Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ 2U rack server 2x Xeon E5-2680 v4 14-core 2.4GHz 768GB DDR4 12x 3.5" bays

Dual-socket Xeon 2U server

The Supermicro SYS-6028U-TR4T+ is a 2U rackmount server built around two Intel Xeon E5-2680 v4 processors, each with 14 cores running at 2.4 GHz and a 3.3 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 768 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz registered ECC memory across 24 DIMM slots and includes a MegaRAID 9361-8i controller with 1 GB cache and battery backup. Twelve hot-swap 3.5-inch drive bays accept SATA or SAS drives, while a Matrox G200 GPU provides basic video output.

Suits virtualisation and storage-heavy workloads

This system fits organisations running virtualised environments, databases or private clouds that benefit from dual-socket compute density and 10 GbE networking. The quad-port Intel X540 adapter and IPMI 2.0 with KVM-over-LAN simplify remote management at scale. Buyers who need more than 12 drive bays or more than 768 GB of installed memory should evaluate larger chassis options.

12-bay 3.5-inch hot-swap capacity

The single specification that determines fit is the twelve 3.5-inch hot-swap bays served by an 8-port SAS 12 Gb/s RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. If your deployment requires more than twelve large-form-factor drives or a different drive form factor, this server will not meet the requirement.
