Supermicro SYS-E200-8D barebone server, Xeon D-1528, 6-core, 1.9-2.2 GHz, DDR4 up to 128GB

Compact barebone for embedded networking

The Supermicro SYS-E200-8D is a Mini-1U barebone server built around a soldered Intel Xeon D-1528 processor with six cores and twelve threads running at 1.9 to 2.2 GHz. Its 35 W TDP allows passive CPU cooling assisted by two 40 mm chassis fans, while an external DC power adapter removes internal heat from a power supply. The platform targets embedded networking appliances, firewalls and virtualization hosts that need a small footprint.

Memory capacity and headroom

Four 288-pin DIMM slots accept DDR4 ECC RDIMM up to 128 GB or ECC and non-ECC UDIMM up to 64 GB at speeds of 2133, 1866 or 1600 MHz. No memory is installed, so the buyer chooses capacity and redundancy to match the workload. A single 2.5 inch drive bay with bracket accommodates 9.5 mm thick drives when low-profile memory is used, limiting internal storage to one SATA device.

Interface and expansion limits

Network connectivity provides two 10GBase-T ports from the SoC, two gigabit ports via an Intel i350-AM2 controller and a dedicated IPMI LAN port. Expansion is restricted to one PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot and an M.2 connector with PCIe 3.0 x4 and SATA support. Six SATA 600 ports are available for additional drives, but the single internal bay and external power brick constrain total storage and power headroom.
