Introduction

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 second generation of the Intel Xeon Processor Scalable Family (Xeon SP Gen 2), the SR590 server offers balanced performance, storage capacity, and I/O expansion. The SR590 server supports up to two processors, up to 2933 MHz memory speed, up to 1 TB of memory capacity with TruDDR4 RDIMMs or up to 2.75 TB of memory capacity with a combination of TruDDR4 RDIMMs and Intel DC persistent memory modules (DCPMMs), 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 a 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.
