24-bay E3.S storage server
The Supermicro SSG-222B-NE3X24R is a 2U barebone server built for high-density NVMe storage. It supports up to 24 front-loading E3.S 1T drive bays and dual Intel Xeon 6700 series processors in LGA-4710 sockets. The platform targets workloads that demand large flash capacity and PCIe 5.0 throughput in a compact rack form factor.
Air cooling for 350W CPUs
Each processor socket is rated for up to 350W TDP with air cooling, allowing the system to sustain high compute density without liquid infrastructure. The chassis accommodates up to two double-width GPUs with a maximum 300W TDP each. Power delivery and thermal design are engineered for continuous operation under heavy storage and acceleration workloads.
32 DDR5 slots and CXL 2.0 expansion
The system provides 32 DIMM slots for DDR5-6400 memory up to 8TB in a 2DPC configuration. Two OCP 3.0 AIOM slots and multiple PCIe 5.0 x16 and x8 slots enable flexible networking and accelerator choices. Up to 8 CXL 2.0 x8 Type 3 devices can be attached for memory expansion or coherent acceleration. Builders needing more than 24 drive bays or single-socket operation should consider other platforms.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 24 E3.S NVMe drives into the front-loading bays and which step is commonly missed?
Slide each E3.S 1T NVMe drive into a front hot-swap bay until the latch clicks; the step often missed is fully seating the latch to engage the PCIe 5.0 connector and lock the drive in place.
What maintenance or replacement will the dual Xeon 6700 series processors and memory configuration require over time?
The LGA-4710 sockets and 32 DDR5-6400 DIMM slots are fixed; plan for fan and power-supply module replacements as the primary field-serviceable items.
What thermal limit appears first when the CPUs run at 350 W TDP continuously under air cooling?
The 350 W per-socket ceiling with air cooling is the first sustained-use boundary; exceeding it requires liquid cooling not included in this barebone.
