Each channel contains two DIMM slots. Both ECC unbuffered (ECC UDIMMs) and non-ECC unbuffered (non-ECC UDIMMs) can be installed into each node. For enterprise environments where data is crucial, it is best to use ECC memory. ECC adds protection against data corruption. A max configuration of 128GB can be achieved with 4x32GB ECC UDIMMs and non-ECC UDIMMs. Module speeds of 2133MT/s, 2400MT/s, 2666MT/s, 2933MT/s, and 3200MT/s can be used with each node. It is important to note that not every processor will supported to listed speeds. If you install a speed that is unsupported by the processor, the module will clock down to the maximum supported speed. The function will still function properly, but at a lower speed. Storage Each node accepts up to two 2.5" NVMe or SATA SSDs. There are two dedicated bays that you can install these drives into to. The motherboard in each node also has two M-key M.2 slots. One of the slots is a PCIe Gen4 x4 slot, and accepts NVMe or SATA 22110/2280 M.2 drives. The second M.2 slot is a PCIe Gen3 x2 slot, and accepts NVMe or SATA 2280 M.2 drives. NVMe Options & Upgrades The Cloud Ninjas B550 18 Node Server has loads of NVMe support. Each node is equipped with a PCIe 3.0 x2 M.2 slot, a PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, and two 2.5" drive bays. All of these options support NVMe. 2.5" U.2 NVMe drives can be plugged into the two drive bays, and NVMe M.2 drives can be installed into each M.2 slot. If you install a PCIe Gen4 M.2 drive into the PCIe Gen3 slot, the drive will still work, but it will clock down to a lower speed. Power Supplies There is only one power supply option provided for this server. We provide four 1600W 100-240V hot-swap power supplies. One of the units are used for redundancy. This means that if one power supply fails, then all 18 nodes will continue to run. In the event that a unit fails, the nodes will remain powered on. Networking Each node includes two integrated Intel X710-AT2 10GbE RJ45 Ethernet ports that can be used to connect the nodes to the Internet.
