LENOVO® THINKSERVER™ OPTIONS

THINKSERVER PROCESSORS FOR INCREASED PERFORMANCE

New Intel® Xeon® 5500 Series processors feature Intel's latest innovation in microprocessor architecture. Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology along with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology increases performance of multi-threaded workloads. It automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the base operating frequency.

To boost your system's performance for advanced applications and virtualization, make sure you have enough horse-power with dual processors to fully engage your ThinkServer solution.

• Supports Intel® Xeon® 5500 Series processors (1.86Ghz to 2.53Ghz)

THINKSERVER HARD DRIVE OPTIONS FOR PERFORMANCE STORAGE

The 2.5-inch small form factor hard disk drives are designed to deliver breakthrough performance in a smaller footprint. These options help enable the creation of high-density ThinkServer systems that provide the ultimate solution for virtualization.

•Four ThinkServer SAS 6 Gbps (SAS 2.0) HDDs ŠŠ73GB and 146GB 15K RPM

ŠŠ146GB and 300GB 10K RPM

•One ThinkServer SATA 3 Gbps (SATA 2.0) HDD ŠŠ300GB 10K RPM

Features:	Features:
• Dynamically managed cores - High efficiency	• Small form factor (2.5-inch)
• Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) - Increased productivity
	• Capable of 6 Gbps performance (SAS 2.0)
• Integrated DDR3 memory controller - Maximum performance
	• High I/O per second (SAS 2)
• Intel® QuickPath Interconnect - Increased bandwidth
	• High performance and capacity (SATA 2.0)

THINKSERVER MEMORY FOR LOW- POWER CONSUMPTION & RELIABILITY

ThinkServer DDR3 memory is the next generation of SDRAM memory that enables high I/O data transfer rates through increased peak bandwidth (1333 MHz) and reduces power consumption over DDR2 technology. Faster data transfer rates mean higher performance, and with DDR3 memory this is achieved without straining the system's power needs. Also, with Nehalem class processors, each CPU can support a dedicated set of DIMMs. ThinkServer systems allow as many as 16 DIMMs to be installed in a single server.

•Three Options Available (1GB, 2GB, and 4GB)

Features:

•Advanced ECC (2GB, 4GB)

•Higher bandwidth performance (1333 Mhz)

•PC3-10600 Registered DIMMs

•Low 1.5V Input Voltage gives a power consumption reduction of 30% over DDR2
