Lenovo x3100 M5 5U Tower Server

The Lenovo x3100 M5 5457EJU is a 5U tower server built around a single Intel Xeon E3-1271 v3 processor running at 3.60 GHz with 8 GB of DDR3-1600 memory installed. It supports a maximum of 32 GB across four memory slots and includes a DVD-RW drive, a Matrox G200eR2 graphics controller with 16 MB video memory, and a 430 W power supply. No hard drives are installed, leaving the ten drive bays available for SATA or SAS storage configuration.

Suited for single-socket workloads

This server fits small-business file, print, or application roles that run on a single quad-core Xeon and up to 32 GB of DDR3 memory. The four PCIe expansion slots and ten drive bays provide internal growth for storage controllers or additional networking. Organisations needing dual-processor performance, larger memory capacity, or GPU-accelerated workloads should evaluate platforms designed for those requirements.

Maximum memory capacity of 32 GB

The system board provides four DDR3 DIMM slots and supports up to 32 GB of total memory. With 8 GB installed from the factory, the remaining three slots can be populated to reach the limit. Confirming this ceiling against the application's memory footprint is the primary step in deciding whether this server meets the workload.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8 GB DDR3-1600 configuration or plan for the 32 GB maximum?

The system ships with 8 GB DDR3-1600 across four slots; maximum supported capacity is 32 GB, so adding three 8 GB DDR3-1600 modules reaches the limit without replacing the factory memory.

What does the Xeon E3-1271 v3 at 3.60 GHz deliver in this tower?

The quad-core Xeon E3-1271 v3 runs at 3.60 GHz with 8 MB cache, providing single-socket performance for entry workloads such as file serving, light virtualization or database tasks.

Which drive interfaces does the onboard controller support and what RAID levels are available?

The integrated controller handles SATA and SAS drives and supports RAID 0, 1 and 10 across the eight internal 2.5-inch bays.
