Supermicro SYS-212HA-TN 2U rack server 12 DDR5 slots 8×2.5" NVMe/SAS/SATA 3 PCIe 5.0 1 AIOM

2U Rack Server for Cloud Scale-Out

The Supermicro SYS-212HA-TN is a 2U single-socket server built for scale-out cloud workloads. It supports one Intel Xeon 6900 series processor with up to 128 cores and 256 threads. Twelve DDR5 slots deliver up to 3TB of memory at 8800 MT/s MRDIMM or 6400 MT/s RDIMM speeds. Eight hot-swap 2.5-inch bays accept NVMe, SAS or SATA drives with RAID 0/1/5/10 support.

Upgrade from Older Single-Socket Platforms

This system replaces earlier single-processor rack servers that max out at lower core counts, slower memory speeds or PCIe 4.0 storage. The jump is worth it when workloads demand 500W TDP CPU headroom, 504MB cache capacity or PCIe 5.0 bandwidth for NVMe drives. It also adds Silicon Root of Trust compliant with NIST 800-193 and cryptographically signed firmware for supply-chain security.

PCIe 5.0 and OCP 3.0 Constraints

Three PCIe 5.0 slots plus one PCIe 5.0 AIOM slot provide high-throughput expansion for accelerators, networking or storage controllers. The AIOM slot follows the OCP NIC 3.0 form factor for modular networking. Network connectivity beyond the dedicated 1 GbE BMC management port depends entirely on the card installed in the AIOM slot. Double-width add-in cards are supported within the 2U chassis limits.
