Key Features

Everything you need in one device

🏛️

Four-Socket Intel Xeon Scalable (4th Gen)

The SR860 V3 supports 2 or 4 x 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Sapphire Rapids) with up to 60 cores each and 350W TDP. Mesh topology with 3x UPI links at 12.8/14.4/16 GT/s interconnect the processors in a fully cache-coherent NUMA topology. Up to 4 x QAT, DLB, IAA, and DSA hardware accelerators are included for I/O acceleration.

🧠

16 TB TruDDR5 — 64 DIMM Slots

64 DIMM slots support TruDDR5 RDIMMs at 4800 MHz, with 3DS RDIMM modules enabling maximum memory capacity of 16 TB. Large-memory configurations support SAP HANA OLAP, in-memory databases, and virtualisation workloads at maximum VM density.

💾

Massive Storage with 24x NVMe Direct Connect

Up to 48 x 2.5-inch hot-swap drives support SAS/SATA/NVMe mixed configurations, with up to 24 direct-connect NVMe drives for latency-sensitive applications. One or two 7mm or M.2 boot drives provide fast, secure OS boot independently of the data drive pool.

Up to 18 PCIe Slots and 4 x GPU

Eighteen PCIe expansion slots (12x Gen5 + 4x Gen4, or up to 18x Gen4 in alternative configurations) provide connectivity for GPU accelerators, InfiniBand HCAs, NVMe HBAs, and SmartNICs. GPU support includes up to 4 x 350W double-wide or 8 x 75W single-wide adapters.

🔍

Enterprise RAS — PFA, Light-Path Diagnostics

Predictive Failure Analysis monitors CPUs, DIMMs, PCIe adapter slots, fans, PSUs, drives, and voltage regulators — alerting administrators before components fail rather than after, minimising unplanned downtime. Light-path diagnostic LEDs on every replaceable component accelerate identification and replacement in the data centre.

🔧

XClarity Management and ThinkShield

XCC2 management controller with Redfish API enables remote management, firmware lifecycle, and hardware telemetry integration. ThinkShield security stack provides hardware Root of Trust with PFR, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, and optional chassis intrusion detection.

About the ThinkSystem SR860 V3

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR860 V3 is a 4U four-socket rack server built for mission-critical enterprise workloads where memory capacity, I/O bandwidth, and reliability are paramount. Scaling from 2 to 4 x 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, it delivers up to 240 total cores and 16 TB TruDDR5 memory — providing the scale-up platform for the largest in-memory computing and transactional database environments.

With up to 48 x 2.5-inch hot-swap drives and support for 24 direct-connect NVMe SSDs, the SR860 V3 delivers low-latency storage directly from the server — eliminating external storage as a bottleneck for SAP HANA, Oracle RAC, and large Microsoft SQL Server deployments.

Enterprise reliability is delivered through Predictive Failure Analysis across every major subsystem, light-path diagnostic LEDs for rapid serviceability, and N+N redundant power supplies and fans. XClarity Controller 2 and XClarity Administrator provide the management backbone for full-lifecycle automation. ThinkShield security with hardware Root of Trust and PFR provides the firmware integrity foundation for compliant enterprise deployments.
