Key features
The ThinkServer TS150 server is an office-friendly tower server that has been optimized to provide
enterprise-class features to small-to-medium-sized businesses, retail stores, and distributed enterprises.
Scalability and performance
The TS150 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:
The Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v5 improves productivity by offering affordable single-socket
system performance with 4-core processors with up to 3.7 GHz core speeds and up to 8 MB cache.
Intelligent and adaptive system performance with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 allows processor
cores to run at maximum speeds during peak workloads by temporarily going beyond processor
thermal design power (TDP).
Intel Hyper-Threading Technology boosts performance for multithreaded applications by enabling
simultaneous multithreading within each processor core, up to two threads per core.
Intel Virtualization Technology integrates hardware-level virtualization hooks that allow operating
system vendors to better use the hardware for virtualization workloads.
Up to four 2133 MHz DDR4 ECC or non-ECC UDIMMs provide speed and capacity of up to 64 GB.
The server offers PCI Express 3.0 I/O expansion capabilities that increase the theoretical maximum
bandwidth by almost 100% (8 GTps per link using 128b/130b encoding) compared to the PCI
Express 2.0 (5 GTps per link using 8b/10b encoding).
With Intel Integrated I/O Technology, the PCI Express 3.0 controller is integrated into the Intel Xeon
processor E3-1200 v5 product family. Such integration reduces I/O latency and increases overall
system performance.
Up to five non-hot-swap (NHS) drive bays provide flexible internal storage capacity.
The use of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead of, or along with, traditional spinning drives (hard disk
drives or HDDs) can significantly improve I/O performance.
Availability and serviceability
The TS150 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:
The TS150 supports UDIMM memory with ECC protection which provides error correction not
available in PC-class "servers" that use parity memory. Avoiding system crashes (and data loss) due
to soft memory errors means greater system uptime.
Tool-less cover removal provides easy access to upgrades and serviceable parts, such as memory
and adapter cards.
A choice of affordable onboard SATA RAID or advanced hardware RAID redundancy offers data
protection and greater system uptime.
The use of SSDs can provide better reliability than the use of traditional HDDs, for greater uptime.
Built-in Active Management Technology continuously monitors system parameters, sends alerts, and
enables administrators to perform remote recovery actions to minimize downtime.
The ThinkServer EasyUpdate firmware update tool enables you to keep your server firmware up-to-
date and helps you avoid unnecessary server outages.
The ThinkServer Diagnostics software speeds up troubleshooting tasks to reduce service time.
One-year or three-year customer-replaceable unit (CRU) and onsite limited warranty with next
business day response. Optional service upgrades are available.

Manageability and security
Powerful systems management features simplify local and remote management of the TS150:
Active Management Technology monitors server availability and enables administrators to perform
remote management.
An integrated industry-standard Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) enables improved setup,
configuration, and updates, and simplifies error handling.
The ThinkServer EasyStartup tool simplifies the process of configuring RAID and installing supported
Microsoft Windows and Linux operating systems, VMware hypervisors, and device drivers on a
ThinkServer system.
Optional Trusted Cryptographic Module (TCM) (available only in China) enables advanced
cryptographic functionality, such as digital signatures and remote attestation.
Administrator's and power-on passwords help protect from unauthorized access to the server.
Optional server locks such as a padlock or cable lock help prevent unauthorized access to the
internal components of the server, and the intrusion switch (select models) informs about the
removed or improperly installed server cover.
Energy efficiency
The TS150 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase
energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:
Energy-efficient planar components help lower operational costs.
80 PLUS Platinum-certified power supply (select models) enables greater energy savings while
providing flexibility to meet your business needs.
Intelligent Cooling Engine (ICE) actively monitors component temperatures in real-time and optimally
adjusts the speeds of the fans to keep the system cooler and quieter.
The ThinkServer Power Planner tool provides information about the power consumption and electric
current calculation for the different configurations of servers and other devices, which helps plan
deployment of servers and devices in an efficient way.
Intel Intelligent Power Capability powers individual processor elements on and off as needed, to
reduce power draw.

Power supplies
The TS150 server supports one 250 W AC (100-240 V) fixed power supply (80 PLUS Bronze) or one 400 W
AC (100-240 V) fixed power supply (80 PLUS Platinum). A country-specific power cord is included with the
server (except EMEA models; EMEA models do not ship with a power cord).
Important: To ensure that the correct power supply is chosen, it is highly recommended to validate system
configuration for specific power requirements by using the latest version of the ThinkServer Power Planner,
which is available at this website:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101155
Systems management
The ThinkServer TS150 models with Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5 processors support Intel Active Management
Technology (AMT) which provides out-of-band, hardware-based advanced system control, monitoring,
alerting, and remote presence functions. The TS150 models with Intel Core i3, Pentium, or Celeron
processors support Intel Standard Manageability (ISM), which is a subset of the AMT features.
Both AMT and ISM offer the following features:
Out-of-band management
System health and status monitoring
System event log and alerting
Hardware inventory
Boot device selection
Remote power control
Serial over LAN
IDE/USB Redirect for mounting remote media
In addition, AMT supports KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) redirection (KVM redirection requires an Intel Xeon
E3-1200 v5 processor with integrated graphics).
Important: Health monitoring, event log, alerts, hardware inventory, boot device selection, and remote
power control features are accessible out-of-band with a web browser. Serial over LAN, IDE/USB Redirect,
and KVM redirection features require third-party tools that are not supplied or supported by Lenovo.
Both AMT and ISM operate independently of the server and remain operational even if the server is powered
off. Out-of-band management is performed through the Ethernet port 0, which is a shared port for data and
management.
AMT and ISM support the following management protocols:
DASH 1.1
WS-MAN
SNMP Platform Event Traps (PET)
Lenovo ThinkServer TS150 (Intel Xeon E3-1200 v5, Core i3, Pentium/Celeron G Series Processors) 15

AMT and ISM support the following management user interfaces:
Web browser
A third-party platform management software, including but not limited to the following tools:
RealVNC Viewer Plus (for remote KVM)
Intel Platform Solution Manager (for comprehensive support of AMT features)
Lenovo offers the following software tools that can help you set up, use, and maintain the server at no
additional cost:
