Availability and serviceability
The ST250 V2 provides the following features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:
- Designed to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
- The ST250 V2 supports UDIMM memory with ECC protection which provides error correction not available in PC-class "servers" that use parity memory. Avoiding system crashes (and data loss) due to soft memory errors means greater system uptime.
- The server offers hot-swap (HS) SSDs and HDDs, and supports RAID redundancy for data protection and greater system uptime.
- Much like hot-swap drives, simple-swap drives are mounted on an easy-to-remove tray and work with the same RAID options. Simple-swap require a system power-down before adding or replacing, however simple-swap drives are less expensive than hot-swap drives.
- The server supports hot-swap power supplies; with two installed, they form a redundant pair to provide availability for business-critical applications.
- Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as memory and adapter cards.
- A choice of affordable onboard SATA RAID or advanced hardware RAID redundancy offers data protection and greater system uptime.
- The use of SSDs can provide better reliability than the use of traditional HDDs, for greater uptime.
- The built-in XClarity Controller continuously monitors system parameters, triggers alerts, and performs recovery actions in case of failures to minimize downtime.
- Allows preventive actions in advance of possible failure, thereby increasing server uptime and application availability with Proactive Platform Alerts (including PFA and SMART alerts) for memory, internal storage (SAS/SATA HDDs and SSDs, NVMe SSDs, M.2 SSDs), RAID controllers, and server ambient and sub-component temperatures.
- Built-in diagnostics in UEFI, using Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, speed up troubleshooting tasks to reduce service time.
- Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager supports diagnostics and can save service data to a USB key drive or remote CIFS share folder for troubleshooting and reduce service time.
- Support for the XClarity Administrator Mobile app running on a supported smartphone and connected to the server through the service-enabled USB port, enables additional local systems management functions.
- Auto restart in the event of a momentary loss of AC power (based on power policy setting in the XClarity Controller service processor)
- One-year or three-year customer-replaceable unit (CRU) and onsite limited warranty with next business day response. Optional service upgrades are available.
Manageability and security
The following systems management features simplify local and remote management of the ST250 V2:
- The server includes an XClarity Controller (XCC) to monitor server availability. Optional upgrade to XCC Advanced to provide remote control (keyboard video mouse) functions. Optional upgrade to XCC Enterprise enables the additional support for the mounting of remote media files (ISO and IMG image files), boot capture, and power capping.
- Lenovo XClarity Administrator offers comprehensive hardware management tools that help to increase uptime, reduce costs and improve productivity through advanced server management capabilities.
- New UEFI-based Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager, accessible from F1 during boot, provides system inventory information, graphical UEFI Setup, platform update function, RAID Setup wizard, operating system installation function, and diagnostic functions.
- Support for Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager which captures real-time power and temperature data from the server and provides automated controls to lower energy costs.
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 support enables advanced cryptographic functionality, such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
- Industry-standard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) NI support for faster, stronger encryption.
- Intel Execute Disable Bit functionality can prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined with a supported operating system.
- Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel Xeon E processors only) provides enhanced security through hardware-based resistance to malicious software attacks, allowing an application to run in its own isolated space, protected from all other software running on a system.
- Helps prevent unauthorized software from running on the server by protecting against boot block-level malicious software with Intel Boot Guard technology.
- Protects application code and data from disclosure or modification with Intel Software Guard Extensions (SGX), enabling high-assurance security use cases, such as blockchain, identity and records privacy, secure browsing, and digital rights management (DRM).
- Physical security measures to prevent unauthorized access: Loop for a padlock to prevent the side panel from being opened and a slot at the rear of the server for a Kensington Cable Lock. Optional additional physical security features are a lockable front security door and a chassis intrusion switch (included in some models).
Energy efficiency
The ST250 V2 offers the following energy saving features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to the green environment:
- Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
- High-efficiency power supplies with 80 PLUS Platinum certifications. Energy Star certified.
- Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed to reduce power draw.
- Low-voltage 1.2 V DDR4 memory DIMMs use up to 20% less energy compared to 1.35 V DDR3 DIMMs.
- SSDs use as much as 80% less power than traditional spinning HDDs.
- The server uses hexagonal ventilation holes, which can be grouped more densely than round holes, providing more efficient airflow through the system.
- Optional Lenovo XClarity Energy Manager provides advanced data center power notification, analysis, and policy-based management to help achieve lower heat output and reduced cooling needs.

Processors
The ST250 V2 supports one processor from the following Intel product families:
- Intel Xeon E-2300 Series processors ("Rocket Lake-E")
- Intel Pentium G6405, G6505 and G6605 processors ("Comet Lake Refresh")
All supported processors have the following characteristics:
- LGA 1200 socket (Socket H5)
- 14 nm semiconductor process technology
- Direct Media Interface (DMI) 3.0 connection to PCH
- Xeon E-2300: DMI 3.0 x8 connection
- Pentium: DMI 3.0 x4 connection
- Two DDR4 memory channels
- Support for ECC memory
- Xeon E-2300: Up to 3200 MHz memory speed
- Pentium: Up to 2666 MHz memory speed
- PCIe lanes:
- Xeon E-2300: 20x PCIe 4.0 I/O lanes
- Pentium: 16x PCIe 3.0 I/O lanes
The following table lists the supported processors.
Integrated graphics and management: Xeon processors with a G suffix include integrated graphics, however, this functionality is not used in the ST250 V2. Instead, graphics support is provided by XClarity Controller (XCC), or by an GPU add-in card. Similarly system management of the ST250 V2 is handled by XCC and as a result, the AMT management processor is disabled.

UEFI operating modes
The ST250 V2 offers preset operating modes that affect energy consumption and performance. These modes are a collection of predefined low-level UEFI settings that simplify the task of tuning the server to suit your business and workload requirements.
The following table lists the feature codes that allow you to specify the mode you wish to preset in the factory for CTO orders.
Feature code | Description |
---|---|
BFYB | Operating mode selection for: "Maximum Performance Mode" |
BFYE | Operating mode selection for: "Efficiency - Favoring Performance Mode" |
The preset modes for the ST250 V2 are as follows:
- Maximum Performance Mode (feature BFYB): Achieves maximum performance but with higher power consumption and lower energy efficiency.
- Efficiency Favoring Performance Mode (feature BFYE): Maximize the performance/watt efficiency with a bias towards performance. This is the favored mode for Energy Star certification, for example.
Memory options
The ST250 V2 supports Lenovo TruDDR4 memory. TruDDR4 memory uses the highest-quality components sourced from Tier 1 DRAM suppliers and only memory that meets strict requirements is selected. It is compatibility-tested and tuned to maximize performance and reliability.
TruDDR4 memory has a unique signature programmed into the DIMM, which enables ThinkSystem servers to verify whether the memory installed is qualified and supported. From a service and support standpoint, TruDDR4 memory automatically assumes the system's warranty, and service and support provided worldwide.
The processors have 2 memory channels and support 2 DIMMs per channel. The ST250 V2 supports 1, 2 or 4 DIMMs. 3 installed DIMMs is not supported. All DIMMs installed must be identical.
DIMMs installed in the ST250 V2 operate at a speed based on the processor installed, the number of DIMMs installed, and whether the DIMMs are single-rank or dual-rank:
- When connected to a Xeon processor:
- 1 or 2 DIMMs: 3200 MHz
- 4 single-rank (1R) DIMMs: 3200 MHz
- 4 dual-rank (2R) DIMMs: 2933 MHz
- When connected to a Pentium processor:
- 1 or 2 DIMMs (1 DPC): 2666 MHz
- 4 single-rank (1R) DIMMs: 2666 MHz
- 4 dual-rank (2R) DIMMs: 2400 MHz
The following table lists the memory options that are available for the ST250 V2 server.
Part number | Feature code | Description | Maximum supported |
---|---|---|---|
4X77A77494 | BMDV | ThinkSystem 8GB TruDDR4 3200 MHz (1Rx8, 1.2V) ECC UDIMM | 4 |
4X77A77495 | BMDW | ThinkSystem 16GB TruDDR4 3200 MHz (2Rx8, 1.2V) ECC UDIMM | 4 |
4X77A77496 | BMT4 | ThinkSystem 32GB TruDDR4 3200MHz (2Rx8, 1.2V) ECC UDIMM | 4 |
The following rules apply when selecting the memory configuration:
- The server only supports UDIMMs
- Quantities of 1, 2 or 4 DIMMs are supported. 3 DIMMs is not supported.
- All DIMMs must be identical (same part number)
- When installing two DIMMs, install one in each memory channel (DIMM slots 1 and 3)
- Memory mirroring and memory rank sparing are not supported
Internal storage
The ST250 V2 supports 2.5-inch hot-swap, 3.5-inch hot-swap, and 3.5-inch simple-swap drives in a variety of drive bay configurations.
Drive bays and backplanes
The server supports up to 16 drive bays:
- Up to 16x 2.5-inch hot-swap drives
- Up to 8x 3.5-inch drives hot-swap drives
- Up to 8x 3.5-inch simple-swap drives
- A combination of 8x 2.5" hot-swap and 4x 3.5" hot-swap drives.
Drive bays required: It is not supported to configure the ST250 V2 server without drive bays.
Hot-swap configurations SAS and SATA drives depending on the controller used (the onboard SATA controller supports SATA drives only). Simple-swap drive configurations support SATA drives only, or SATA drives plus a single NVMe drive.
NVMe support: NVMe support is limited to the 3.5-inch simple swap drive configuration and requires an Intel Xeon processor. Pentium processors installed in the ST250 V2 do not have enough lanes to support an NVMe drive.
The different drive bay configurations supported are shown in the following figure. The server also supports two M.2 drives, installed in a PCIe slot as shown in the internal view of the server.
Figure 6. Internal drive bay configurations
The following table lists the available hot-swap and simple-swap backplanes for configure-to-order builds. See the Field upgrades section for option part numbers.

Configuration notes regarding drive bays with the use of the onboard SATA controller:
- The onboard SATA controller has 8 SATA ports, which means that up to 8 SATA drives can be connected provided no optical drive is installed.
- If the onboard SATA controller is used and an optical drive is installed, then at most 6 drives can be installed. The other 2 onboard SATA ports are reserved for optical drives, even if only 1 optical drive is installed.
- The ST250 V2 also supports the use of a RAID adapter or SAS host bus adapter to support the use of SAS drives plus offering higher performance features and RAID functionality. Configurations guidance is as follows:
- For 8-bay configurations, use one of the supported 8-port RAID adapters or HBA
- For 12-bay or 16-bay configurations, use one of the supported 16-port RAID adapters
- It is supported to add 1 or 2 optical drives to a RAID adapter/HBA configuration

I/O expansion options
The ST250 V2 server has one PCIe 4.0 slot and three PCIe 3.0 slots, as follows:
- Slot 1: PCIe 3.0 x4 full-height, half-length (x1 physical slot, open ended), supports 25W adapters
- Slot 2: PCIe 4.0 x16 full-height, half-length (x16 physical slot, closed ended), supports 75W adapters
- Slot 3: PCIe 3.0 x4 full-height, half-length (x4 physical slot, open ended), supports 25W adapters
- Slot 4: PCIe 3.0 x4 full-height, half-length (x8 physical slot, closed ended), supports 25W adapters
Slot 1 and slot 3 in the ST250 V2 are an open-end design, which means that it can accept adapters with a longer edge connector than the physical length of the slot connector. For example, if a x8 adapter is installed in the x4 slot 3 of the server, half of the edge connector will not be connected to the slot. The adapter will still function, however performance will be impacted.
Network adapters
The ST250 V2 has two onboard Gigabit Ethernet ports, connected to a Broadcom BCM5720 embedded controller.
The BCM5720 embedded controller has the following features:
- Two 10/100/1000 Mb Ethernet RJ-45 ports
- NIC Teaming (load balancing and failover)
- IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation
- I/O Virtualization (IOV) for VMWare NetQueue and Microsoft VMQ
- IEEE 802.1Q Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs)
- IEEE 802.3x flow control
- TCP, IP, and UDP checksum offload
- Large Send Offload (LSO) and TCP Segmentation Offload (TSO)
- Receive Side Scaling (RSS) and Transmit Side Scaling (TSS)
- Jumbo frames up to 9600 bytes
- IEEE 802.3az-2010 Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) compliant
- Hardware assist for IEEE 1588 and IEEE 802.1AS time synchronization implementations

Platform Firmware Resiliency - Lenovo ThinkShield
Lenovo's ThinkShield Security is a transparent and comprehensive approach to security that extends to all dimensions of our data center products: from development, to supply chain, and through the entire product lifecycle.
The ThinkSystem ST250 V2 includes Platform Firmware Resiliency (PFR) hardware Root of Trust (RoT) which enables the system to be NIST SP800-193 compliant. This offering further enhances key platform subsystem protections against unauthorized firmware updates and corruption, to restore firmware to an integral state, and to closely monitor firmware for possible compromise from cyber attacks.
PFR operates upon the following server components:
- UEFI image – the low-level server firmware that connects the operating system to the server hardware
- XCC image – the management “engine” software that controls and reports on the server status separate from the server operating system
- FPGA image – the code that runs the server’s lowest level hardware controller on the motherboard
The Lenovo Platform Root of Trust Hardware performs the following three main functions:
- Detection – Measures the firmware and updates for authenticity
- Recovery – Recovers a corrupted image to a known-safe image
- Protection – Monitors the system to ensure the known-good firmware is not maliciously written
These enhanced protection capabilities are implemented using a dedicated, discrete security processor whose implementation has been rigorously validated by leading third-party security firms. Security evaluation results and design details are available for customer review – providing unprecedented transparency and assurance.
The ST250 V2 includes support for Secure Boot, a UEFI firmware security feature developed by the UEFI Consortium that ensures only immutable and signed software are loaded during the boot time. The use of Secure Boot helps prevent malicious code from being loaded and helps prevent attacks, such as the installation of rootkits. Lenovo offers the capability to enable secure boot in the factory, to ensure end-to-end protection. Alternatively, Secure Boot can be left disabled in the factory, allowing the customer to enable it themselves at a later point, if desired.
The following table lists the relevant feature code(s).
Part number | Feature code | Description | Purpose |
---|
Tip: If Secure Boot is not enabled in the factory, it can be enabled later by the customer. However once Secure Boot is enabled, it cannot be disabled.
