The ThinkSystem ST45 V3 server is an office-friendly tower server that has been optimized to provide enterprise-class features to small businesses, retail, educational institutions and branch offices.

Scalability and performance

The ST45 V3 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

• Improved single-socket processor performance:
  • AMD EPYC 4004 CPU
  • Up to 12 cores and core speeds up to 3.8 GHz
• Up to two 5200 MHz TruDDR5 UDIMMs provide speed and capacity of up to 64 GB.
• Two PCIe slots for I/O expansion, one PCIe x16 and one PCIe x1.
• Support for NVMe M.2 drive for OS boot operations.
• Support for three 3.5-inch non-hot-swap (NHS) drive bays and one 2.5-inch drive, or,  support for two 3.5-inch non-hot-swap (NHS) drive bays, one 2.5-inch drive and one ODD drive. Providing flexible internal storage capacity.
• The use of SSDs instead of, or along with, traditional spinning drives (HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance.

Availability and serviceability

The ST45 V3 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:

• EPYC 4004 RAS features include on-chip ECC/parity, on-package link CRC, PCIe LCRC, PCIe ECRC, and PCIe uncorrected error detection. Correction of single-bit memory errors and PCIe correctable errors support is limited to the hardware layer and offer no support for WHEA (Windows Hardware Error Architecture) or EDAC (Error Detection And Correction).
• Designed to run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
• The server 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.
• 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.
• Power-on Self-Test (POST).
• The Lenovo XClarity Provisioning Manager Lite tool can be used to install an operating system on the server and perform system diagnostics.
• One-year or three-year customer-replaceable unit (CRU) and onsite limited warranty with next business day response. Optional service upgrades are available.

Energy efficiency

The ST45 V3 offers the following energy saving features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:

• 80 PLUS Platinum-certified power supply (select models) enables greater energy savings while providing flexibility to meet your business needs.
• The ThinkSystem Capacity Planner tool provides information about the power consumption and electric current calculation for the different configurations of servers and other devices, which helps plan deployment of servers and devices in an efficient way.
• Energy star certification.

The following table lists the standard specifications.

ThinkSystem ST45 V3 models can be configured by using the Lenovo Data Center Solution Configurator (DCSC).

Configure-to-order (CTO) models are used to create models with factory-integrated server customizations. For CTO models, two types of base CTO models are available for the ST45 V3 as listed in the columns in the following table:

• General purpose base CTO models are for general business (non-HPC) and is selectable by choosing General Purpose mode in DCSC.
• AI and HPC base models are intended for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and High Performance Computing (HPC) configurations and solutions are enabled using the AI & HPC Hardware - ThinkSystem Hardware mode in DCSC. These configurations, along with Lenovo EveryScale Solutions, can also be built using System x and Cluster Solutions Configurator (x-config). Tip: Some HPC and AI models are not listed in DCSC and can only be configured in x-config.

Preconfigured server models may also be available for the ST45 V3, however these are region-specific; that is, each region may define their own server models, and not all server models are available in every region.

If you are planning to do a field upgrade of a server without drives to add drives that connect to the onboard SATA controller, you will need the power cables from the ThinkSystem ST50 V3/ST45 V3 Internal Drive Cable Kit, 4X97A93517, plus the SATA cables that are included in each drive option.

If you are planning to do a field upgrade to add a RAID adapter or HBA, you will need the cables from ThinkSystem ST50 V3/ST45 V3 Internal Drive Cable Kit, 4X97A93517, The MiniSAS data cable in the kit will replace the SATA data cables to all three drives. Use the power cables if you are upgrading from a server without any drives otherwise use the existing power cables already installed.

The following table lists the ordering information.

The ST45 V3 has 2x onboard SATA ports supporting AHCI (JBOD) mode (for 2x 3.5-inch drives) RAID support on the onboard ports is planned.

For CTO orders, the necessary cables and trays will be derived by the configurator.

The following tables list the drive options for internal storage of the server.

Special notice for Client drives

Some servers support both Client HDDs and Enterprise Class HDDs. Client HDDs are designed for 8x5 operating environment whereas Enterprise Class HDDs are designed for 24x7 operating environment. Selecting the correct drive class will enable the critical areas of quality, functionality, performance, and reliability to be optimized for the target implementation.

Choosing the right drive type depends on the usage pattern. Improper use of Client HDDs (such as the workload rate exceeding 55 TB/year) will lead to significant risk and increase the drives failure rate.

* The specifications for the product assumes the I/O workload does not exceed the average annualized workload rate limit of 55 TB/year. Workloads exceeding the annualized rate may degrade and impact reliability as experienced by the particular application. The average annualized workload rate limit is in units of TB per calendar year.

The ST45 V3 does not support any internal backup unit, such as a tape drive or RDX drive.

• Device as a Service (DaaS)

  Leverage latest technology to advance your business. Customized solutions aligned to your needs. Flexibility to add equipment to support growth. Protect your technology with Lenovo's Premier Support service.

• 24/7 Asset management

  Manage your financed solutions with electronic access to your lease documents, payment histories, invoices and asset information.

• Fair Market Value (FMV) and $1 Purchase Option Leases

  Maximize your purchasing power with our lowest cost option. An FMV lease offers lower monthly payments than loans or lease-to-own financing. Think of an FMV lease as a rental. You have the flexibility at the end of the lease term to return the equipment, continue leasing it, or purchase it for the fair market value. In a $1 Out Purchase Option lease, you own the equipment. It is a good option when you are confident you will use the equipment for an extended period beyond the finance term. Both lease types have merits depending on your needs. We can help you determine which option will best meet your technological and budgetary goals.
