Product Features
Technical Overview
At the core of the ThinkSystem ST250 V3 is the Intel Xeon E-2434 processor, a quad-core CPU running at 3.40 GHz with 8 MB of cache, backed by the Intel C266 chipset. This compute foundation supports up to 128 GB of TruDDR5 memory across four slots, with ECC error checking for data integrity. The memory operates at 4.80 GHz, ensuring smooth data transfer between components for consistent performance in virtualization and other server workloads.
Storage flexibility is a key strength, with six total expansion bays including four 3.5" LFF bays and two external 5.25" bays, all hot-swappable for easy maintenance. The Serial ATA/600 controller (Intel VROC) manages drive operations, while four PCIe slots (x4, x16, x4, x4) allow for add-on cards like network adapters or GPUs. Connectivity includes two Gigabit Ethernet ports, seven USB ports, and a VGA output, complemented by integrated graphics with 16 MB of memory.
