Supermicro 2U nxs2u2nl 12g500

• Nutanix part number: NXS2U2NL12G500
• It’s a 2-node, 2U Nutanix server chassis. 
• Based on Supermicro hardware (Supermicro X10-series boards) in many listings. 

Form Factor

• 2 U, rack-mountable chassis. 
• Supports 12 LFF (3.5") drive bays according to some configurations. 

Processors / CPU

• Compatible with Intel Xeon E5 v3 and v4 series. 
• Example configuration: 4 × Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 (i.e., 2 CPUs per node × 2 nodes) in one listing. 
• Another listing mentions 4 × E5-2680 v4 in the 2-node box.

Memory

• Up to 32 DIMM slots per node (as per BargainHardware listing) → very large memory capacity possible. 
• Example configuration from Chompi: 1024 GB DDR4 (for the 2-node system) with E5-2650 v4 CPUs. 

Storage / Drive Support

• 12 front-access 3.5″ LFF bays in the server chassis (according to some used-server listings)
• Likely supports SAS / SATA drives via backplane (12G meaning 12 Gbps SAS/SATA). The “12G” in model name suggests 12Gb/s SAS compatibility. 
• Drive caddies are often included in used/resale units. 

Power Supply

• Redundant power: 2 × PSUs in the chassis. 
• Example power supply in a used unit: 1600 W SuperMicro PWS-1K68A-1R. 

Network / Connectivity

• Onboard: typical Nutanix nodes have network ports; a used listing mentions “2 × 10 Gb dual-port SFP+ controllers” in some configurations. 
• Also includes IPMI (remote management) via Supermicro board. In the refurb config from BargainHardware: remote access via IPMI 2.0. 

Use-Case / Workload

• Designed for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI), combining compute + storage in each node.
• Suitable for virtualization, VMs, database workloads, and data-heavy applications.
• With 12 LFF bays: can be used for capacity-heavy workloads (large HDDs) or mixed storage scenarios.
