Lenovo Flex System x240 M5 (E5-2600 v4)

Product Guide

The Lenovo Flex System x240 M5 Compute Node is a high-performance server that offers enhanced security,

efficiency, and reliability features to handle business-critical workloads. The blade server incorporates up to

two Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 processors. The processors feature up to 22 cores each and use new lightning-fast

Lenovo TruDDR4 memory, which runs at speeds up to 2400 MHz.

Suggested uses: database, virtualization, enterprise applications, collaboration and email, streaming media,

Web, HPC, and cloud applications.

Figure 1 shows the Flex System x240 M5 Compute Node.

Did you know?

The x240 M5 Compute Node uses TruDDR4 DIMM technology, which offers higher clock speeds, faster data

transfer rates, and runs at a lower voltage (1.2V) than DDR3. With DDR4 technology and the new Intel Xeon E5-

2600 v4 processors, memory DIMMs can now operate at speeds up to 2400 MHz, which provides lower latency

times and enhanced computing power. The TruDDR4 memory portfolio includes RDIMMs with advanced error

correction for reliability, performance, and maximum memory capacity. In addition, Lenovo's industry-unique

TruDDR4 DIMMs support memory performance that exceeds industry standards. (See the Key Features section

for details.)

The x240 M5 Compute Node integrates leadership security and reliability capabilities. System x Trusted

Platform Assurance, an exclusive set of System x features and practices, establishes a highly secure foundation

for your workloads. Enterprise-class data protection is provided with optional self-encrypting drives and simple,

centralized key management through Security Key Lifecycle Management. Diagnostic tools facilitate reduced

downtime and costs.
