Product Guide

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR550 dual-socket 2U rack server is ideal for small to large organizations that need
industry-leading reliability, management, and security, as well as cost-optimized performance, storage capacity,
and flexible I/O. Designed to handle a wide range of workloads, the SR550 server cost-effectively performs
complex analytics on structured and unstructured data, speeds transactional systems, and powers through
collaboration workloads with ever-growing data sets and large files shared within an organization.

Featuring the second generation of the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (Xeon SP Gen 2), the SR550 server
offers a balance of performance, capacity and value. The SR550 server supports up to two processors, up to
768 GB of 2933 MHz TruDDR4 memory, up to 16x 2.5-inch or up to 12x 3.5-inch drive bays with an extensive
choice of SAS/SATA SSDs and SAS/SATA HDDs, and flexible and scalable I/O expansion options with a LOM
slot and up to 6x PCIe slots.

The SR550 server offers basic software RAID or advanced hardware RAID protection and a wide range of
networking options, including embedded LOM, selectable LOM, ML2, and PCIe network adapters. The next-
generation Lenovo XClarity Controller, which is built into the SR550 server, provides advanced service processor
control, monitoring, and alerting functions.

The following figure shows the ThinkSystem SR550 server with 3.5-inch front hot-swap drives. Other drive
configurations are also available.
