Key features

The ThinkServer TS460 is a tower server that has been optimized to provide enterprise-class features to growing small-to-medium-sized businesses, retail stores, and distributed enterprises.

Scalability and performance

The ThinkServer TS460 offers numerous features to boost performance, improve scalability, and reduce costs:

• The Intel Xeon processor E3-1200 v6 improves productivity by offering affordable single-socket system performance with 4-core processors with up to 3.9 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.

Availability and serviceability

The ThinkServer TS460 provides many features to simplify serviceability and increase system uptime:

• The server 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.

Energy efficiency

The ThinkServer TS460 offers the following energy-efficiency features to save energy, reduce operational costs, increase energy availability, and contribute to a green environment:

• 80 PLUS Gold-certified power supplies enable greater energy savings while providing flexibility to meet your business needs.
• 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.
