Product Identity

The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST50 V3 is an entry tower server built around an Intel Xeon E-2488 processor running at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores and a 5.6 GHz maximum turbo frequency. It ships with 16 GB of DDR5 ECC memory at 4400 MHz and a 500 W power supply in a chassis designed for general-purpose workloads.

Fit and Limits

This system suits small businesses or remote offices that need a quiet tower form factor with Xeon reliability and room to grow memory up to 128 GB across four DIMM slots. Buyers who require pre-installed storage, higher-speed networking or redundant power supplies should evaluate other platforms.

Deciding Specification

The single specification that determines fit is the storage configuration: no hard drives or SSDs are installed and the onboard controller provides only SATA III with RAID 0 or 1, so you must add your own drives and accept that interface limit.

Questions about this item

How does the Xeon E-2488 at 3.2 GHz with 8 cores behave in a real workload?

The processor runs at a 3.2 GHz base frequency and can reach 5.6 GHz turbo across its 8 cores, delivering responsive performance for general-purpose server tasks.

What PCIe generations are available on the three expansion slots and what bandwidth do they provide?

Slot 1 and Slot 3 are PCIe 4.0 x4 open-ended at 25 W each, while Slot 2 is PCIe 5.0 x16 closed-ended at 75 W for higher-bandwidth add-in cards.

What chassis clearance and power budget do the full-height half-length PCIe slots require?

Each slot accepts full-height half-length cards; Slot 1 and Slot 3 supply up to 25 W, and Slot 2 supplies up to 75 W from the 500 W power supply.
