2U Rack Server for Scale-Out Cloud
The Supermicro SYS-212H-TN is a 2U rackmount server built for scale-out cloud workloads. It supports a single Intel Xeon 6700 series processor with up to 144 cores and 108MB cache. The system arrives without a CPU installed, allowing integrators to select the exact processor for their performance and power envelope.
PCIe 5.0 Expansion and NVMe Storage Limits
Up to three PCIe 5.0 slots plus one AIOM slot compatible with OCP NIC 3.0 provide high-speed I/O for networking and accelerators. Eight hot-swap 2.5-inch bays accept NVMe, SAS, or SATA drives with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 support. GPU capacity is limited to one double-width or two single-width cards connected via PCIe 5.0 x16 CPU-to-GPU interconnect.
DDR5 Memory Configuration Decides Maximum Capacity
Sixteen DDR5 RDIMM slots deliver up to 1TB at 6400MT/s in a one-DIMM-per-channel layout or 2TB at 5200MT/s when fully populated with two DIMMs per channel. Buyers who need the full 2TB must accept the lower memory speed, while those prioritising 6400MT/s throughput are capped at 1TB.

Questions about this item
Should I populate 1 DIMM per channel or 2 DIMMs per channel for the 6400 MT/s DDR5 speed?
Use one DIMM per channel (1DPC) to reach 6400 MT/s with up to 1 TB total. Two DIMMs per channel (2DPC) drops the speed to 5200 MT/s but allows up to 2 TB total across the 16 slots.
What does the 144-core Xeon 6700 series actually deliver in this 2U chassis?
The single Socket E2 (LGA-4710) supports up to 144 cores and 144 threads with 108 MB cache at up to 330 W TDP, air-cooled, giving maximum single-socket throughput for scale-out cloud workloads.
How many PCIe 5.0 lanes are available for the AIOM networking slot?
The AIOM slot follows the OCP NIC 3.0 standard and connects via PCIe 5.0, so the networking card can use the full Gen 5 bandwidth provided by the Xeon 6700 series CPU.
