About the Lenovo ThinkSystem SD535 V3
The Lenovo ThinkSystem SD535 V3 is a single-socket dense compute node built for rack-scale efficiency. Each half-wide 1U node carries one 5th Gen AMD EPYC 9005 'Turin' processor with up to 192 cores (or a 4th Gen EPYC 9004 'Genoa' up to 128 cores), 12 DDR5 memory channels reaching 1.5 TB, and six 2.5in hot-swap AnyBay drive bays supporting SAS, SATA and PCIe 5.0 NVMe. Up to four nodes share a single 2U ThinkSystem D3 chassis with three N+1 redundant power supplies, giving as many as 84 nodes in a 42U rack for cloud, HPC and scale-out estates.
With PCIe 5.0 throughout, an OCP 3.0 slot for up to 100 GbE, optional single-wide GPU acceleration and an optional Lenovo Neptune open-loop water-cooling module for the highest-TDP EPYC parts, the SD535 V3 packs serious density without sacrificing serviceability - XClarity Controller 2 management, TPM 2.0 and AMD Secure Root-of-Trust are standard. Servnet configures, prices and supplies the ThinkSystem SD535 V3 and its D3 chassis in the UK, with every specification on this page verified against the Lenovo Press product guide.
Lenovo ThinkSystem SD535 V3 — FAQs
How many SD535 V3 nodes fit in a chassis, and how dense does it get?
Up to four half-wide 1U SD535 V3 nodes share a single 2U ThinkSystem D3 chassis (2U4N). At full population that is up to 84 nodes across 21 chassis in a standard 42U rack.
What processors and memory does each node support?
Each node takes one single-socket AMD EPYC processor - a 5th Gen EPYC 9005 (Turin) up to 192 cores and 500W, or a 4th Gen EPYC 9004 (Genoa) up to 128 cores and 400W - with 12 DDR5 DIMM slots across 12 channels, up to 6400 MHz and a maximum of 1.5 TB per node.
What storage, networking and cooling options are available?
Each node offers six 2.5in hot-swap AnyBay bays (SAS/SATA/PCIe 5.0 NVMe, up to 184.32 TB) plus M.2 boot, an OCP 3.0 slot for up to 100 GbE and a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. Air cooling uses up to four 40mm dual-rotor N+1 fans, with an optional Lenovo Neptune open-loop water-cooling module for the highest-TDP EPYC processors.
