Dual-socket 2U rack server

The Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ is a 2U rackmount server fitted with two Intel Xeon E5-2660 v4 processors, each running at 2.0 GHz with 14 cores. It ships with 32 GB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across four 8 GB modules. Twelve front-accessible 3.5-inch hot-plug bays accept SATA or SAS drives and connect to an LSI MegaRAID 9361-8i controller that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60.

Suits dense storage workloads

This platform suits teams that need dual-processor compute paired with twelve 3.5-inch drive slots in a 2U footprint, plus four 10GBase-T ports from the Intel X540 adapter and IPMI 2.0 remote management. Buyers who want more than twelve 3.5-inch bays, or who require 2.5-inch drive carriers, should look at a different chassis. Workloads that demand GPU acceleration will not be served by the onboard Matrox G200 graphics with 8 MB video memory.

Twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug bays

The single specification that decides fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-plug drive bays backed by the MegaRAID 9361-8i controller. If the deployment requires exactly twelve large-form-factor SATA or SAS drives with hardware RAID, this server matches that requirement; if the bay count or form factor differs, another system is needed.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 32 GB configuration or add more DDR4 later?

The system ships with 32 GB across four 8 GB modules, leaving 20 free DIMM slots. You can expand up to 1.5 TB total by populating the remaining slots with registered ECC DDR4.

What does the 2.0 GHz base clock with 3.2 GHz turbo mean for actual workloads?

Each of the two 14-core Xeon E5-2660 v4 CPUs runs at 2.0 GHz normally and can boost to 3.2 GHz when thermal headroom allows, giving 28 threads for virtualization, databases or multi-threaded apps.

How many 10GBase-T ports does the X540 controller provide and what cabling do they use?

The add-on card supplies four RJ45 10GBase-T ports, so you connect standard Cat6a or better copper up to 100 metres per link.
