REVISION CAVEAT: The original SR630 is not the SR630 V2 in the existing catalog. Verify machine type/model (MTM), system-board generation and bay/backplane SKU before fitting parts.

Specifications & fit

Catalog subcategoryRack server enclosures
Model / board and backplaneLenovo dual-socket Xeon Scalable system board with front drive backplane options. Backplane/cabling and installed RAID/HBA determine SAS/SATA/NVMe support.
Rack height / dimensions / rails1U (43 mm); 43 × 434 × 772 mm (H × W × D, chassis); rails and optional cable-management arm add installation depth. Confirm rack depth and rear cable bend clearance. Lenovo tool-less or friction-rail kits plus optional cable-management arm; rail type, rack post, chassis depth and service travel must match the installation.
Power supplyTwo hot-swap redundant PSU bays with approved AC/DC modules; commonly supported 550 W, 750 W, 1100 W and 1600 W classes depending on system configuration.
Drive baysFront hot-swap configurations include up to 10 × 2.5-inch or 4 × 3.5-inch bays; optional rear storage varies with chassis and riser selection. Backplane determines drive interface.
Expansion / risersPCIe riser layouts provide up to three PCIe expansion slots depending on chassis and processor configuration; verify full-/half-height and slot bandwidth per riser.
CoolingRedundant hot-swap fan modules, with performance grade and count determined by CPU, drive and adapter load; retain SR630 air baffles and blanking panels.
CompatibilityOriginal ThinkSystem SR630 board, risers, backplane, PSU and fans differ from SR630 V2/V3 generations. Match storage carriers and PCIe devices to the installed chassis and controller.
Revision identificationThe original SR630 is not the SR630 V2 in the existing catalog. Verify machine type/model (MTM), system-board generation and bay/backplane SKU before fitting parts.

Compatibility & preservation notes

Original ThinkSystem SR630 board, risers, backplane, PSU and fans differ from SR630 V2/V3 generations. Match storage carriers and PCIe devices to the installed chassis and controller.

Lenovo tool-less or friction-rail kits plus optional cable-management arm; rail type, rack post, chassis depth and service travel must match the installation. Always use the correct lifting procedure for the complete installed unit and disconnect power before service.

  • Record the full model/product number, serial label, board and backplane identifiers, installed risers, PSU labels and rail-kit part number before disassembly.
  • For rack servers, verify exact generation, bay/backplane, controller, riser, fan and PSU compatibility; equal rack height does not establish parts compatibility.
  • Keep drive carriers, blanks, shrouds, brackets and fasteners labeled with their original chassis and position. Measure the complete chassis, rails and cable arm before rack installation.
