Supermicro SYS-211SE-31A | X13 SuperEdge 3-Node 2U Server, 5th/4th Gen Xeon

Q: What deployment scenarios is the SYS-211SE-31A designed for?
A: This server is purpose-built for multi-access edge computing, 5G/telco DRAN and CRAN deployments, Flex-RAN and Open-RAN vBBU applications, and enterprise edge computing environments requiring NEBS compliance and short-depth form factors.

Q: How many independent server nodes are in this system?
A: The SYS-211SE-31A contains three hot-pluggable, independently configurable server nodes within a single 2U chassis. Each node has its own processor, memory, storage, PCIe expansion, and management interface.

Q: What generation Intel Xeon processors are supported per node?
A: Each node supports a single 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor or 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor in Socket E (LGA-4677). CPUs with TDP over 205W may have specific cooling or configuration requirements.

Q: What is the maximum memory capacity per node?
A: Each node supports up to 2TB of DDR5 memory across 8 DIMM slots, using DDR5-5600MT/s RDIMM or LRDIMM modules, including 3DS (3D stacked) configurations.

Q: Does this system support PCIe Gen5 expansion?
A: Yes, each node provides three PCIe Gen5 x16 slots: two full-height half-length (FHHL) slots and one half-height half-length (HHHL) slot, enabling high-speed network adapters, accelerators, or storage controllers.
