Lenovo 4XG7A07226 SR570 Xeon 4110 8C/85W/2.1GHZ

Lenovo 4XG7A07226 Intel Xeon Silver 4110 Processor for ThinkSystem SR570

Overview

The Lenovo 4XG7A07226 is a 1st Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor option — specifically the Xeon Silver 4110 — designed for installation in the ThinkSystem SR570 rack server. Running 8 cores and 16 threads at a 2.1 GHz base frequency with a 3.0 GHz Turbo Boost ceiling, the 4110 occupies the mid-range of the Skylake-SP Xeon Silver lineup: enough parallel compute for multi-stream network video recorder workloads, virtualized security appliances, and light analytics offload — without the power overhead of Gold or Platinum tiers. The 85W TDP keeps it manageable in single- or dual-socket SR570 configurations where rack thermal headroom is a real constraint.

This SKU ships as a server processor upgrade with the cooler included — an important distinction when ordering add-in processors post-deployment, since missing the thermal solution is a common install-day problem.

Key Features

• 8 Cores / 16 Threads at 2.1 GHz Base, 3.0 GHz Turbo: The 4110's core count handles concurrent workloads well — a virtualized VMS host running Milestone or Genetec alongside a domain controller, for example, won't saturate this chip under typical multi-camera loads. The 900 MHz Turbo headroom matters for bursty analytics tasks that spike briefly then return to idle.
• 85W TDP — Balanced Power Envelope: At 85W, the 4110 fits within a dual-socket SR570 configuration without pushing rack PDU limits. Compare this to 105W Gold SKUs in the same generation: you recover roughly 40W per socket, which adds up across a populated 1U chassis running 24/7.
• 11 MB L3 Cache (Skylake-SP Architecture): The 11MB shared L3 serves all 8 cores simultaneously. In surveillance server contexts — where the workload is dominated by sustained streaming I/O rather than cache-thrashing compute — this is sufficient; don't expect dramatic differences between Silver-tier L3 sizes in this application class.
• LGA 3647 (Socket P) — Scalable Platform Foundation: The LGA 3647 socket supports the full 1st Gen Xeon Scalable lineup, meaning the SR570 chassis investment is protected. If workloads grow, the upgrade path runs from Silver 4110 through Gold and Platinum tiers without replacing the server platform — a meaningful total-cost consideration for multi-year deployments.
• Up to 768 GB Maximum Memory Support: The 4110 supports up to 768 GB of RAM across the SR570's memory channels. For VMS deployments running large camera counts or retaining frame buffers in memory, this ceiling is rarely hit — but the headroom means memory will not be the architectural bottleneck as camera counts grow.
• 14nm Skylake Process, Stepping U0: U0 is a mature, stable stepping for this generation — the kind of detail that matters for enterprise buyers who care about microcode revision compatibility with their hypervisor stack. Not a day-one silicon risk.
• 64-bit Operating Mode: Supports all current server operating systems and hypervisors (Windows Server, VMware ESXi, Linux) in 64-bit mode. No legacy 32-bit constraints to plan around.
• Cooler Included: The OEM cooler is included in this SKU, which eliminates a common ordering gap when adding a second processor to an SR570 that shipped single-socket. Confirm socket 2 is populated with appropriate DIMM placeholders per Lenovo's memory population rules before installing.

Integration and Compatibility

The 4XG7A07226 is engineered for the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR570 server platform. The LGA 3647 socket and 1st Gen Xeon Scalable compatibility means this processor integrates within Lenovo's validated component matrix for that chassis. For VMS platform deployments — whether Milestone XProtect, Genetec Security Center, or Avigilon Control Center — the SR570 with dual 4110 processors provides adequate compute for mid-scale deployments (typically 32–64 camera streams at mixed resolutions, depending on codec and analytics load). Verify your VMS vendor's server sizing guide against camera count, resolution, and analytics requirements before finalizing the processor configuration.

When pairing with PoE network switches and IP camera infrastructure, the SR570 platform's dual 10GbE capability (depending on NIC configuration) handles the aggregate bandwidth of large IP camera deployments without creating a network bottleneck at the server uplink.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the 4XG7A07226 compatible with both socket positions on the Lenovo ThinkSystem SR570?

A: Yes. The SR570 supports dual LGA 3647 (Socket P) processors. The 4XG7A07226 can be installed in either socket position, though both sockets must use the same processor model when running in a dual-socket configuration per Lenovo's platform requirements.

Q: Does this processor SKU include a cooler?

A: Yes. The 4XG7A07226 includes the processor cooler, which is important to confirm when adding a second processor to an SR570 that originally shipped with only one socket populated.

Q: What is the Turbo Boost frequency for the Xeon Silver 4110?

A: The Intel Xeon Silver 4110 boosts to 3.0 GHz under Turbo, up from its 2.1 GHz base frequency. This headroom supports bursty analytical workloads without requiring a higher-TDP processor.

Q: How much memory does the 4110 support?

A: The processor supports up to 768 GB of internal memory, which covers the full memory capacity of the SR570 platform. In practice, surveillance VMS workloads rarely approach this ceiling, even at high camera counts.

Q: What is the TDP of the Xeon Silver 4110, and does it matter for rack planning?

A: The 4110 has an 85W TDP. In a dual-socket SR570, that's 170W from processors alone before accounting for DIMMs, drives, and fans. Factor this into your rack PDU and cooling capacity calculations, especially in high-density rows.

Q: Is the Xeon Silver 4110 a good fit for running a VMS like Milestone or Genetec?

A: For mid-scale deployments — roughly 32 to 64 camera streams depending on resolution and analytics load — a dual 4110 SR570 configuration provides adequate compute. Larger deployments with heavy analytics processing should be sized against the VMS vendor's published server requirements, which may call for Gold-tier processors.

Karl Wilson

The 4XG7A07226 slots the Intel Xeon Silver 4110 into Lenovo's ThinkSystem SR570 — and the spec I keep coming back to when sizing this for surveillance infrastructure is that 85W TDP. When you're running dual-socket configurations in a shared rack with UPS, PoE switches, and storage, staying under the thermal ceiling without sacrificing thread count is exactly the tradeoff the 4110 was designed for.

Technical Highlights:

• 8 Cores / 16 Threads: Handles concurrent VMS processes — recording, indexing, live view serving, and basic analytics — without the thread starvation you'd hit on a quad-core Silver. The 16-thread count is the practical floor for a production VMS host.
• 3.0 GHz Turbo Boost: The 900 MHz burst above base clock matters when analytics events spike — motion detection triggers, object classification bursts — then drop back to idle. Silver 4110 manages that pattern without sustained thermal throttling at 85W.
• LGA 3647 Platform Longevity: The socket P platform supports the full 1st Gen Scalable lineup. If this SR570 needs more compute later, you swap processors rather than chassis — a real cost avoidance for a 5-7 year server lifecycle.

Deployment Considerations:

• The cooler inclusion in this SKU is operationally significant — confirm before ordering that your SR570's second socket is currently empty and needs this full kit, not just a processor tray. An included cooler on a socket that already has one creates an install-day inventory problem.
• Memory population rules on the SR570 are strict: adding a second processor (socket 2) requires DIMMs in the socket 2 memory channels or the system will not POST. Plan DIMM procurement alongside this processor order.

The 4XG7A07226 is the right call for a mid-scale VMS server build — a 32 to 64 camera environment where a 105W Gold processor would be overkill on power budget and the quad-core entry Silver options would create a thread bottleneck under concurrent recording and analytics load.
