The Supermicro ARS-210ME-FNR server is powered by the Ampere Altra Max M128-30 128-core Arm Neoverse-N1 processor. It is designed for networking solutions for telephone systems and edge devices. It’s a relatively small 2U server, only 16.9″ (430mm) deep, but it still packs quite a few features. There are six PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD slots, two USB 3 ports, one VGA port, one out-of-band management port, and two SFP28 cages that offer connections based on the NVIDIA ConnectX-4 Lx NIC.

It also has two riser ports, each with two PCIe Gen4 x16 slots wired for either x16 or x8, and should work with either GPUs or FPGAs. The memory subsystem offers eight channels, with two DIMMs per channel and a maximum total memory of 512 GB. ServeTheHome spent some time breaking it down for your enjoyment here.

They weren’t able to run many benchmarks, but then again how does one test a cutting edge platform for network cards and accelerators?
