System planning
Start with the chassis and its documented dependencies.
System configuratorSelect up to four identities. Matching a field does not establish replacement compatibility.
| Recorded field | SYS-821GE-TNHRSupermicro |
|---|---|
| Identity type | configuration-number |
| Evidence status | OEM fields reviewed · see remaining checks |
| Form factor | 8U |
| Title-derived · form factor | 8U |
| OEM review · chassis | 8U rack, rear I/O; 437 mm wide, 355.6 mm high, 843.28 mm deep |
| OEM review · cpu | Two fourth- or fifth-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors, LGA4677 |
| OEM review · gpu | Eight HGX H100 or H200 onboard GPUs with NVLink/NVSwitch |
| OEM review · memory | 32 DIMMs: up to 4 TB at 5600 MT/s with 1DPC or 8 TB at 4400 MT/s with 2DPC |
| OEM review · storage | Default: twelve NVMe plus three SATA front bays. Optional four additional NVMe positions give nineteen front bays; two M.2 boot slots |
| OEM review · power | Six 3000 W supplies with 4+2 redundancy; optional eight-supply 4+4 layout |
| OEM review · network | The OEM configuration page lists optional 10GbE SFP+ / 25GbE SFP28 adapters, while the datasheet lists RJ45 alternatives. Exact networking remains review_required until the adapter BOM is identified. |
