Lenovo Thinksystem ST650 V2 4309Y 32GB - 7Z74A01QNA

Lenovo 7Z74A01QNA ThinkSystem ST650 V2 Tower Server

Overview

The Lenovo 7Z74A01QNA is a configured ThinkSystem ST650 V2 4U tower (rack-convertible) server designed for on-premises workloads that demand headroom for GPU-accelerated tasks, high-density memory, and fast network throughput. Built on third-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake) with one 4309Y CPU and 32GB of ECC-protected RAM installed, this unit ships as a ready-to-deploy platform for environments that need a single-socket starting point with room to scale. It targets applications including video management servers, AI-inference workloads at the edge, and general enterprise compute — anywhere a rack-convertible tower form factor makes physical deployment flexible. The ST650 V2 improves on its ST550 predecessor with dual onboard 10GbE ports (up from 1GbE) and up to 4x double-wide or 8x single-wide GPU adapter slots, making it a substantially different platform for GPU-dependent workloads. Machine type 7Z74 carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.

Compatibility

The 7Z74A01QNA is a standalone configured server, not a component. It is compatible with standard 19-inch rack enclosures via the included rack-conversion hardware (4U profile, 462 mm height, 734 mm depth). GPU adapters, NVMe expansion, and persistent memory modules must be sourced separately and must conform to the ST650 V2 platform bill of materials: up to 4x double-wide or 8x single-wide GPU adapters, and up to 16x Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series modules (8 per processor). Memory expansion uses standard RDIMM or 3DS RDIMM DDR4 slots; maximum memory capacity reaches 4TB with 32x 128GB 3DS RDIMMs. Network expansion and storage add-in cards must be compatible with the Intel C621A Lewisburg chipset (Whitley platform).

Installation Notes

Physical footprint: 175 mm wide × 462 mm tall × 734 mm deep — confirm rack depth before ordering, as 734 mm (28.9 in.) is on the longer end for mid-depth racks. Hot-swap 92 mm fans (up to 4x single- or dual-rotor) are N+1 redundant; power supply fans add an additional redundant cooling path. Management is handled via the dedicated XClarity Controller (XCC) port — wire this to an out-of-band management VLAN, separate from the two onboard 10GBASE-T data ports, for clean operational separation.
