Four-node density in 2U

The Supermicro SYS-220BT-HNC8R packs four independent compute nodes into a single 2U rackmount chassis, each node supporting up to two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors on LGA 4189 sockets. It targets AI, ML and HPC workloads that benefit from high core counts and memory bandwidth per unit of rack space. Buyers receive the barebone system only; CPUs, memory and drives must be sourced separately.

Verify power and CPU cooling before ordering

The chassis includes a 2600 W redundant power supply; confirm your rack PDU and circuit can deliver that load. Each node requires a compatible LGA 4189 heatsink or liquid cold plate rated for the chosen Xeon TDP, and these are not included. Memory must be DDR4 3200 ECC RDIMM or LRDIMM modules to reach the 6 TB per-node maximum across the 16 DIMM slots.

Six hot-swap bays and dual PCIe 4.0 slots per node

Each node provides six 2.5-inch hot-swap bays that accept NVMe, SATA or SAS drives, plus two low-profile PCIe 4.0 x16 slots for accelerators or networking cards. Two M.2 slots per node support either NVMe or SATA modules. Rear I/O per node includes one VGA, one COM and two USB 3.0 ports for local management.

Questions about this item

What CPUs and memory do I need to add to the four nodes in this 2U barebone?

Each of the four nodes takes up to two 3rd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors in LGA 4189 sockets and up to 6 TB of DDR4 3200 ECC RDIMM across 16 DIMM slots per node; no CPUs or memory are installed.

Which M.2 form factor should I select for the internal slot on each node?

The internal M.2 slot on each node accepts either an NVMe or a SATA3 M.2 drive; choose the protocol that matches the drive you plan to install.

What does the 2600 W redundant power supply mean for a fully loaded four-node configuration?

The 2600 W redundant supply powers all four nodes simultaneously, delivering enough headroom for dual CPUs, full memory population, six 2.5-inch hot-swap drives and two PCI-E 4.0 x16 low-profile cards per node.
