ThinkSystem ST250 V3 tower server

The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 V3 is a 4U tower server that can also be rack-mounted. It arrives with one Intel Xeon E-2488 processor running at 3.2 GHz and 16 GB of DDR5 ECC memory installed. The platform supports up to 128 GB across four UDIMM slots.

Suited for small-business workloads

This configuration fits environments that need a single-socket server with room for storage expansion and optional GPU acceleration. It is not for deployments that require dual-processor scaling, higher core counts per socket, or built-in 10 GbE networking.

Single-socket Xeon E-2400 platform

The motherboard accepts only one Intel Xeon E-2400 series CPU, so processor upgrades stay within that single-socket limit. Memory growth is capped at 128 GB using 32 GB DDR5 UDIMMs at 4400 MHz.

Questions about this item

What rack height and clearance does the 4U tower chassis require for mounting?

The server occupies a 4U rack height when the optional rack-mount kit is installed; allow standard 4U vertical space and front-to-rear airflow clearance in the cabinet.

Which memory slots must be populated first when adding DDR5 UDIMMs to reach 128 GB?

Install 32 GB DDR5 4400 MHz ECC UDIMMs in all four DIMM slots following the population order shown in the ThinkSystem ST250 V3 setup guide to achieve the 128 GB maximum.

When should the 500 W titanium power supply be replaced if the system runs continuous 95 W CPU loads?

The 500 W titanium PSU is rated for continuous operation at the Xeon E-2488 95 W TDP; replace it only if the unit reports a fault via XClarity Controller 2 or shows degraded efficiency after its rated service life.
