Supermicro X13 CloudDC: compact 1U and 2U cloud servers
X13 CloudDC covers single and dual-socket 4th generation Xeon Scalable in a tool-less, hot-swap design aimed at rapid cloud deployment: SYS-111C-NR and SYS-121C-TN10R at 1U, SYS-611C-TN4R at 1U with 3.5-inch bays, and SYS-621C-TN12R at 2U with 12x 3.5-inch drives and six PCIe 5.0 slots.

Source of the values: Supermicro X13 SuperServer family brochure (CloudDC section). Excel lists this family’s codes as SYS-610U-TNR/SYS-620U-TNR (previous, X12/3rd Gen Xeon generation; we hold a datasheet for SYS-610U-TNR confirming it is 3rd Gen Xeon, not the current X13 platform). Supermicro’s current X13 brochure uses SYS-6x1C-TNxxR naming for the same CloudDC line; we quote the current X13 codes here and log the naming change separately (K-69). An en dash means the manufacturer does not publish that value in the source we hold; we do not fill it in with an estimate. Confirm every figure against the current manufacturer document before it is written into a contract.
The codes we quote in this family are SYS-621C-TN12R, SYS-121C-TN10R, SYS-111C-NR and SYS-611C-TN4R. Send us the workload and the constraints, and we will confirm availability, lead time and the exact configuration.
Which one should you choose?
A naming-generation correction worth knowing before you quote
Our internal product list names this family’s codes as SYS-610U-TNR/SYS-620U-TNR; we hold a datasheet for SYS-610U-TNR and it documents 3rd generation Xeon on the previous X12 platform, not the current X13 generation. Supermicro’s current X13 brochure uses SYS-6x1C-TNxxR naming for the same CloudDC role, and that is what we quote on this page.
Single-socket UP and dual-socket DP options share the same chassis footprint
SYS-111C-NR (single-socket) and SYS-121C-TN10R (dual-socket) both fit in 1U, letting a row standardise on one physical footprint while choosing single or dual socket per node based on the actual workload’s core requirement; useful for a mixed web-server and application-server row.
Titanium PSUs on this line are about total cost, not just compliance
80 PLUS Titanium redundant power supplies across the CloudDC line reduce electricity waste at typical server load compared to Platinum, which compounds meaningfully across a large cloud deployment’s power bill over several years, not just at the point of purchase.
SYS-621C-TN12R’s six PCIe 5.0 slots suit a network-function role
With 12x 3.5-inch drives and six PCIe 5.0 slots in 2U, SYS-621C-TN12R has enough expansion headroom for high-throughput network function virtualization or storage controller cards alongside its drive bays; check the specific card’s power draw against the chassis PSU before finalising a dense expansion configuration.
All four CloudDC codes share tool-less serviceability as standard
Tool-less brackets and hot-swap drive trays across the whole line mean a failed drive or fan can be swapped without powering down the chassis or reaching for a screwdriver, which shortens the maintenance window on a live cloud row and reduces the training needed for on-site staff.
Where it fits, and where it does not
Fits a cloud or web-hosting row that wants tool-less serviceability and a choice of single/dual socket in the same compact footprint. Does not fit a role needing the X12-generation SYS-610U/620U-TNR specifically; those are a previous, 3rd Gen Xeon platform, not what this page describes.
What we need in order to quote it
- Single or dual socket per node
- Drive form factor: 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch, and count needed
- PCIe expansion requirement for network or storage cards
- Row power budget and Titanium PSU sizing
