Server Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 8x2.5in chassis, model 4XH7A61078

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 8x2.5in chassis (model 4XH7A61078) is a rack-mounted server platform configured to accommodate eight 2.5-inch hot-swap drives. Engineered for data center and enterprise environments, this chassis delivers a balance of high-density storage capacity and flexible I/O expansion in a 1U/2U-compatible rack form factor (depending on the full server configuration). It is intended to support virtualization, database workloads and general-purpose compute while optimizing rack space and cooling efficiency.

Advantages

This SR650 V2 chassis provides a compact, serviceable drive bay layout for eight 2.5-inch drives, enabling dense storage in a standard rack footprint. The hot-swap drive design simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime. The chassis supports multiple I/O and cooling configurations to match workload and data center requirements, and its construction is compatible with Lenovo ThinkSystem components to facilitate integration with existing infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure nodes
• Transactional and analytical database servers
• File, block and object storage appliances with moderate drive counts
• General-purpose rack servers in enterprise data centers

Key specifications

• Drive bays: 8 × 2.5-inch hot-swap bays
• Form factor: Rack-mount chassis designed for standard data center racks
• Storage density: High density for 2.5-inch drives in a compact chassis
• Cooling: Front-to-back airflow with configurable fan modules for data center cooling
• I/O expansion: Supports multiple flexible I/O slot and drive controller configurations
• Serviceability: Hot-swap drive access and tool-less or service-friendly panels for maintenance

How to use

Install the chassis into a compatible rack using appropriate rails and rack-mount hardware. Populate the 2.5-inch hot-swap bays with supported SSDs or HDDs and install drive controllers or RAID adapters according to your storage and redundancy requirements. Connect power supplies, network interfaces and management modules as specified by your chosen ThinkSystem server configuration. Use the Lenovo server management tools and firmware utilities to configure RAID, monitor drive health and apply firmware updates.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use drives and controllers that match your performance and endurance needs; configure RAID and backups to meet availability targets; maintain proper rack airflow and monitor chassis fan and temperature metrics through Lenovo management utilities.
