Lenovo Thinksystem SR630 V2 4313 32GB - 7Z71A01UNA

Lenovo 7Z71A01UNA ThinkSystem SR630 V2 1U Rack Server

Overview

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 V2 (7Z71A01UNA) is a 1U dual-socket rack server built around third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable (Ice Lake) processors. It targets dense compute environments — virtualization hosts, VMS backend infrastructure, and edge analytics workloads — where per-rack unit density and PCIe 4.0 bandwidth matter. The 7Z71 machine type carries a three-year warranty, distinguishing it from the 7Z70 (one-year) variant. The included 4313 processor and 32GB of memory provide a deployable baseline; the platform scales well beyond the factory configuration.

Compatibility

The SR630 V2 supports one or two third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) with TDP ratings up to 270W and up to 40 cores per socket. Memory compatibility spans standard RDIMMs (up to 8TB using 32x 256GB 3DS RDIMMs) and Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series (up to 16 modules, 8 per processor), enabling configurations up to 12TB when combining 3DS RDIMMs and 512GB Pmem modules — relevant for in-memory databases or large VMS recording index caches. GPU support extends to three single-wide 75W cards via PCIe 4.0 slots, compared to one 75W GPU on the prior SR630. Storage and expansion connect through up to three PCIe 4.0 slots plus one internal bay for a cabled RAID or HBA card. Validated operating systems include Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi — consult Lenovo's OS support matrix for specific kernel and version combinations. The Intel C621A (Lewisburg) chipset anchors the platform codenamed Whitley.

Installation Notes

The chassis measures 440 mm wide × 43 mm tall × 773 mm deep (17.3 × 1.7 × 30.4 in.), occupying a single rack unit. Thermal management relies on up to eight hot-swap 40 mm dual-rotor fans in an N+1 redundant configuration — verify rack airflow capacity before dense deployment at high TDP. Drives, power supplies, and fans are all hot-swap capable, reducing planned maintenance windows. No internal optical or tape drive bays are present; OS deployment requires network PXE, virtual media via XClarity Controller, or an external USB drive. Memory protection modes (ECC, SDDC, ADDDC, mirroring) require Platinum or Gold processors for ADDDC — confirm processor selection before relying on advanced memory resiliency.
