Supermicro AS-5014A-TT 5U rackmount tower barebone server

SuperWorkstation 5U barebone server

The Supermicro AS-5014A-TT is a new 5U rackmount tower barebone designed for AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 5000WX and 3000WX series processors. It uses a single Socket sWRX8 and provides eight 288-pin DDR4 3200 channels supporting up to 2TB of registered ECC memory. No CPU, memory or storage is installed.

Suited for multi-threaded workstations not compact

This platform suits professionals who need 64 cores, eight-channel memory bandwidth and six PCI-E 4.0 x16 slots for GPUs or accelerators. Builders who need a small-form-factor chassis, integrated graphics or pre-installed components should look elsewhere. The barebone state also requires separate sourcing of processor, memory modules and drives.

Sustained load with dual LAN and fixed drive bays

Under continuous load the system relies on four internal 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA bays plus two front 2.5-inch bays and four M.2 2280 or 22110 slots for storage throughput. Networking uses a 10GBase-T port and a 1GbE port shared with IPMI. Six full-length PCI-E 4.0 x16 slots maintain bandwidth for long compute or render sessions.
