Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590 Rack Server (LENOVOSR590003)

Lenovo SR590 is a 2U Rack Server with dual Xeon support, up to 1TB memory, flexible NVMe storage, and balanced performance for virtualization and enterprise environments. The part number is the reliable way to identify it, because accessories of this kind are often visually identical across generations that are not interchangeable.

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. Tell us the chassis or model it has to work with and we will confirm the part before anything ships. Quotes go out the same or next working day.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590 (SKU: LENOVOSR590003) is a 2U rack server designed for enterprise and data center workloads. It belongs to the SR500 series and targets virtualization, cloud computing, and general IT infrastructure.

This platform supports up to 2× Intel Xeon Scalable processors. As a result, it delivers balanced compute performance for mixed workloads. In addition, it scales memory up to 1TB across 16 DIMM slots using TruDDR4 and Intel Optane persistent memory. This enables efficient processing for data-intensive applications.

The system provides flexible storage architecture. It supports up to 16× 2.5″ or 14× 3.5″ hot-swappable drive bays. Moreover, it supports NVMe SSDs through AnyBay technology, which allows SAS, SATA, and NVMe drives in the same bays. This improves performance and simplifies deployment.

For networking, the SR590 includes integrated Ethernet interfaces and supports expansion through LOM and PCIe adapters. It enables connectivity from 1GbE to higher-speed interfaces. Furthermore, it provides up to 6 PCIe slots for I/O expansion and adapter integration.

The SR590 fits enterprise data centers, SMB environments, and branch deployments. It works well as a virtualization host, application server, or database platform. Additionally, it supports VMware, Hyper-V, Linux distributions, and Lenovo XClarity for centralized management.

For reliability, the system includes redundant hot-swappable power supplies and cooling fans. It also supports RAID controllers, M.2 boot drives, and continuous operation features. Therefore, it ensures high availability and stable performance in production environments.
