Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2

CurrentServers2U rack

The ThinkSystem SR650 V2 is Lenovo's mainstream two-socket 2U rack server powered by 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake) processors. Engineered for virtualization, cloud computing, high-performance database environments, and AI inference, it upgraded the architecture to PCIe 4.0, expanded memory capacity to 32 DIMMs (8TB max), and introduced OCP 3.0 networking. The chassis supports up to 40 2.5-inch drives or 32 direct-attach NVMe SSDs with extensive AnyBay options. In the used and refurbished market, the SR650 V2 is heavily traded; prospective buyers must verify XClarity Controller (XCC) Enterprise licensing, check whether standard or performance fan modules and heatsinks are installed, and test all PCIe 4.0 riser assemblies.
