Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590 Server
Product Guide
Lenovo ThinkSystem SR590 is a 2-socket 2U rack server for small businesses up to large enterprises that
need industry-leading reliability, management, and security, as well as balancing performance and
expandability. The SR590 server is designed to handle a wide range of workloads, such as virtualization and
cloud computing, IT infrastructure, enterprise applications, collaboration/email, and web serving.
Featuring the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family, the SR590 server offers balanced performance, storage
capacity, and I/O expansion. The SR590 server supports up to two processors, up to 1 TB of 2666 MHz
TruDDR4 memory, up to 16x 2.5-inch or 14x 3.5-inch drive bays with an extensive choice of
NVMe PCIe SSDs, SAS/SATA SSDs, and SAS/SATA HDDs, and flexible I/O expansion options with the LOM
slot and up to 6x PCIe slots.
The SR590 server offers basic software RAID or advanced hardware RAID protection and a wide range of
networking options, including selectable LOM, ML2, and PCIe network adapters. The next-generation
Lenovo XClarity Controller, which is built into the SR590 server, provides advanced service processor
control, monitoring, and alerting functions.

Did you know?
The SR590 server features a unique AnyBay design that allows a choice of drive interface types in the same
drive bay: SAS drives, SATA drives, or U.2 NVMe PCIe drives.
The SR590 server offers onboard NVMe PCIe ports that allow direct connections to the U.2 NVMe PCIe
SSDs, which frees up I/O slots and helps lower NVMe solution acquisition costs.
The SR590 server delivers impressive compute power per watt, featuring 80 PLUS Titanium and Platinum
redundant power supplies that can deliver 96% (Titanium) or 94% (Platinum) efficiency at 50% load when
connected to a 200 - 240 V AC power source.
The SR590 server is designed to meet ASHRAE A4 standards (up to 45 °C [113 °F]) in select configurations,
which enable customers to lower energy costs, while still maintaining world-class reliability.
