Product Overview

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR670 V2 is a versatile, GPU-rich 3U rack server designed for Artificial Intelligence (AI), High Performance Computing (HPC), and graphical workloads across industries including retail, manufacturing, financial services, and healthcare.

Built on two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors, the SR670 V2 features a modular design that supports up to eight double-wide GPUs with NVLink bridges, or the NVIDIA HGX A100 4-GPU configuration with NVLink and Lenovo Neptune hybrid liquid cooling. The platform supports the NVIDIA Ampere datacenter portfolio, including the A100, A40, and A30 Tensor Core GPUs.

A key differentiator is the Lenovo Neptune liquid-to-air hybrid cooling technology, available on certain models. This closed-loop heat exchanger dissipates heat from high-power CPUs and GPUs without requiring external plumbing, enabling lower power consumption, quieter operation, and sustained performance.

The SR670 V2 offers flexible configuration options through three base modules: the 4-DW GPU Model, the 8-DW GPU Model, and the SXM GPU Model. Each module determines the GPU type and quantity, drive bay options, and PCIe slot availability. The server supports up to 4TB of memory using 128GB 3DS RDIMMs, Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 Series, and a range of storage configurations including 2.5-inch SAS/SATA/NVMe drives and EDSFF E.1S NVMe SSDs.

Systems management is handled through Lenovo XClarity Controller (XCC) for local and remote monitoring, and Lenovo Intelligent Computing Orchestration (LiCO) for cluster resource management across HPC and AI workflows.
