Supermicro ARS-210M-NR 2U barebone server

SKU CH-1K4Y-X38EE MPN ARS-210M-NR

2U barebone server supporting single Ampere Altra or Altra Max processors up to 128 cores, 16 DDR4 DIMM slots, four 2.5" NVMe hot-swap bays and four PCIe 4.0 GPU slots

  • Supports up to 80-core Ampere Altra processor for high parallel workloads
  • 16 DDR4 DIMM slots enable up to 4TB registered memory capacity
  • Four 2.5 U.2 NVMe hot-swap bays provide fast local storage access
  • Dual 25Gb SFP28 ports deliver high-throughput networking out of the box
  • 1600W redundant titanium power supplies ensure efficient continuous operation

2U barebone for Ampere Altra processors

The Supermicro ARS-210M-NR is a 2U barebone server designed for single-socket Ampere Altra or Altra Max processors. It supports CPUs with up to 128 cores and a 250W TDP. The platform targets high-density compute workloads in data centre environments.

16 DIMM slots and modular drive bays

The system provides 16 DIMM slots for up to 4TB of DDR4-3200 ECC registered memory. Four 2.5-inch U.2 NVMe hot-swap bays are included, with a modular design that allows expansion to 16 or 24 bays. Dual 25Gb SFP28 ports and an OCP 3.0 AIOM slot handle networking.

GPU-heavy inference and scale-out clouds

This chassis suits teams running GPU-accelerated inference or scale-out cloud services that benefit from high core counts and PCIe 4.0 bandwidth. It is less suited for buyers who need more storage density than 24 bays provide or who require dual-socket memory capacity. Organisations without 25Gb networking infrastructure will not use the onboard SFP28 ports.

Questions about this item

How many DIMM slots will need populated modules if I expand memory later?

The chassis provides 16 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 4 TB of ECC registered memory at 3200 MHz.

Which component hits its thermal ceiling first when the CPU runs at 250 W TDP continuously?

The 1600 W redundant titanium power supplies and chassis airflow are rated for the processor's full 250 W TDP under sustained load.

What is the typical fan noise level when all four 300 W GPU slots are active all day?

Four double-wide GPUs at 300 W each plus the CPU push total system power toward the 1600 W redundant supply limit, requiring high fan speeds.
