Xeon E-2136 six-core processor running at 3.30 GHz with 4.5 GHz turbo, 64 GB of DDR4 memory and Windows Server 2019 Standard pre-installed. A rail kit is included for straightforward rack installation.

Upgrade from tower or older 1U systems

This bundle replaces a tower server or an earlier 1U unit that lacks the drive density or memory capacity for current workloads. The jump is worth it when you need four 3.5-inch bays populated with 1 TB SATA SSDs in a software RAID 0, 1, 10 or 5 array and a dedicated 1 GbE management port for remote administration. Buyers who need more than four drive bays or a redundant power supply should look elsewhere.

Tool-less rail mounting with single PSU constraint

The supplied rail kit lets one person slide the chassis into a standard rack without tools, and the front-access drive bays make SSD replacement simple. The single power supply means a power-unit failure takes the server offline, so plan for cold-spare or external UPS coverage. The Matrox G200 graphics provides only basic VGA output, so headless or remote management is the normal operating mode.

Questions about this item

What rack depth does the included Lenovo rail kit for the SR250 support?

The bundled rail kit is designed for the ThinkSystem SR250 1U chassis and mounts in a standard 19-inch rack; verify your cabinet depth before installation.

Which drive bays must be populated first when installing the four 1TB SATA SSDs for RAID?

The server provides four 3.5-inch bays; the four included 1TB SATA SSDs can occupy all bays and the onboard ATA/600 controller supports RAID 0, 1, 10, 5.

Can the 64GB DDR4 2666MHz unbuffered memory be expanded later?

The system uses DDR4 PC4-21300 2666MHz unbuffered modules; additional DIMMs of the same specification can be added to the remaining slots.
