Lenovo ThinkSystem SR530 Rack Server (LENOVOSR530004)

Lenovo SR530 is a 1U Rack Server with dual Xeon support, up to 768GB memory, flexible storage, and efficient performance for virtualization and entry-level enterprise environments. Matching on sight is unreliable here. The part number is what determines whether it will work in a given chassis.

What to check before you buy. Three things decide whether a server will suit the job. The generation, because the processors, memory and controllers that fit one generation generally do not fit the next even where the chassis looks identical. The drive configuration, because a chassis built for small form factor disks cannot take large form factor ones without a different cage and backplane. And how it is specified to be populated, since a second processor usually needs its own heatsink and may enable memory slots that are otherwise unusable. It is also worth asking what is physically included: rails, bezel, drive carriers and the remote management licence are all commonly sold separately from the chassis.

How we supply it. Supplied new where available, otherwise as tested stock with warranty, subject to availability. Quote the equipment it is for when you ask and we will verify the fit first. We come back by the next working day.
