The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST650 V2 tower server delivers the next generation of IT adaptability to meet the modern enterprise's ever-increasing workload requirements. Based on the 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, this system supports PCIe 4.0, Intel Optane Persistent memory, and dense storage up front with NVMe compatibility.
Supporting the newest industry innovations, the Lenovo ThinkSystem ST650 V2 tower server features higher TDP CPUs from Intel’s 3rd generation Xeon Scalable processors. It also offers a larger memory footprint, several storage capacities for both SFF and LFF, plus support for more GPUs than its predecessor, the ST550 tower server. The system offers 32x memory module slots and up to 32x storage bays, plus up to 8x GPUs in a 4U form factor.
Powered by dual 3rd generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors with up to 36 cores and 72 threads each, the ST650 V2 is able to support the latest technology. The 10nm process technology on each of the CPUs supports a TDP rating of up to 250W to deliver the best performance, and includes an 8-channel memory configuration, PCIe 4.0, and high-performance GPU support. Options for power supplies include dual redundant 2400W PSUs to keep the system running smoothly even when fully configured for GPU support.
As mentioned in the section above, each processor has 8 memory channels, and can be outfitted with two DIMMs per channel. This adds up to 16x DIMMs per processor or 32x active DIMM slots with both processors installed. The ST650 V2 uses Lenovo TruDDR4 memory as well as Intel’s Optane Persistent Memory 200 series (PMem) modules. PMem was designed for data center usage because it delivers a one-of-a-kind mix of low-cost, high-capacity memory, and long-term stability. It has a far lower latency than retrieving data from SSDs, including NVMe SSDs, plus it provides for a much larger memory capacity compared to traditional offerings using DRAMs. A maximum of 16x PMem modules can be installed in conjunction with regular system memory for a total of 6TB of memory when 256GB PMem modules paired with 128GB 3DS RDIMMs are deployed. With just 3DS RDIMMs, the ST650 V2 supports a total of 4TB with operating speeds of up to 3200MHz.
Matching the number of memory module slots, the ThinkSystem ST650 V2 offers up to 32x 2.5-inch drives or up to 16x 3.5-inch drives with several different configurations. The maximum amount of storage supported with 2.5-inch drives is 492TB SAS/SATA with SSDs, while 3.5-inch drives support up to 256TB when HDDs are installed. The 32x 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bay configuration can be outfitted with up to 16x NVMe drives. 2x 5.25-inch media bays can be outfitted with optional optical drives or backup storage devices. In addition to the drives, there are 2x M.2 drives mounted into an M.2 module located on the side of the drive bays. This is convenient to boot the operating system or for extra data storage and can be used in a RAID configuration of 0 or 1 for performance or redundancy depending on your needs.
The back of the Lenovo ST650 V2 offers up to 9x PCIe 4.0 slots, doubling the maximum bandwidth of PCIe 3.0. Now each PCIe 4.0 slot with a x16 bandwidth link can deliver up to 64GB/s bandwidth compared to only 32GB/s using PCIe 3.0. The system supports up to 8x single-width GPUs or 4x double-width GPUs, to augment computing power and can provide massive parallel processing capabilities for AI applications and visualization. The following GPUs are compatible with the system: NVIDIA Quadro RTX A6000 48GB, Quadro RTX 4000 8GB, T4 16GB, and Quadro P620 2GB.
One of the two USB ports on the front panel is dedicated for XClarity, a mobile at-chassis management program developed by Lenovo. By using a mobile phone or tablet, administrators can physically plug into the dedicated USB port to manage the system’s parameters, provide trigger alerts, and perform recovery actions in case of failures to minimize downtime. There’s also the option of using an External Diagnostic Handset (EDH) which plugs into its dedicated port on the back of the server with results shown on a small LCD display. To manage the platform remotely, a dedicated management port just below the EDH port can be used to access the network and manage the system via a standard browser.
The Lenovo ThinkSystem ST650 V2 is a two-socket tower server, can also be easily transformed into a rack server with a rack rail kit. This platform supports the industry’s latest technology in a 4U chassis. Designed for performance and maximum scalability, the system is highly configurable with flexible storage, memory, and PCIe options to support your business. The 3rd gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPUs give a noticeable boost with support for Intel Optane memory and NVIDIA GPUs, dramatically increasing performance when compared to the previous generation Lenovo tower servers.
