Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 Upper Compute Tray Kit — 16k Fans, 6-8S Upgrade Gen1 v2

This Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 Upper Compute Tray Kit is crafted for data centers and enterprise deployments that demand exceptional cooling efficiency, easy maintenance, and scalable performance. Built to enhance the SR950 server's compute density, this upgrade brings together robust airflow management, modular design, and a streamlined path to higher socket counts with the Gen1 v2 6-8S upgrade. The result is a server upgrade that helps you sustain consistent performance under demanding workloads, minimize downtime during component swaps, and simplify field service with clearly defined interfaces and standardized installation steps. Whether you’re expanding capacity for AI workloads, virtualization, or mixed IT environments, this upper compute tray kit keeps your SR950 running cooler and more reliably while preserving a clean, organized chassis interior.

  • Enhanced cooling performance for dense Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 configurations. The 16k fans deliver targeted airflow through optimized channels, helping to maintain lower temperatures across processors, memory, and accelerators, which translates to steadier clock speeds and longer component life even under sustained peak loads.
  • 6-8S Upgrade Gen1 v2 compatibility for scalable growth. This kit is designed to support higher socket configurations within the SR950 family, enabling a flexible upgrade path as your compute requirements evolve. The Gen1 v2 upgrade refines thermal sensing, airflow routing, and system integration to deliver dependable performance across a broader range of workloads.
  • Modular, serviceable design for faster field maintenance. The upper compute tray approach minimizes cable routing complexity and allows technicians to swap or upgrade components with minimal disruption to adjacent hardware. A tidy tray layout improves accessibility, reduces chassis downtime, and simplifies diagnostic workflows.
  • Integrated reliability and manageability. The kit works in concert with Lenovo’s management ecosystem to monitor temperatures, fan speeds, and health status. This integration helps operators spot thermal anomalies early, allocate cooling resources effectively, and maintain service-level objectives in demanding data-center environments.
  • Clean integration with SR950 power and cooling architectures. The tray aligns with Lenovo’s heat-dissipation strategy, ensuring consistent airflow and minimizing hotspots. The result is a stable platform for compute-heavy tasks such as virtualization, databases, analytics, and other enterprise workloads that demand robust performance under load.

how to install Lenovo ThinkSystem SR950 Upper Compute Tray Kit with 16k fans, 6-8S Upgrade Gen1 v2

  • Power down the server and disconnect all external cables before beginning any maintenance. Ensure you follow your data-center protocol for power-down and safety to protect personnel and equipment.
  • Open the chassis and locate the existing upper compute tray area. Review Lenovo service guides to identify mounting points, connector interfaces, and any required removal steps for the current tray.
  • Carefully detach the existing tray if you are replacing it, taking care to disconnect any cables and to keep components organized for reassembly. Keep screws and fasteners organized to match the mounting points on the SR950 chassis.
  • Position the new Upper Compute Tray Kit so that alignment guides engage with chassis rails and the tray seats fully. Reattach any required connectors securely, ensuring alignment with the corresponding ports and power interfaces.
  • Secure the tray with the appropriate screws, reconnect cables, and perform an initial power-on to verify that the fans, sensors, and compute elements start correctly. Access Lenovo’s XClarity or the server management interface to verify fan speed, temperatures, and health indicators before returning the system to production use.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is included with the SR950 Upper Compute Tray Kit?

This is a better quality matcha than what is used at Starbucks!
Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This product is better than the matcha powder mix used at Starbucks! Starbucks uses a 51% sugar mix with questionably sourced matcha/sencha making up the other 49%. It has no tea flavor as it's basically just sweetened milk. If you've come to matcha through the Starbucks lens, this is NOT that product. It's what you should be drinking instead! When I've tried to get matcha powder locally at the grocery store, I've not been able to find one that is the same quality as this in such a value size quantity. For size reference, I'm pretty sure this size bag could last one person 3mos even if they were drinking a matcha latte everyday. This matcha here packs a bolder flavor, a better boost of energy, and more mental clarity without the crash that you'd have from coffee. It is unsweetened, which gives you the freedom to make the final product (latte, smoothie, whatever) as sweet or unsweet as you like. The powder is ULTRA fine, and is about the consistency of powdered sugar. It dissolves wonderfully in a few ounces of the liquid of your choice (I prefer oatmilk), and it suspends very nicely and does not sink to the bottom when at rest for a few moments. All around highly recommend. Unless you're Japanese and have had that real good stuff and would know the difference, this is probably good enough for most people.

Pretty good, recommend
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
These are some photos and this Morton salt for size comparison. It’s pretty big. It has a spoon inside which is pretty useful. Ok so I really like this matcha. Its culinary grade and it tastes pretty good. I use it for my daily matcha latte. Its not bitter and actually slightly sweet-ish, but it has no additives so its nice. It does get a little clumpy when I stir it, I wish I had a matcha whisk, I just use a spoon.

Worth the money
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I'm inexperienced with matcha... Just wanted to order some good matcha, only to discover all of these obscure classifications and prices varrying wildly. Before this brand, I ordered ceremonial and also "culinary cafe" from the jade brand. Couldn't really taste a significant difference, so I didn't sweat purchasing this. There is a difference with this: the higher quality matchas did foam more when mixing and had slightly thicker consistency, and tasted a bit less grassy. This brand actually tastes fantastic, if you don't mind a very subtle grassy but sweet flavor. The savory sweet flavor dominates in a good way; grassy is very much still nothing more than an afterthought. But - and a very significant but - it hardly foams after mixing. So, the viscosity of the liquid when mixed, although enjoyable, leaves something to be desired. That said, like a good salesman the seller points out that this mathca is unusual because of its concentration on being organic, even at the expense of whatever desirable flavor profile could be contributed by pesticides, lead, radiation etc. Perhaps this is an exaggeration... Nevertheless I take comfort in their emphasis on safety anyway. It's definitely more affordable, being around $1 an ounce. Thanks for keeping other matcha brands honest... So I recommend the value absolutely. But it you want the best of the best, I just don't know enough to give you a good answer.

Micro Ingredients Organic Matcha makes a good anytime tea.
Size: 32 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Micro Ingredients Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder delivers exactly what it promises: a clean, earthy, first-harvest matcha that balances approachability with authenticity. It’s a versatile and surprisingly smooth everyday matcha. The flavor leans toward earthy, grassy, and mildly nutty, with a gentle bitterness that feels natural rather than harsh.

Great. Just as good as fancy stuff But dose not pair with peppermint.
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you're making Macha lattes or mixing the match with anything, this is perfect! No need to buy the expensive ceremonial level stuff unless you're drinking ONLY Macha. This is honestly perfect for everything. Mix 2 of its provided spoonfuls with 1/2 cup of kettle hot water and stir, maybe even add more matcha until a bit thick, pour over a glass full of ice (should fill half the glass if full of ice) as the last half as milk with a pump of your favorite syrup. Mine is strawberry, my gf's is Vanilla. Peppermint was not good, though fyi.
