Supermicro SYS-1029P-MT 1U barebone server

Dual-socket 1U server for dense compute

The Supermicro SYS-1029P-MT is a 1U rackmount barebone that accepts two 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors in LGA 3647 sockets. Eight DIMM slots support up to 2 TB of DDR4 ECC memory at 2933 MHz. Eight hot-swap 2.5" SATA bays and an optional slim DVD-ROM provide local storage, while a single PCI-E 3.0 x8 full-height half-length slot adds targeted expansion. The Intel C621 chipset underpins the platform for general-purpose workloads.

Thermals noise and power in a 1U chassis

A 450 W redundant power supply feeds both CPUs, memory, drives and the single add-in card within the 1U height. Dual 1 GbE ports via Marvell 88E1512 and a dedicated IPMI 2.0 LAN keep management traffic separate from production traffic. IPMI 2.0 with KVM-over-LAN allows remote power control and console access without a local monitor or keyboard. Front-to-rear airflow is handled by the chassis fans, which spin faster under heavy dual-socket load.

Build quality and daily connectivity

The unit weighs 40 lbs and uses a steel chassis with tool-less drive carriers for quick bay access. Rear I/O includes two USB 2.0 ports and one VGA connector for local install or troubleshooting. Two SuperDOM ports and one M.2 connector that accepts PCIe or SATA modules sit on the motherboard for boot-device flexibility. The single PCI-E 3.0 x8 slot is full-height half-length, so only low-profile or half-length cards fit; builders needing multiple GPUs or additional NICs should choose a wider platform.
