Lenovo ThinkSystem buyback — SR / ST / SD all generations.
We buy back Lenovo ThinkSystem servers across SR-series rack (1U / 2U / 4-socket), ST-series tower, and SD-series dense modular (SD530 / SD630). Indicative INR residuals: SR630 V2 Rs1,000–2,200; SR650 V2 Rs1,400–3,200; SR860 V2 (4-socket) Rs3,500–6,000+; ST650 V2 (tower) Rs1,200–2,400; SD530 (per node) Rs900–1,800. XCC license tier transfer support included.

Lenovo-specific drivers of per-unit INR value.
Lenovo ThinkSystem residual drivers: XClarity Controller (XCC) license tier (Standard / Advanced / Enterprise) transferability, Lenovo Premier Support contract state, and chip generation (V2 / V3). EPYC-loaded SR variants (SR635 / SR645 / SR655 / SR665) carry AMD-platform premium. SD-series dense modular has narrower buyer demand but stable in HPC and Hyderabad research labs.
Pre-decom: XCC user accounts and any OneCLI-deployed automation should be scrubbed via your normal change-management. At packout, NIST 800-88 Clear on XCC flash; full Purge if the device held AAA / SNMPv3 / SAML SP credentials. Per-server documentation on the Certificate.
Per-job Certificate of Destruction. Serial-level chain of custody.
Every drive that leaves your premises is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (Clear / Purge / Destroy) and IEEE 2883-2022 storage-sanitisation methods, with DoD 5220.22-M overwrite available on request for legacy audit-compatibility. Each engagement ships with a per-job Certificate of Destruction listing serial numbers, sanitisation method per device, operator initials, and a SHA-256 hash of the supporting log file — the evidence pack that goes into your DPDPA 2023 § 8 (Reasonable Security Safeguards) and RBI IT-Risk Management Master Direction file.
Serial-level chain of custody is recorded from the moment a device leaves your premises to the moment it is sanitised. We carry professional indemnity, public-liability, and transit insurance, all INR-denominated. Right-to-audit clauses in our Statements of Work are standard for our BFSI customers — RBI-regulated banks, IRDAI-regulated insurers, and SEBI-regulated capital-markets participants.
How a Maxicom India buyback runs from asset list to settlement.
Step 1 — Asset list. You send a CSV / spreadsheet with serial numbers, makes, models, and configurations (CPU SKU tier, RAM total, drive count and type). Within 2 working hours we issue a written, INR-denominated, per-line indicative quote. Larger jobs (full-rack data-centre decom) get a site survey scheduled within 24 hours.
Step 2 — Statement of Work. We sign an SoW that specifies the sanitisation method (NIST 800-88 Clear or Purge, or physical destruction where required), the chain-of-custody handoff points, the right-to-audit clause, and the settlement timeline (typically 5 business days from disposition).
Step 3 — Pickup. Locked, GPS-tracked transit. Two-operator + witness sign-off discipline at packout. On-site witnessed destruction available where data-bearing media cannot leave the premises (common for some hospitals, certain bank trading floors, and government-cleared facilities).
Step 4 — Destruction + settlement. Drives sanitised to NIST 800-88; non-data hardware refurbished and remarketed through domestic India + SAARC trader and reseller channels. Per-job Certificate of Destruction issued on completion. INR settlement to your nominated account.
Maxicom India — frequently asked
INR for a Lenovo SR650 V2 with 384GB RAM?
Rs1,800–3,200 working/tested for SR650 V2 with 2× Xeon Gold, 384GB RAM, all-SSD or all-NVMe configuration. XCC Enterprise license transferable adds 10–15%; Premier Support contract transferable adds further 15–25%.
Do you accept Lenovo SD530 / SD630 dense modular nodes?
Yes. SD-series nodes (each ~1U / 2U dense form factor in D2 / D3 chassis) typical residuals Rs900–1,800 per node. Chassis quoted separately. Common in Bengaluru HPC and Pune CAE / engineering simulation environments.
Is Lenovo ThinkSystem with EPYC handled differently from Intel?
Same engagement-flow, different residual drivers — see /amd-server-buyback-in-india/. SR635 / SR645 / SR655 / SR665 follow EPYC residual logic (core count, memory channel population, PCIe gen) layered with Lenovo XCC transferability premium.
Do you cover bulk SR630 buyout from a tech-MNC India HQ?
Yes — typical engagement: 80–200 SR630 / SR650 V2 from Bengaluru tech-MNC. Bulk-tier INR pricing (15–25% premium over single-unit). 14-day pickup window across 2–3 floors. Per-server NIST 800-88 destruction. RBI IT-Risk Management Master Direction-aware evidence pack where the customer is BFSI-adjacent.
How quickly can I get an INR quote for these assets?
Within 2 working hours of receiving your asset list (CSV with serial numbers, makes, models, configurations). Larger jobs requiring a site survey: survey within 24 hours, quote within 1 working day after the survey.
Do you cover multi-location pickups across India metros?
Yes. Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Gurugram, Noida — same-week pickup is standard. Tier-2 cities (Jaipur, Kolkata, Chandigarh-Mohali, Ahmedabad, Indore, Coimbatore, Kochi) covered with 5–10 business-day lead time. One Statement of Work, one project manager, one consolidated INR settlement.
Are your buyback engagements DPDPA 2023-aligned?
Yes. Per-job Certificate of Destruction citing NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 + IEEE 2883-2022 standards. Serial-level chain of custody. Documentation slots into your DPDPA 2023 § 8 (Reasonable Security Safeguards) evidence file. The Data Protection Board of India does not certify ITAD vendors, so what we offer is alignment, not certification.
Do you handle BFSI engagements (RBI / SEBI / IRDAI)?
Yes. RBI IT-Risk Management Master Direction-aware destruction documentation for banks and NBFCs. SEBI Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience Framework-aware for capital-markets participants. IRDAI Information and Cyber Security Guidelines-aware for insurers. Right-to-audit clauses standard in our SoWs.
Can on-site destruction be arranged at our facility?
Yes. Two formats: mobile shred unit (truck-mounted industrial shredder, particle size <2mm) or witnessed-wipe operator (NIST 800-88 Clear / Purge with member of your team witnessing each device). Documentation pack identical to in-facility destruction. Cost typically 15–25% higher; lead time 5–10 business days.
