Supermicro SYS-220U-TNR | X12 Ultra 2U Rack Server, Dual 3rd Gen Xeon Scalable

Q: What processors does the SYS-220U-TNR support?
A: This server supports dual 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors (Ice Lake, Socket P+ LGA-4189) with thermal design points up to 270W, delivering up to 40 cores and 80 threads per CPU for high-performance computing and virtualization workloads.

Q: How many drive bays are available and what types of storage are supported?
A: The system offers 24 hot-swap 2.5-inch drive bays (22 front, 2 rear) with hybrid support for NVMe, SAS, and SATA drives. You can mix and match drive types in any configuration without speed limitations. Additional controller cards may be required for full NVMe or SAS support across all bays.

Q: What is the maximum memory capacity?
A: The server supports up to 8TB of DDR4 ECC memory (RDIMM/LRDIMM) across 32 DIMM slots at speeds up to 3200MHz. With a mix of DDR4 and Intel Optane Persistent Memory 200 series modules, capacity can reach up to 12TB for memory-intensive applications like large databases and in-memory computing.

Q: What networking options are available?
A: The SYS-220U-TNR offers flexible networking with optional configurations: dual 10GbE RJ45 ports using Intel X710-AT2, or a combination of dual 10GbE RJ45 plus dual 10GbE SFP+ ports using Intel X710-TM4. A dedicated 1GbE port is provided for IPMI 2.0 out-of-band management.

Q: What are the primary use cases for this server?
A: This server is optimized for virtualization platforms, cloud computing infrastructure, software-defined storage deployments, high-performance computing, 5G and telecommunications applications, and high-end enterprise workloads requiring dense storage, high memory capacity, and PCIe 4.0 expansion.
