Supermicro SYS-210P-FRDN6T 2U barebone server, 8×2.5″ NVMe/SATA/SAS bays

2U edge barebone for Xeon Scalable

This 2U rackmount barebone is built around the LGA 4189 socket for 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors. It targets edge workloads such as 5G core, AI inference, network function virtualisation and cloud computing. The platform ships without a CPU or memory, so integrators choose the exact processor and DDR4 3200 ECC modules for their performance envelope.

Eight hot-swap bays plus flexible PCIe

The front panel holds eight 2.5-inch hot-swap bays that accept NVMe, SATA or SAS drives, giving dense local storage without cabling clutter. Two internal SATA 600 ports and one M.2 slot (NVMe or SATA3, M-Key, 2280/22110) add boot or cache options. Expansion includes one PCIe 4.0 x16 or x8 low-profile slot, a second PCIe 4.0 x16/x8 low-profile slot that is disabled when the first runs at x16, an optional PCIe 4.0 x8 full-height half-length slot for CPUs under 165 W, and two PCIe 4.0 x16 full-height half-length slots.

Front I/O and single-socket simplicity

Two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports on the face provide direct peripheral access for installation or diagnostics. A single COM port and VGA output complete the front connectivity. Because the board supports only one processor, power and cooling planning stays straightforward, while the eight DIMM slots allow up to 2 TB of DDR4 3200 ECC memory when fully populated.
